Inclusion Interamericana, formerly known as CILPEDIM, is an umbrella organization made up by a federation of parents and friends of persons with a disability throughout the Americas. We were born in Santiago, Chile in July 1991, and since then our goal has been to promote and defend the human rights of the persons with a disability, as well as ensure their full integration into society.

Inclusion Interamericana is the continental branch of Inclusion International, a world federation of parent associations. Our principles are contained in the Declaration of Managua, signed on December 3rd, 1993.

We invite you to browse our website, where you will find relevant information on our work, our vision and our principles. You will also find documents and news of great value for our work and for the work of other institutions devoted to the same goals. We will be more than pleased to receive your comments and recommendations, and ensure that these will be taken into account! To send comments, please use the following e-mail address:
