Integration and coordination of efforts of social organizations, which represent the interests of children, teenagers and youth with limited abilities, their families and those, who support and help them.
The Association was established on June 12, 1992.

Today "GAOORDI" is one of the largest unions of non-commercial organizations in Russia. It incorporates 75 organizations of parents of disabled children and it renders services to more than 16 thousands of families, which bring up children with limited abilities.

As a result of incorporation, the organizations affiliated with the Association have acquired an opportunity to assert their interests at executive and legislative authorities together and, relying on their parental experience, to grant their knowledge and energy for problem solving of the families with disabled children.

The Association began to create different models of social support to the children with limited abilities and for their families, and the most successful of these models were realized (implemented?) with support of international charitable funds and public authorities.
