ANAPLASI opens its doors in Chalandri, Attica. It successfully lobbies for the Government Directive giving patients the right to a comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation program, thus separating Rehabilitation from the welfare structures of institutions for chronic diseases, for the first time in Greece, and the consignment of patients with disabilities to residential institutions. It introduces the practice of the Trans- Disciplinary Rehabilitation Team in Greece and the novel practice of combined therapeutic interventions, where therapists of different specialties simultaneously participate in one therapy session.
