Raising awarness

One of the concerns of the Community Program - for the accompaniment of children with projectable capacities - of the Network is to promote that children with disabilities can attend schools.

This - fundamentally - is because we believe in the need to have spaces of socialization for these children, places outside the house where they can also feel at ease.

Despite the fact that for many years now, and through the Inclusion Law, the schooling of children with disabilities must be guaranteed, the conditions in schools and colleges for these children are not always favorable.

There is a lot of rejection, both from other students and parents and from some teachers. To help reduce this gap, the Community Program coordinators carry out awareness-raising activities in different educational institutions.

To accompany and strengthen this training process, recently - and as an internal edition - we have produced a brochure that brings together concepts and dynamics on this subject, aiming to promote better treatment for people with projectable capacities.
