The Asociation The awakening construction of the extension of the residence for the disabled begins with cerebral palsy. It is a project of the Esther Koplowitz Foundation which aims to expand the center of care for the profoundly disabled with cerebral palsy and related. The video below, which has linked Andrés Aberasturi in his Twitter account, allows to know more details of this project in which the focus is placed on children and adults with cerebral palsy.
According to the page of The Awakening, cerebral palsy is characterized by manifesting an alteration of posture and movement, often associated with other disorders that affect the area of language, hearing, vision and / or course with psychomotor retardation and epilepsy . On November 7, 1977, the Center for Rehabilitation and Special Education was inaugurated THE NEST, as a result of the initiative of five parents of children affected by cerebral palsy, who, in the absence of a place that meets the educational and care needs of their children, decide to associate. The El Nido cooperative evolves to be the The Awakening Parent Association in 1991.
This Center of The Awakening has provided assistance and rehabilitation to paralyzed cerebral children and is currently a fundamental point of reference for this type of problem.
In addition, students are taught in the Center, some of them live in the center permanently, and can learn: Infant Education (EI), Compulsory Basic Education (EBO) and Transition to Adult Life (TVA). The students of the center are multi-efficient and their schooling is conditioned by the psycho-pedagogical report of the guidance team and the subsequent schooling opinion of the commission created for the evaluation. The website indicates that the level of knowledge of the students does not reach, in 100% of the cases, the Infant Education and that most do not know the basics. And it is that motor difficulties are very serious, which makes it difficult to perceive stimuli and, in some cases, to express their real knowledge.
I have seen the video and although Andrés Aberasturi said that it was very hard to do what should be impressive is the effort, work, love and dedication that these parents and these families dedicate to their children and family members in their daily work.
On the website of The awakening It indicates how you can collaborate although I think that any help you can receive is little.
