Society is made and designed for people who have a ‘normotypical’ development, i.e. for those who do things in a similar way to most of the population.
People with disabilities have many difficulties (architectural barriers, accessibility, communication, access to work...) to be able to participate in this social life and to develop their autonomy within the society in which they live.
This situation is aggravated when it comes to children with disabilities and even more so with those who have multiple disabilities and/or minority ailments. They are not only excluded from social life, but even more so, from access to play and from developing their autonomy and skills in their natural environment (home, school, park).
The fact that they have different abilities from the rest of the population not only excludes them from society but also condemns them to depend on another person who has to do everything for them. Today's society is highly computerised, with infinite technological resources, where everything or almost everything can be controlled from mobile devices, tablets or computers. But what about people who, because of their disability, cannot access or interact with these devices that control everything?
In this challenge, we work together with Nexe Fundació, an organization that has been dedicated for 40 years to improving the quality of life of children with multiple disabilities and their families, as well as defending their rights.
