Resumo: We are an association of parents of people with intellectual functional diversity, declared of Public Utility by the Ministry of the Interior, which was created more than 50 years ago. It is directed by a Board of Directors in parents' assembly and we work so that people with functional diversity and their families have a dignified life and can enjoy a
project for the future.
We have 2 main residences. There are 115 people working in our centers.
Rehabilitation activities are carried out (physiotherapy room, rehabilitation pool, stimulation room and personal autonomy), with appropriate staff, physiotherapists, educators and psychologists.
In the occupational center, therapies are carried out with subcontracted jobs handmade wool carpets, pottery workshop, hand-painted fans, bead workshop (such as bracelets, pendants, etc.) and details for gifts and printing (such as mugs, T-shirts, Christmas baskets). We alsohave theatre workshops and a theatre show that our users create during the year.
We also have programs for initial professional qualification, gardening, cleaning, cooking.
Training and job placement workshops and comprehensive employment plans, as well as a special employment cente, where 70% of the employees are people with intellectual functional diversity.
Group activities are carried out on Friday and Saturday afternoons to give walks and snacks to our users of the center or even to people who do not belong to it but are associated to the entity to be able to have this service.
Short-term activities out of the center are carried out, in which a group of users with monitors go to a hostel from Friday to Sunday with activities both within the facilities of the hostel and outside it, visiting tourist areas of the town.

- Cinema visits: we arrange a visit to the cinema to confirm and reserve the seats we need, we buy popcorn and soft
drinks and we enjoy the film we have chosen together.When the film is over, we take a walk around the shopping centre.
- Trips for walks and snacks: We usually have many activities out of this type as we all like to
get out of the house and socialise with the rest of society either walking or just sitting on a terrace having a drink and watching other people go by. We usually choose a different town and sometimes there are towns where they used to live with their relatives and where there are still people they know and can see when they pass by.
- Cooking/handicraft workshops: a group of residents, together with an assistant, go shopping for what is needed to carry out the programmed activity, cooking or any other type of handicraft.
- Relaxing baths with salts, essences and massages: at appropriate times and for those users who like and enjoy this activity, relaxing baths with essences and special soaps for residents in which they can relax and enjoy at a prudent time of disconnection and the pleasant scent of the essences. Weekend walks on the beach: At weekends and when the weather is good (especially in winter) we go for walks on the beach in groups. Sometimes along the promenade or along the shore, depending on the season.
