Asociación Amicos
It is a non-profit entity, founded in 2010, whose mission is to provide service and support to ensure that each person with intellectual disability, autism, palsy-brain damage and their families can develop their life project, with the aim of achieving their inclusion as a full-fledged citizen in a fair and supportive society.
Among its founding purposes are to promote actions, support and resources that facilitate the training and labor integration of people with intellectual disabilities, autism, paralysis-brain damage, promote and encourage volunteering, both national and European, with the aim of promoting work, teamwork and solidarity, and spread the culture of European unity, in order to create ties that bring us closer to the different European cultures and the different problems and realities of people with disabilities throughout Europe. To this end, it develops educational activities, psychomotricity and rehabilitation, occupational workshops, social inclusion activities through leisure and sports, musical therapy… through its structure in 4 areas: Educational (under 21 years of age), People (over 21 years of 21 years old), Companies (guidance and job placement), and Transformation (innovation projects).
Education is a Special Education Center (CEEPR), which currently cares for 28 students. The technical team in charge of the area is made up of a multidisciplinary group made up of 8 special education teachers, a speech therapist, a psychologist, a social worker, and 5 support technicians.
The Associação Grão Vasco is a fledgling association, founded in October 2015. It was born from the desire of the educational community of the Grão Vasco School Grouping to find solutions for the social problems of that same community.
This is necessary because the institution we call School is in fact surrounded by a permeable membrane, through which problems may enter, but which also allows the solutions for those very problems to pass through with equal force.
The Agrupamento de Escolas Grão Vasco is a group of schools made up of 15 separate educational establishments, situated in the centre and outskirts of the city of Viseu, and attended by 2569 children and young people with age groups ranging from pre-school to Year 9 (3 to 16 years of age), with serious social problems and 212 children with special needs. The grouping is home to Special Schools for the visually impaired, for bi-lingual education and for early years intervention and a Learning Resource Centre which provides support for students with autism spectrum disorder. The grouping also has an Education and Training Course for older students with behavioural and motivational problems and long term educational underachievment.
The principles of equality, autonomy and social responsability are at the very heart of our educational ethos and have been at the centre of various projects we have developed over the years.
And promoting social inclusion and community integration, developing individual autonomy and strengthening dialogue, interculturality and education throughout life, supporting families and sharing knowledge are some of our objectives.
Of all the work we carry out with our students with disabilties, we would like to highlight the individual support provided for skills development by teachers, psychologists and therapists, the training and support offered to families, the “Asas nos Pés” Inclusive Dance Group, swimming lessons … and much more.
We are on a journey, facing the challenge of breaking down differences, demistifying limitations and promoting genuinly equal opportunities!
