Down Syndrome
Far from the idea of a play-recreation center that is aimed above all at serious disabilities, our services are aimed at a mild disability group, a necessary status for planning autonomy paths.
Paths of autonomy
FUERSTEIN METHOD
In the learning model proposed by Feuerstein, exposure to environmental stimuli plays an essential role, which already act on the organism from the very early stages of development, producing changes. The effectiveness of stimuli continues well beyond childhood and influences learning throughout life as long as renewals and variations are ensured.
I PLAY AND LEARN
Autonomy education course aimed at children with Down Syndrome aged 5 to 10.
The main objective of the course is to develop and enhance the first autonomy skills as well as experiment with the peer group. Through playful and pleasant activities, children discover the limits and potential of being in a group and sharing the reference figure.
EXPLORERS
Autonomy education course aimed at pre-adolescents with Down Syndrome aged 10 to 15.
This is where the first steps are taken alone; you can breathe a new climate, "when you grow up"; we begin to work on the 5 areas of autonomy considered basic. The children will work on ROAD BEHAVIOR, increase their ORIENTATION, use PUBLIC TRANSPORT, learn to USE MONEY and COMMUNICATE correctly.
SMART GUYS CLUB
The children's club lasts three years and is aimed at adolescents and young adults with Down Syndrome or similar pathologies, starting from the age of 14.
It is divided into weekly group meetings, lasting three hours each, within which boys and girls can face the hardships and satisfactions linked to the achievement of progressive autonomy in managing relationships with the outside world.
LIVE TOGETHER
The Live Together project is aimed at people with Down Syndrome and similar pathologies who have completed a three-year course of autonomy education and who have therefore acquired the skills to plan and organize activities typical of a group of young friends: going to the cinema, bowling, organize an evening in a pizzeria, a trip, etc.
SIL-Job Placement Service
The SIL Service (Job Placement Service) aimed at researching and raising awareness among companies is aimed at potential workers and families, it aims to create concrete potential so that people with Down Syndrome can find an adequate job and create the foundations for a life as independent as possible.
