Young people lucenses with disability asks for support to be autonomous

It helps highlights that all that more formation they acquire major independence they will be able to obtain in the life

I support to have a work and to live in an independent way in my own housing without need to be provided with the familiar care at all times it is the principal wish of the majority of the young people lucenses with disability. The desire is similar to that of the persons of his age, but for whom they suffer a disability, be a physics or an intellectual, to make it real «always costs the double», as it gets rid of a study impelled recently by the Cermi (Spanish Committee of Persons' Representatives with Disability) and as there confirm groups who work in the province, as It Helps and Aspnais (Association of parents or persons' tutors with intellectual disability).

The labor opportunities, as well as the difficulties at the time of studying, gaining access to a housing or having economic independence change very much according to the type and of the disability grade, as stands out the manager of Aspnais, Manuel Fernández Santos. «A disabled physicist - he declares - prunes odd number ter so many difficulties there is unrolled na life as a disabled intellectual, that pole xeral needs máis apoio». Aspnais developed an existosa pilot experience in which several disabled intellectuals lived a few days in an apartment with a monitor.

For Aquiline González, vowel of architectural barriers of Auxilia, if a young man does not form the sufficient thing, will not find a qualified work and will not win enough to have major personal autonomy. In his opinion, «to reach this independence it is essential to study to have a level and to compete on the labor market». The report of the Cermi points out that only 9 % of the disabled ones studies university studies. «It is the young hake that bites the tail», he mentions Aquiline, that thinks that «there is missing the push, the decision not to remain alone with the secondary one». An excessive protectionism is one of the causes of this blockade, as it highlights Aspnais. «Or plantexamento two country é:" What vai to be do noso fillo or day that nós odd number esteamos?"; but to question it must be: "Are we preparing aos nosos fillos for or day of mañá?". And to resposta é that odd number», they add. Published in THE VOICE OF GALLICIA on March 14, 2010
