During the first half of September, the teaching staff of the UP has been receiving training and planning the start of the new academic year. Today's session focused on acquiring tools to achieve more inclusive education.
Councilwomen Silvia Marín, head of the UP, and Mª Francisca Alarcón, head of Social Inclusion, announced this initiative. Both explained that the goal is to learn how to adequately support and attend to minors with functional diversity.
“"The objective is to foster more inclusive environments, learning to adapt activities, communication, and spaces to the capabilities and needs of each person, respecting their pace, autonomy, and different forms of participation."
The training aims to remove barriers, provide necessary support, and ensure that all children can participate and enjoy activities with equal opportunities.
To ensure professional learning, the voluntary collaboration of pediatric occupational therapist Elena Gómez, a specialist in Early Intervention and Sensory Integration, and psychologist Maruxela Moreno, from the municipal Social Inclusion department, was secured.
“"With this action, UP Mijas and the Department of Social Inclusion reinforce their commitment to more accessible, inclusive, and diversity-respecting education."
