Advice for Coordinators of Centralised Socrates Projects. 2 nd edition: For projects of selection round 1-3-2001 and later In terms of promotion of equal opportunities for disabled persons SCATE, the project contributes thanks to its approach to the problem and to specific activities dedicated to this aspect. Scate started from the principle of not excluding anyone on the basis of ethnic, gender, disability or social disadvantage biases. A series of specific measures have been put into operation to avoid such occurrences With reference to WHO indications, we can state that the project created a "favourable environment" (ICF WHO 2001). In doing this, the Partners were supported by two associations: C.E.R.P.A. ITALIA "Centro Europeo di Ricerca e Promozione dell'Accessibilità ITALIA's main purpose is to contribute, through the joint activity of its members, to the promotion of a better quality of life, a higher degree of urban-building accessibility and usability for all individuals of all social categories, paying particular attention to those categories considered to be weaker. C.E.R.P.A. carries out promotional activities; it elaborates strategies to increase cultural awareness of the problems linked to mobility, accessibility and usability of the environment; it studies and applies new technologies that may lead to high quality planning and realization in the architectural, urban and object sectors. ALIAS is a NGO focused on persons with aphasia. Aphasia is a language disorder that occurs in adults following a focal brain damage which involves the language-dominant cerebral hemisphere. Individuals who previously were communicating and understanding others' communication through speech, sign, reading and writing, suddenly find themselves unable or limited in their ability to participate in communicative activity of the social life. ALIAS is made by a group of persons interested in providing supports for people with aphasia beyond traditional rehabilitation ALIAS website has a section fully accessible to persons with aphasia, a unique feature which inspired the SCATE partners to promote this idea widely. |
