Adeje council, in conjunction with the IASS , the Insular Institute for Social and Socio-sanitary Attention, are introducing a new programme to the Asociación San Juan, the centre for paediatric care and social therapy for people in need. The programme, La Espiral, will work to offer opportunities and aid to those with special care requirements from an integrated point of view, which will bring together care, overseeing development, education and learning, as well as aiding in therapy intervention and the evolution of the individual’s social and cultural life.
In this regard, councillor José Antonio López Delgado said, during a visit to the association’s centre, that “this programme, backed up by a collaboration agreement between the relevant administrations, will allow the Asociación San Juan continue with their sustainability work in progress, which benefits individuals but also society in general, and allows for the possibility of building a better present and future for all”.
The programme is adapted for all inclusive groups, infants, growing children, adolescents and adults, with and without special needs. Among the activities included are fine art, Bothmer gymnastics, dramatic art, music, singing, folklore, physiotherapy, etc. There will be open-air activities, which will be held in the association’s farm and orchards.
