Today is celebrated on International Disability Day, a special date to raise awareness among children and the elderly about the integration of people with disabilities.
The Atresmedia Foundation, in collaboration with Adecco Foundation and UPS, has published a new edition of its 'Tales for Integration' with two stories that tell the story of a boy and a girl with a disability.
'Pablo García police' tells the story of a child with achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that affects the growth of some bones in the body, while 'Aneta Poet' It is about a girl with difficulties to express herself due to her stuttering.
The twelve thousand books that have been published will reach children between 6 and 14 years old who are hospitalized and collaborators, associates and various associations of parents.
It is important to teach our children since they are little what a disability is, the types of disability that exist and what care people with disabilities need. I think the key is that they understand that we all have some kind of disability for certain things but we can be super trained for others. And above all, let them see that all people have something good to offer others.
This year, World Disability Day is celebrated under the motto 'Sustainable development: the promise of technology'. Technology has broken into our lives and not all people have access to it.
In Spain live around 3.8 million people with disabilities, whether physical, sensory, intellectual or caused by mental illness. About 140,000 are children.
