In 2015, the European Commission has proposed a digital agenda which is one of the seven pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy, which sets targets for a growth in the European Union from 2015 to 2020.
Thus, it is intended to exploit the benefits associated with information technology and communication to strengthen the efficiency and dynamism of the European Administration.
Currently ICT are at the heart of the European strategy for growth and employment, as well as being a priority for the European funding in the coming years.
ICT is an opportunity for people with disabilities, so the challenge of achieving the greatest possible accessibility and compatibility with assistive technologies arises. Little by little it is demonstrating that technology brings many benefits, advantages and new job opportunities, training and entertainment.
In 2002 at the European Conference on New Technologies and Disability he stated the importance of ICT as an opportunity to improve the integration of people with disabilities. But only now beginning to develop
learning technologies in people with Acquired Brain Injury.
ATECEA after a long deployment in developing ICT Project and cognitive stimulation has allowed retrain various cognitive abilities, although in the case of people with Acquired Brain Injury, access to new technologies is still complex because although every day is more intuitive handling, sequelae with higher incidence in DCA are not fully compatible with the vast amount of information available in an instant as well as its processing and use.
Objective:
Increase the autonomy of people with Acquired Brain Injury through technology and exploration interests.
Lines:
1. ICT (Information and Communications Technology): New technologies and multimedia resources will be used as tools for the rehabilitation and reintegration of our patients, providing solutions to many problems or needs that small daily basis.
ICT ATECEA The program consists of four lines of action: Neuron Up Program, FACILI-T program, computer classes and WI.
Neuron Up: Web Platform offered by FEDACE our Association, which is a great support for consolidating work sessions neuropsychology. Quantitative results automatically records all activities performed on your computer.
Facili-T: An application that allows users to manage their activities in a standardized manner. This be a personal tool as a therapeutic tool that allows gradually reduce aid and giving autonomy to patients from several points of view. This platform is developed by the Vodafone Foundation.
Computer Training: individualize and group sessions where a basic level of information, which is necessary for our user acquires center. For example, the Microsoft package (excel, Word, Power Point), Internet search ... etc.
WI: Group sessions where patients thanks to the Wi console improve their motor skills, motor and attention. It works with interesting games from the point of view rehabilitator.
2. Orientation to reality: Group formed by the younger users of the center, where two complementary activities are executed. First, a brainstorming was done to find topics of interest in the group, always related to the general culture.
Second, a plan is set to visit places in the city of Zaragoza they want to make, always being sociocultural outputs.
3. Stimulation in the group of high-dependency: Set of physical, cognitive and motor activities to encourage people with severe involvement. These activities are always carried out in the same time facilitating orientation.
How it fits into the program:
The activities of the volunteers are developed for continuous learning exists at two levels, personal and professional. A personal and social level and that in trying to daily with disabilities who need a third person to a large part of their activities of daily living, must promote the values of solidarity, tolerance, understanding, social cohesion.
Professionally, to be free to develop their own activities with patients (as advised professional) increase their teamwork, creativity, initiative programming, intercultural awareness by having to prepare sessions with objectives of the activity, weather estimated needs of each.
For all this we will have a European Voluntary participant.
