About the webinar
Speaker: Olga Corral, Advisor on accessibility, education and training at FIAPAS, Spain.
Topic: On 2024 World Children’s Day, this breakfast byte webinar will put the spotlight on supports to families with hearing disabilities, starting with a deep dive into a programme developed by FIAPAS (COFACE Disability member) in 1998. FIAPAS have a network of more than thirty Family Care and Support Services across Spain which are coordinated by professionals specialised in hearing disabilities and family support. They work closely with volunteers parents.
FIAPAS carries out the planning, coordination and monitoring of the actions and results of the network at national level to ensure that people with hearing disabilities and their families have information, guidance and support throughout the life cycle. Tools include a national internal communication platform, trainings, and coordinated actions in relation to the health, educational and social needs of families.
Additionally, through the analysis of the Network’s care data, FIAPAS uses this key data to guide social transformation and inclusion.
Join the conversation to learn more about this network in Spain and also to share your own practices and positions on family supports.
