“Centro de Rendimiento Educativo Especial “RENACER” – CREER (Centre of Special Educational Performance “REBIRTH”)” is a center with the goal of contributing to the process of autonomy, family and social involvement of children with neurological disability.

CREER's main aims are:
- To develop an integral program of rehabilitation and education oriented to the cerebral reeducation of children and youths with cerebral paralysis, in order to let them strengthen their physical, intellectual, physiological and social skills and abilities.
- To create the association of parents of children with eurological paralysis in order to let them be co-managers of the organization and to be systematically trained in the process of reciprocal learning-teaching with the children.
- To bring awareness to the different social sectors about the commitment of the construction of the dignity for people with disabilities.

The project carries out different activities based on the Glenn Doman (of the Neurological Institute of Human Potential of Philadelphia) methodology of cerebral re-education.

The activities are divided into 4 main programs:
- Physical neurological growth: to stimulate mobility, balance and manual labor.
- Intellectual neurological growth
- Physiological neurological growth: to improve cerebral oxigenation
- Social neurological growth: to help the children understand that they can live a worthy life.

The volunteer could participate in any of the activities carried out at the center to achieve:
- the physical neurological growth
- the intellectual growth (with numbers, words, images, etc…)
- the physiological growth (amsk program and hydrotherapy)
- the social growth.
