About the Project

The primary objective of this center is to enable students to achieve the learning objectives of each educational stage according to their individual capabilities. By following pathways similar to regular schools, the center aims to promote greater equality of opportunity, ultimately helping students secure employment or pursue a career.

The center addresses specific issues in various areas, including:

• Phonetic
• Psychological
• Psycho-pedagogical
• Physiotherapeutic

It specifically works with two mental areas:

• Mental Handicap: Mornings (8:00 am to 12:30 pm) cater to mentally handicapped students from 6 to 8 years old, across three levels.
• Learning Problems: Afternoons (2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) are for students aged 6 to 17 with learning difficulties.

Practical Workshops: Consipe also works with children who have severe sensory perception challenges affecting daily activities. These children receive treatment in separate divisions, focusing on:

• Recycling Paper: Training in technical work.
• Ceramic Painting & Clay: Training in technical work.

These two sections are exclusively dedicated to developing the technical and manual skills of students.
