The Aula Docent of Fundació Aspace Catalunya
Aula Docent is the teaching initiative of Fundació Aspace Catalunya. The Teaching Committee drives internal and external training, develops and structures specialised knowledge and disseminates it to improve the quality of care and education for people with complex neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.
Over 60 years of experience
Alongside people with complex neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities
Expert knowledge, committed outreach
The Teaching Committee is part of the Strategic Plan of Fundació Aspace Catalunya. It develops, structures and disseminates the specialised knowledge built up over more than sixty years of caring for people with complex neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities, and turns it into training that is useful for daily practice.
Our commitment to sharing knowledge is essential to building a better-informed and more empathetic understanding of these conditions, working towards a more inclusive and equal environment for everyone.
- Internal and external training coordinated by the Foundation
- Leading clinical teams in complex neurodevelopmental disorders, cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities
- In-person and online formats, with practical activities
