ACIERTA2

New Technologies for Autonomous Life and Communication of People with Autism.

The main tool developed within the framework of the ACIERTA2 project is the portal 'www.supportiveeyes.com'. Within this project the autism group collaborates with the company TISSAT, in charge of the coordination tasks. The aforementioned portal gives support to the different work strategies ‘focused on the person’. The Focussed Planning on the Person (called PCP) is a new way of understanding and working with people with disabilities. As the term clearly indicates, it consists of orientating the education efforts on the person and adapting the intervention programmes to the individual needs of the person with the disability. The development of this portal is being financed by IMSERSO (Ministry of Employment and Social Affairs) and by the >Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.
