The Ombudsman, Soledad Becerril, visited this Wednesday the Comprehensive Center for Disability Care that Envera has in the town of Colmenar Viejo, Madrid. Upon her arrival, the Ombudsman was received by José Antonio Quintero, President of Envera, and Marta Muñoz, head of the Tutelar Foundation.
Soledad Becerril has been very interested in the work done by employees with intellectual disabilities Special Employment Center, who explained the tasks they perform in document management, laundry and handling.
The beneficiaries of Envera's assistance services have shared their activities with the Ombudsman, who has also been able to learn about the work of the professionals of the Residence for people over 45 years old with intellectual disabilities, the Day Center for severely affected people and the Occupational Center. In the latter Soledad Becerril has participated in a special program of Radio Terrícola, workshop conducted by people with intellectual disabilities.
