La mercantilización de tus necesidades de apoyo: su negocio
No es baladí la reacción de quienes defienden, desde el Movimiento de Vida Independiente, la necesidad de autogestión del apoyo de Asistencia Personal y del reconocimiento a la labor profesional de este -casi obligadamente- precarizado sector, destacando el peligro que supone aceptar la tecnificación del puesto para su desempeño, a través de programas formativos que...

“Gender and Functional Diversity: An Independent Living Approach”
Las mujeres que funcionamos diferente a lo establecido socio-normativamente hemos sido históricamente invisibles y obviadas. En primer lugar, porque no hemos estado presentes en la esfera relativa a las mujeres, porque no se nos ha considerado deseables ni capaces de procrear y mucho menos de cuidar a otros ni a nosotras mismas, de modo que...

“Personal Assistance, a User Perspectives”
La Asistencia Personal cambia la vida de las personas con diversidad funcional que tienen necesidades de apoyo para algunas –o casi todas– sus actividades cotidianas. Cada persona requiere de apoyos diferentes y de intensidades desiguales, lo que determinará la cantidad de horas de Asistencia Personal que se le deben asignar, con evaluación individual. No sirve...
