Extanding Social Educators Competences

In the last decades, in response to the large numbers of children with conduct disorders and the shortage of professional personnel, there has been an increasing emphasis on training parents as therapists for their own children. Parents who have children with disabilities are often reported to have physical and psychological distress related to caring for their children. Children with behavioral disabilities may manifest a wide range of difficulties in social adjustment and/or social communication and social relationships.

Susanne Dobner, a Community Story from Austria

With the initiative Take a Seat we draw attention to the importance of public seating facilities. People are having to wait longer outside of shops due to the restrictions on the number of people allowed inside at any one time, which makes mobile seating facilities for people with mobility impairments ever more important.
