Hi, I know I've been slow to write. I now turn to blog but just for a moment, brief, had to do it because they wanted you to stay without reading the report on discrimination to people with intellectual disabilities, a disability is rarely discussed and reported.
I hope I can read it and share your opinions, ideas and thoughts on this topic. Back in a couple of days to feed the space with the other notes.
Here is the link,

---- A whole morning playing new clothes, and out of testers, looking in the mirror to the end did not buy anything. "I look silly, but I went to try clothes because they had more than 10 years did not. I had to buy a score, because the locker room are very narrow and could not get in there and let Fer outside, "says Yolanda, mother of Fernando, who finally had a day to her.
stopped being only the caregiver, the nanny or nurse. Fernando has an intellectual disability and maternal loop was released a few hours and was discovered independently. That was the day he joined the Foundation for Special Education Support (FAEE), so far, the only place for young people with intellectual disabilities in Guadalajara.
That she has not cut the umbilical cord was simply because there were no spaces for people with intellectual disabilities and your child over 16 years of age.
After a medical negligence (because they would not do cesarean), she plunged into the world of disability, he realized that not only sticks, wheelchairs and prostheses and the population is consistently ignored with this disability. "We are the disadvantaged among the disadvantaged, because intellectual disabilities seem to be invisible ... no support for them."
The problem of not including people with intellectual disabilities lies mainly in the confusion of concepts. It is not clear what is and is believed to be the only such disability is Down syndrome, when the spectrum is broader.
clarify the subject
Juan Medina, coordinator of the Commission for the Integral Development of Persons with Disabilities in the DIF Jalisco, clarifies the concept: "We see the person, but did not see a disability. However, its reasoning process is slower. We have more patience with them. Is a disability that we do not count, because they bring a wheelchair or hearing aid, but when they see a message, do not understand. " Details
this expert on disability, which for many would be simple: if you go to a restaurant outside the bathroom and see a moon and sun, most know the men's room and women. For a person with intellectual disabilities is a difficult problem to solve.
Secretary of the State Council for the Care of Persons with Disabilities, Hector Figueroa, emphasizes that intellectual disability is a "low IQ, ie a low intellectual level ", although this concept is a debate among psychologists and therapists.
it is necessary to distinguish between intellectual disability and mental disability, to assist properly in each population. The first has to do with the level of intelligence, while the disabilities are disorders such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, among others. This distinction is rarely respected and there are people with intellectual disability admitted to psychiatric hospitals.
In particular, intellectual disability means a disability in various aspects of life. Prevents and obstructs the socialization, communication and independence of the individual. "There are degrees. It can be mild, moderate or deep. There are genetic causes. Others present during pregnancy or birth. It is common for mothers receive timely care and lack of oxygen to the baby, dying neurons, causing mental retardation, "said Juan Medina. Care and attention
How many people live with intellectual disabilities in Jalisco? The data are imprecise. Even INEGI statistics are unreliable, recognizes the secretary of the State Council for the Care of Persons with Disabilities in Jalisco, Hector Figueroa.
To this is added to the population and housing census, INEGI 2000, misclassified intellectual disability. Included in the same the mental disability, ie body does not distinguish mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
Despite not knowing exactly how many people live in this condition, the tangible is their precarious situation. There are no specialized programs for their care, or in areas of special attention of the Ministry of Education.
Emma Gonzalez, an expert in the promotion and defense of human rights of persons with disabilities and a member of the Association for Education and Skills, says that people with intellectual disabilities forgetfulness and neglect faced by the state and society. "His condition immediately excludes them from society, to think it can not do many things. There are pejorative adjectives, such as thinking they are fools. "
In Durango law continues to regard "a state of imbecility, which is a really serious situation, because it contributes to social cohesion," laments the specialist.
to official events in people with these characteristics are doubly segregated. Guadalupe Arreola, director of the FAEE, has ever told a disability event "is that they do not bring a wheelchair, why they want help."
Yolanda Ramírez Pulido, with 19 years experience as a mother of Fernando, he knows very well, and also is promoting the human rights of this population.
One of the most vulnerable situations that people with intellectual disabilities is that their physical appearance does not match the age and behavior, such as Fernando is 19 years old and his intellectual age is the same as a two.
multiple care centers, by the Ministry of Education, serving up to 16 years (if the damage is minor you can stay two more years), then there is nothing more that the State offered to this population although the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that Mexico has signed and ratified, says that as Croatia should ensure the health and education rights of all people with disabilities.
in 1998 improved this situation, because it opened the doors of the Foundation for Support of Special Education, which caters exclusively to young people and adults with this disability.
The teacher Graciela Rivera Serrano describes the challenges of their students, ranging from properly take a glass of water, without departing from the contour drawing, tying ribbons, to learn to eat neatly. In short, be independent.
proper stimulation is not utopia, said Guadalupe Arreola, director of FAEE. The main achievement is called Marcela, who has a mild intellectual disability now serving alongside his fellow teachers. She takes the truck and get one to work. Drivers not seeing any physical alteration believe they have a disability and who should not use Transvaal. So wearing a badge that identifies it.
The school makes its own. However, the greater is the social discrimination. Yolanda does not get used to the looks morbid mothers move their children to play with them Fer. There is a culture of disability.
experts say is necessary to treat a person with intellectual disabilities as the rest of the people. They insist that the idea should be removed from the "eternal child" (eg, talking chique). Emma Erika González
clarifies that it is necessary to "skip qualifying and eliminating ideas that are crazy or aggressive." States that "a person with intellectual disability has decreased, but understands what one says, are not children, are not fools." Yolanda
expect others to understand that people with intellectual disabilities can learn, as she did with her son. "I've done things I never thought if he had not been born. Had never been an activist. " She and Fer were key to the development of state law for the care of Persons with Disabilities adopted in 2009.
