Go shopping and cook a dish of pasta, drive a car and wear a suit, play sports and play an instrument.
The daily life of a person with a disability illustrated and explained by another person with a disability: it’s called Invidi-abilied is the name of the project created by Marco Medugnophysiotherapist of the ASL Roma 3 working for the CPO of Ostia and from Roberto PergolatoVice President of the Ostia Spine Injury Association, and which will be carried out thanks to the Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Service of the Viale Vega 3 facility.
The “Gennaro Di Rosa” Paraplegic Center of the ASL Roma 3, for years a point of reference for people with disabilities and their families, is a structure of excellence in the rehabilitation sector and in particular in the care and management of complex and of high specialty.
“Contribute to improving the outcomes of the rehabilitation process of patients treated at the Paraplegic Center of Ostia and facilitate the management of the daily life of people with disabilities.
These are the main objectives of our initiative.
With Invidi-abili we will use health education strategies, with a view to an approach peer to peer with the aim of transferring knowledge and skills between people with disabilities and to do so also to caregivers.
Techniques and teachings that the rehabilitation staff already impart to patients, but the news is that in this initiative the teachers will not be just us.
We will create, thanks also to the availability of the members of the Ostia Spine Injured Association, real multimedia lessons: videos, images and information material that can be easily used to allow patients in the care of the CPO a better integration between the care setting and above all to facilitate assistance and return to one’s home”, he explains Marco Medugnophysiotherapist of the ASL Roma 3.
“The recipients of the project will therefore be patients undergoing hospitalization at the CPO, but also people who have already been discharged and who are followed by the centre.
The contents resulting from our work will also be available to caregivers and all interested citizens.
Sharing our skills is not just an act of solidarity, but it is the most effective tool we have to understand how to face everyday life simply and without fear,” he adds. Roberto PergolatoVice President of the Ostia Spine Injured Association.
“In addition to the staff already involved and who in fact follows the patients of the CPO every day with professionalism and care, the company will also make our social networks available to convey to a larger number of users the precious information contained in the videos and material which will be developed during the initiative”, he concludes Francesca MilitoGeneral Director of ASL Roma 3.
