Structured teaching, a key in the intervention with people with ASD. Basics and digital support tools.

Based on knowledge of the characteristics of autism, and individual evaluation, something distinctive about the TEACCH program is that it places special emphasis on fostering their interests and skills, trying to promote the greater possibility of the autonomy of the person with ASD and facilitate their inclusion in all community areas.

'Vamping': the sleep thief

Between 20 and 48% of the adult population, and at least 20% of the infant population, suffer from some form of sleep related problem.

In this webinar, neurologist Angela Milan will address the health consequences of this on children (some you couldn't even imagine) and give us some advice on how to prevent them from doing it.

Tiktokers are increasing, and they appear to have been reproducing during confinement, so the data says.

Educar la mirada (Educate the way we see): critical thinking and screens

At what age would you allow your child to swim in a swimming pool on his own? Could you guess? No, because the answer has nothing to do with age. The answer is: when he can swim. The same is the case for the first mobile phone. What's the right age? There isn´t one. The answer should be: when my child is ready to surf the Internet alone. And for this as parents we play a fundamental role. Among many other things, our mission is to educate how they look at things. If not, they will access the virtual world thinking that it is real, their self-esteem will be heavily affected, getting frustrated, seeing as ideal people who are not real... The philosopher and author of the book 'El arte de pensar' ('The Art of Thinking') José Carlos Ruiz will help parents reflect on this issue and gradually educate their children's vision so that when they access the virtual world they will have the critical thinking process OFF switch activated (as he calls it) and know how to differentiate between what the real world is and what the virtual world is.

Webinar: Keys to approaching sex education with your children

Children who have access to technological devices are getting even younger which has meant that among the information they can receive may also include pornography. Which produces data as chilling as: 10% of internet porn consumers are under the age of 10. Furthermore, according to Pornhub, the world's largest pornography website, pornographic content during the first few weeks of confinement consumption increased by 61.3% in Spain. Faced with this picture, many experts warn that if we do not offer early sex education from homes, schools... our children will be educated by pornography, with the consequences. We will talk about this subject to the sexologist Lara Avargues, who will give us guidelines on how to address this issue with our children.
