The councilors for Parks and Gardens and Social Services, Isabel Berná and José Antonio Berná, highlighted that this initiative reinforces the municipal commitment to inclusion and the right of all children to enjoy public spaces under equal conditions.
The new panels feature clear information, easy reading, and visual elements using ARASAAC pictograms. The aim is to make the space more welcoming and safe, catering to different cognitive and sensory needs, particularly for minors with autism.
“"Albatera must be a fully inclusive environment, where every child, regardless of their abilities, can orient themselves, understand the space, and enjoy it autonomously."
José Antonio Berná explained that this project is part of a broader strategy to make Albatera a more accessible town, with a special focus on children. The City Council will continue to implement new measures to promote universal accessibility across all neighborhoods and public spaces.
The installation of the seven panels, one in each children's playground, was made possible through a grant from the Generalitat Valenciana, via the Ministry of Social Services, Family, and Childhood, along with the City Council's own funds.
