Unicaja Foundation and Amirax join forces to promote cognitive stimulation in individuals with intellectual disabilities

The Unicaja Foundation has joined forces with the Amirax Association to enhance the quality of life of individuals with intellectual disabilities through a cognitive stimulation project implemented by the social entity at its day center and occupational center in Rincón de la Victoria.

Ana Cabrera, head of Solidarity and Research at the Unicaja Foundation, visited the association's facilities alongside the president of Amirax, Mª Ángeles Rodríguez, to firsthand understand the project.

This specific cognitive stimulation program aims to prevent premature aging and increase the level of autonomy of individuals with intellectual disabilities using manipulative and computer tools. About thirty users participate in this project, which aims to improve executive functions, memory, attention, and motor skills, and is carried out at their day center and occupational day center.

Support for this initiative reflects the Unicaja Foundation's interest in promoting projects that enhance the quality of life, well-being, and integration of groups with special needs and their families.
