Aspace Bizkaia

What Aspace Bizkaia does

Aspace Bizkaia is a non-profit association founded in 1978 and headquartered in Bizkaia, Spain, dedicated to providing comprehensive services for people with cerebral palsy and their families across the full lifecycle. The organization operates an integrated ecosystem of specialized facilities, including Atención Temprana (early intervention), a Private Special Education School (C.P.E.E.), Day Care Centers (C.A.D.), Occupational Centers, a Special Employment Center (Aspacelan), residential services, and leisure programs with adapted transportation. Its subsidiary Aspacelan provides productive employment opportunities for people with disabilities, and the organization publishes Geurea, its own informational magazine.

The organization employs 93 people and is governed by a Board of Directors with Edurne Candelas as President. Its technology footprint is limited to specialized assistive equipment and rehabilitation resources funded through public grants, with no disclosed software, AI, or digital platform components. Distribution is exclusively direct through physical facilities across the Bizkaia region; the organization does not operate outside the Basque Country.

Aspace Bizkaia's revenue model is characteristic of a Spanish non-profit association declared of Public Utility: it combines annual membership fees from families, recurring government subsidies from Basque public administrations for social and healthcare services, project-based grants, and donations from foundations and platforms such as Fundación Carlo Grosso and Migranodearena. Service pricing is not publicly disclosed, as services are funded primarily through public subsidies and private contributions rather than direct user fees.
