Aspadir

What Aspadir does

Aspadir is a non-profit association (Asociación, CIF G80239718) founded in 1990 in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Madrid, by parents and family members of people with disabilities. The organization operates five interconnected service centers from its headquarters at Avenida de la Integración 1: the Servicio Integral de Rehabilitación (SIR) for comprehensive therapies (physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy, occupational therapy, psychopedagogical support); the Centro Ocupacional COFOIL for vocational training and labor insertion; the Centro Especial de Empleo (CEE), a sheltered workshop where more than 75% of workers have intellectual disabilities; the Centro de Atención Temprana (CAT) for early intervention in children aged 0–6 (with a Snoezelen multisensory room); and the Servicio de Información y Orientación (SIO), a free guidance service subsidized by the Comunidad de Madrid. Supplementary associative activities include aquatic therapy delivered in collaboration with the municipal sports department, an inclusive dance program directed by artist Antonio Quiles, adapted golf with the Federación de Golf de Madrid, and a leisure and free time program.

The association serves people with intellectual, physical, and sensory disabilities across the lifespan as well as their families, with no proprietary technology platform—service delivery is built on clinical and therapeutic expertise rather than software. ASPADIR holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, complies with GDPR and LOPDyGDD, and has implemented organizational security measures under a designated Data Protection Officer.

Aspadir's revenue model is grant- and contribution-based rather than commercial: primary funding comes from public subsidies from the Comunidad de Madrid (explicitly so for SIO), Next Generation EU program funding, recurring member quotas, and event sponsorship from commercial partners such as FNAC España, Coca-Cola España, and McDonald's supporting the annual XXVIII Carrera ASPADIR inclusion race. Go-to-market is community-led: families are acquired through local networks, the free SIO service as an inbound channel, coordination with public services (social services, schools, healthcare), and annual community events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; therapy services require direct contact, while the SIO service is free and accessible without membership.
