Plena inclusión Extremadura

What Plena inclusión Extremadura does

Plena inclusión Extremadura is a regional non-profit federation headquartered in Mérida, Spain, founded in 1978 as part of the national Plena inclusión España network. It comprises 27 member entities and operates with 64 employees to promote the rights and social inclusion of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities across the Extremadura region. The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of programs covering the full life cycle of its beneficiaries, including employment orientation and placement (SOFIL, Empleo Personalizado), independent living (Mi Casa), active citizenship, women's rights and gender violence prevention, family support, mental health advocacy, sexuality education, aging support, volunteering, and digital transformation. Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The organization's core technical capability is its expertise in cognitive accessibility and Easy Reading (Lectura Fácil) content production, institutionalized through OACEX (Observatorio de Accesibilidad Cognitiva de Extremadura). This includes producing accessible publications on health, employment, law, civic participation, and occupational safety — notably adapting FREMAP's workplace safety manual for slaughterhouses and meat processing into Easy Reading format. It also operates a virtual training platform at aulavirtual.org and runs structured community engagement programs such as Comunidades de Experiencias Extremadura (7 geographic communities, 12–15 youth each) and the 'El Valor de la Diferencia' sensitization campaign delivered in schools, universities, and workplaces.

Plena inclusión Extremadura is funded entirely through public grants and institutional partnerships, with no commercial pricing model. Primary funders include SEPAD and SEXPE (Junta de Extremadura), the national Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad via 0.7% IRPF tax allocations, the European Social Fund, IMEX, and the Diputaciones de Badajoz and Cáceres. Distribution flows through the federated entity network, the virtual training platform, on-site campaign delivery, and institutional referral partners. Strategic partnerships span CERMI Extremadura, the Universidad de Extremadura, the Consejo de la Juventud and Instituto de la Juventud de Extremadura, ATESVEX, DGT, Fundación CB, and the national Plena inclusión España federation.
