The student with cerebral palsy in Usurbil has succeeded: he will finally receive the necessary help

  • After a long and hard struggle, the student of Usurbil, with cerebral palsy and motor disability of 87%, got a full-time assistant for this course and told ARGIA that the whole family is "very happy". Last year the collaborator was assigned half a day (until then he had full time) and in hours without a companion it was not possible to advance.
"Hasieratik ikusi zuen alabak ezin zuela ikaskideen erritmoa jarraitu, atzean geratzen hasi zen, gero eta galduago, frustratuago".

"We told her daughter that we would not accept that she would suffer again what she had suffered last year; if she could not get the helper for all hours of class, it was over. But it's gone well and we're going to celebrate," explains María Enríquez, the student's mother. He acknowledges that the struggle has been long and hard, "but we have succeeded."

From the start of Vocational Training, the aid until then was halved to the Usurbil student. "From the beginning she saw that her daughter could not keep up with her peers, she started to stay behind, more and more lost, more frustrated... She has greatly affected her self-esteem, she has thought it is a burden and she has wanted to leave school, she has affected the relationships until isolation," Enríquez told us. This situation led students to go to psychological therapy.

They asked for the companion to go through all the activity, but it was denied by the Basque Government and the family resorted to ARGIA and other media to press. STEILAS denounced the situation, the mayor of Usurbil asked the Minister of Education to give the necessary assistance to the student, and EH Bildu brought the matter to the Basque Parliament, the counselor Jokin Bildarratz had to answer several questions.

"We told her daughter that we would not accept that she would suffer again what she had suffered last year; if she could not get the helper for all hours of class, it was over. But it's gone well and we'll celebrate it."

And in the end they have achieved it, the student of Usurbil will be able to continue studying, but the question remains in the air: What if I hadn't fought? If the case had not had an impact? Agurtzane Solabarrieta, Mayor of Usurbil, said: "What should reflection give us, because whoever wrestles and makes noise can get what it deserves, but what else? How many faded and blinded along the way? Mary not only fights for her daughter, she's for everyone, and it's sad that the family has to ask her for a right."
