Technical aid or support products are among the most important factors in terms of human development for disabled and elderly persons. The objective is to mitigate or compensate for limitations when performing various activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, personal hygiene, mobility for the bedridden, play and leisure time, productivity and work activities as well as improving independence and quality of life.

Due to a lack of knowledge of the different support elements available and their high cost in most cases, access is difficult since the people in need belong to the most vulnerable sectors of the population.

The Mutual Association for the Protection of the Family (Asociación Mutual de Protección Familiar – AMPF), in line with the Empowerment of Civil Society Organizations program (Fortalecimiento de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires - CABA), shares its “education and training programs to develop low-cost support elements” which are run by its professionals and are aimed at family and home caregivers, therapy assistants and occupational therapy students.
