Flight Simulation for Students from the Ann Sullivan Center with the Support of Delta Air Lines

The past Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30 October 2014, a flight simulation transporting students of CASP to the City of Orlando, was carried out.  The objective of this activity was to get students taking part in the simulation could learn the flight sequence in a plane so they can be prepared for this flying experience.

The implementation of this novel initiative was carried out at CASP facilities, where a special place was set up so that it can be a check-in counter, immigration office and a plane having crew, flight attendants, seats, aisles and a jet bridge.

People with different abilities are now more visible than ever. They have the same rights as other people to enjoy an exciting flight experience.  This activity gives them the opportunity to learn how to provide their personal data, pack their belongings, and interact with the crew and other passengers.

We invite you to watch this new report on Channel N.

CASP making a difference in Peru and in the world for 35 years

On August 20th, the Centro Ann Sullivan del Peru (CASP) celebrated 35 years of fruitful institutional life, fully dedicated to providing high-quality education to people with different abilities (autism, mental retardation, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other cognitive limitations) and their families, so that they can become independent, productive, and happy people in our society.

The results obtained throughout our institution’s history fill us with great satisfaction, because we have contributed directly to the development of Peru and because we have been considered as a model research, demonstration and educational center for other national and international organizations with which we share the desire to highlight the talent of people with different abilities.

35 years ago CASP committed itself to giving a chance to people with different abilities and working for them, so they can be included in all aspects of life like anyone else by raising their quality of life and promoting development and policy change in order to transform our country. Currently it serves over 450 students and families, 100 of which are working in real jobs, and another 70 are included in regular schools.

It is also important to note that the government of Panama adopted the Peruvian model to create the Centro Ann Sullivan de Panama (CASPAN); and that over 25,000 parents and professionals from 24 departments of Peru and 15 countries from Latin America and Europe benefit from the online long-distance education system that CASP has used to make a difference in the lives of people with different abilities and their families since 2008.
