Smart Parade to help the CADIN - Innovative Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities.

Enjoy it !

They walk to cheer the streets of the country but the objective goes more far than this. They are 60 Smart automobiles decorated by artists invited, who can see themselves until day 17 of June in the Terreiro do Paço, in Lisbon. In this date, they will parade by the capital. Later they follow for a national tour and, in October, part of the cars is auctionzed and another part integrates the fleet to rent-a-car of the Smart Advertising. The money collected revert to Innovative Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities - CADIN

CADIN - An Innovative Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities
Children with developmental disorders and their families need comprehensive assessment and intervention.
A non-for profit institution, privately funded, with the goal of providing the best clinical care, teaching and research in the field of developmental disabilities was created in Cascais, Portugal in 2003.
Private funds constitute the “social fund”, and were raised to allow access of low-income families to the Centre.
Aim: to create a Centre of excellence, where the needs of children, adolescent and adults with developmental disabilities are met.
CADIn (Centre for Support of Child Development)
has a staff of more than 40 special education teachers, psychologists, speech, physical and occupational therapists as well as child and adult psychiatrists, paediatricians and child neurologists.
Specialized groups in attention deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorders, specific learning disabilities, family therapy and support, and job training and integration were created.
Multiple conferences are held annually, both at the Centre premises and schools, and research projects were developed.
Affiliation with major universities was pursued.
More than 5000 families have been under our care, with about 1500 new patients each year.
1/3 of the patients receive financial support from the social fund.
In three years CADIn has gained a national reputation, and its members are frequently invited to train/inform the general public, as well as other professionals in the field, on the issues of their expertise.
Born as a Project in 2003, CADIn today proves that it is possible to gather a number of private corporations and financial institutions to create and support the foundation and running costs of a highly sophisticated child development centre, that does not discriminate children from low social or economic background.

Olá aires

obrigada pela tua visita que me levou a espreitar a tua página.

Terei que ainda ver melhor. è que esta tua foto está fabulosa e tem uma curiosidade estivemos os dois neste sitio. Estava espectacular. esta praça é um luxo que começa agora a ser aproveitado. Esqueci-me da máquina pensei eu, afinal salvaste o acontecimento. Obrigada. A fotografia tem o brilho da praça e do evento.

um abraço amigo

Hello Aires,
I would not mind driving this car to conserve fuel and gas. But I must admit it would take getting used to it. Very attractive presentation against Lisbon historical buildings. Best regards, Danilo

Hello Aires,
Those cars look cute and nice.
Good details and colors in this photo. TFS
