The ASPAYM Castilla y León Foundation began operating in 2004, twelve years after ASPAYM was founded in the region of Castilla y León, Spain.

Its main objectives are to promote autonomy, equal rights and opportunities and improve the quality of life of people with physical disabilities, allowing them a meaningful integration into society. In addition, ASPAYM CyL seeks to be a leading association, providing its target users with the tools to achieve that mission. This goal is achieved through the quality of its programs and activities, research and the appropriate use of new technologies.

ASPAYM CyL has a youth department focused on activities with young people. This department is an active member of the Regional Regional Youth Council of CyL, and it is also a member of the Permanent Youth Council of the Province of Valladolid. We are also part of the network of youth information points in the province of Valladolid, which makes ASPAYM the only youth organization with the diversity level that complies with all of the above.

The youth department of ASPAYM CyL develops a multitude of activities (advocacy, non-formal education, employment), as well as years of experience and multiple awards. Also the awareness project “Ponte en mis zapatos” (Put yourself in my shoes) is developed, whose main objective is the standardization of disability in schools, community centers, youth organizations, etc. In recent years, the organization has been committed to the use of gamification as a methodology in non-formal education activities. In this sense, ASPAYM CyL has developed board games, video games, escape rooms and manuals based on this technique to work with youngsters, always from an inclusive perspective in order to ensure equal access of young people with disabilities to all available resources.

In addition, within ASPAYM we have a project called JAVACOYA, which was born with the pretension of providing a personalized service to our clients and overcoming the daily challenges set by the market. In addition, it offers a wide range of resources, all of them oriented to optimize and profit, with complete adaptation to your needs, such as accessible website design, web updating or development of custom software.
