CENTRO ESPECIALIZADO PARA PERSONAS CON SÍNDROME DE DOWN EN GUAYAQUIL, ECUADOR

Abstract

Statistics show an increase in the numbers of children born in Ecuador with Down Syndrome compared to the numbers around the world. Being the same as a reduction within the population, we must not leave aside the special needs that these people have, especially at the beginning of their lives. People with these conditions require many medical treatments and therapies in order to develop as individuals. Despite having their own limitations, they are worthy of a good life and opportunities in life. Today inclusion is one of the most talked about topics in the world, which is why it is important to integrate the different disabilities that exist within society. The following work has the purpose of proposing a draft that deals with a special care center for people with Down Syndrome in the city of Guayaquil. The objective is to comply with an architectural design of accessible support spaces for the treatments and basic needs that people with this intellectual disability require, so that they can develop in the correct way with the help of specialists, and in the same way integrate them and make them feel part of the community.
