The National Disability Agency (Andis) It crosses an institutional, administrative and human crisis that affects directly on the lives of those who most need their services. Intervened by the Executive Power with the doctor Alejandro Vilches after the scandal for the filtration of the alleged coimas audios, and now with the official designation of Gianfranco Scigliano As an executive deputy director, the agency accumulates complaints of dentalities, irregularities and measures that left thousands of children without school accompaniment or essential therapies.
The background is a political scandal: audios attributed to the former holder of the agency, Diego Spagnuolocommit to Karina MileI in alleged illegal maneuvers and orders of coimas. However, beyond internal ones, what shudders is the direct impact on families. According to dataclave figures, Some 1,700 have already lost the therapeutic accompaniment of their children, and another 3,500 could face the same situationafter the payment of payments and the restructuring imposed by the Andis. Therefore, therapeutic educational centers closed their doors due to lack of categorization, and audits, instead of guaranteeing the efficiency of care, became a machinery that suspends services for bureaucratic details such as expired Matafuegos, broken timbres and digital files instead of physicists.
Roxana, mother of Iván, a child with autism level 3tell his desolation with rawness: “The policy of this government made me relive the anguish of when my son’s disability confirmed. Of course I did not want them to give me their certificate because it was to recognize their disability, but I knew that if they did not give it to me, it was going to be impossible to assume their medical expenses, of psychologist and school companion. And now, for two months, the educational center to which he was lost his categorization, I had to stop going to work to be by his side, but I don’t know how long I can be licensed. His assistance was a fragile but indispensable card castle for his health, which he took care of as gold and now collapsed. The only thing I ask is to prioritize human beings over all stationerío and economic balances. ”
Beatriz, mother of Luana, who suffers from ADHD, also loads with uncertainty: “My daughter went to a special school, but there was a change in management, they reduced personnel for budget cuts and could no longer address their problem. We started looking that they could not even bill for the boys who already attended and that, if they continued, they were going to have to close.
Chain of activities. From the Argentine Chamber of Support Services for Educational Inclusion (Casaie)its president Elizabeth Foschi explains to news the importance of these instances: “A SAI is a service to support the educational inclusion that is provided from an interdisciplinary team. Managers, psychologists, psychopedagogues, special education teachers and social workers participate. This is called basic technical team. In turn, there is a support professional who attends the educational institution to provide the student with direct support in the school environment. It is important to highlight that the SAIe are National disability to carry out this task.
Another acute case is that of Gonzalo, 48 -year -old fatherwith the gaze of an injured and tired man. His son follows him by his hand and although he seems that he is listening to music, his headphones separate him from a world that affects him in his hypersensitivity. What for a DJ is his work and party tool, for Thiago it is the only way to link healthy with the world. His therapeutic educational center closed because Andis refinancing issues and for a month he was left with nothing. “The private cost to sustain your schooling and complementary therapies is unpayable. The school would be around one million pesos and if I add the psychologist, speech therapist and companion, I am in the three million in total. The social work covers it by law, but if there are no categorized schools, I have nowhere to send it and only at home can not be left because it can get hurt if something leaves its logic of life, “he says.
But the crisis is not limited to the school environment and the chain of activities and payments that breaks the Andis with its calculated inactivity. In parallel, The Government also suspended more than 80 thousand pensions for labor disabilitywith the argument of irregularities in their assignments. Although some casualties corresponded to deceased beneficiaries or voluntary resignations, the impact was massive, meaning savings of more than 23 billion pesos per month for the State, at the expense of thousands of people who lost a food income.
The combination of arbitrary audits, centers, pension cuts and designations in the midst of political scandals draw a gloomy panorama. Parents who must stop working to accompany their children, professionals who are unemployed overnight, children who lose their schooling, social bond, routine and basic right to inclusion. News tried to talk to three Andis authorities, without obtaining an answer.
The State, far from guaranteeing rights, is withdrawn. The control policy replaces protection, numbers prevail over people and bureaucracy is imposed on human sense. Iván, Luana, Thiago and thousands of more boys are not statistics, but lives crossed by an abandonment that disguises itself as an audit. And while the official silence is deafening, families continue to ask the same thing: that someone listens to them.
