Expertise reaches management
Raquel Cárcamo shared the centre’s leadership with Blanca Tejero. Cárcamo, herself a professional with an intellectual disability, said: “It is essential to employ people in different roles: from validation to management.” She argued that disabled professionals could contribute beyond checking whether documents or spaces were understandable.

A legal mandate for understanding
Law 6/2022, published on 1 April 2022, explicitly included cognitive accessibility within universal accessibility. It covered easy-to-read materials, pictograms and communication support, and provided for CEACOG’s creation. The centre’s work therefore connected inclusive employment with a public responsibility to make information and services understandable. [2]
Training reaches museums and libraries
The work subsequently reached cultural institutions. On 4 May 2023, Plena inclusión reported that 287 museum and library professionals from public institutions had received cognitive accessibility training. The organisation presented this work as a way to make public administration easier to understand.
