Florida, November 7 – Special Education is the backbone of the Cuban educational system, with over six decades of dedicated work focused on the comprehensive care of children, adolescents, and young adults with special needs.
This inclusive model guarantees the right to a quality, equitable, and personalized education, maximizing the development and autonomy of each student.
In Florida, the José Luis Tassende Special School is a prime example of this commitment. This institution stands out for its work in the education and development of its students by providing an adapted learning environment that fosters their academic, social, and life skills and significantly contributes to their inclusion in the community.
The José Luis Tassende School team is the heart of this noble mission. Composed of teachers, speech therapists, educational psychologists, art instructors, and other specialists, they carry out interdisciplinary work characterized by dedication, pedagogical creativity, and profound human sensitivity.
It is only right to acknowledge the exemplary dedication of the educators at this center. Their dedication to service, patience, and professional passion are the driving force that transforms challenges into achievements.
Their work reflects the spirit that, for 64 years, has guided Cuban Special Education: the conviction that everyone has a place and can shine brightly.
