It\u2019s through them that I learnt to take diversity for granted and so it surprised me to then see how society very often isn\u2019t <em>designed<\/em> for everyone. When you have one or two weekly sessions with someone for years, a bond is created between you and there\u2019s a space in which you can speak openly about everything. I\u2019ve always thought that many of the difficulties my patients have can be put down to the lack of thought that\u2019s put into the creation of our environment. And it\u2019s partly their \u201cfault\u201d then that I now argue loudly for a <em>universal design<\/em> at every level. Organizing and participating in a range of inclusive projects is the way in which I can strive to normalize functional diversity, making our society less disabled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your verdict on the this event that you\u2019ve organized in Valencia, the I Sal\u00f3n de Deporte Inclusivo?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a success. Despite the difficulties that have appeared along the way and the lack of resources, we\u2019ve managed to pilot an event which we hope will be taken as an example to follow for adaptive sports in Valencia. It\u2019s all thanks to the help of a range of organizations, such as the Fundaci\u00f3n Deportiva Municipal, the UPV, the Colegio de Fisioterapeutas, and also Germ\u00e1n Garc\u00eda, because without him this would have been impossible,\u00a0 and then also all the clubs who offered activities and the companies who supported us. There\u2019s a lot still to learn, but we know that we\u2019ve been able to plant a seed which could now grow into a great project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103317\" src=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio.jpg 960w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/alma-entrevista-radio-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What response are you seeing from society?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a challenge for us to attract the interest of society in these events and to get people to come to them. Inclusive projects have to make an impact on everyone, not just on a specific group of people who you already know are interested in sport or the issue itself. Those of us who already form part of this world know the value and benefits of inclusion \u2013 what we need to do is to convince everyone else. We have to stop trying to <em>persuade<\/em> other people and start to <em>show<\/em> them the potential that these events have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setting up a company or organizing an event like this is not an easy thing to do. How do you go about working for social development?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been easier now than it was for me when I set up my own private clinic. That\u2019s probably because I have a lot more experience now than when I opened it ten years ago. Although the field I\u2019m working in and the strategies I need to employ are very different, I can see how much I can achieve through hard work. You don\u2019t have that kind of self-confidence when you\u2019re twenty-four.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIT\u2019S VERY EXCITING TO BELIEVE IN A PROJECT AND THEN TO MAKE IT A REALITY.\u00a0 AND IF IT\u2019S ALSO SOMETHING WHICH HELPS MAKES THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE, THEN JUST IMAGINE.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m now involved in a very special project: to turn the Valencia region into the number one area for adapted cycling in Spain. For the project, I\u2019m working with <strong>Ruth Aguilar<\/strong> (who was awarded the Valencian regional government\u2019s <em>Medalla de Oro al M\u00e9rito Deportivo<\/em> in 2014 and is a member of the ONCE charity\u2019s Paralympic trainer group), <strong>Cristina Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, President of <em>Asociaci\u00f3n TetraSport<\/em> (which supports participation in sport by people with a disability) and <strong>Mauro Xesteira<\/strong>, President of the <em>Asociaci\u00f3n Emprendedores Sin Barreras<\/em> (which supports entrepreneurship by people with a disability). All this is backed by the Asociaci\u00f3n Tetrasport. We don\u2019t have all the details yet, but one of the things we\u2019ll be doing is bringing one of the stages of the Spain\u2019s main adaptive cycling event, the <em>Copa de Espa\u00f1a<\/em>, to Valencia. And then I\u2019ve always got some crazy ideas going around my head that might one day become great project, but you need to find the right time to bring them to fruition.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI KNEW THAT I WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE, HEAL THEM, TAKE CARE OF THEM AND HELP THEM TO FEEL BETTER.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Why did you study physiotherapy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re a child, you think about doing every new thing that come across: you want to be a dancer, a firefighter, a fisherwoman, or a singer. After that phase, I knew that I wanted to be a physiotherapist, although I didn\u2019t know that that was what that job was called until I got older. I knew that I wanted to help people, heal them, take care of them and help them to feel better. With time, I discovered that that was physiotherapy and so, here I am, many years later. I can say that I did it and that I made the right choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve done two master\u2019s courses and around twenty specialization courses concerning physiotherapy, adaptive sports, and therapies involving animals. How necessary is it to keep up with the latest developments?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m passionate about working with people with disabilities, especially children, and perhaps I\u2019ve cast too wide a net with my training. In any case, I think it\u2019s important for all professionals to keep on learning. It\u2019s the only way to avoid stagnating in your work, to keep your motivation and to avoid getting stuck in routines which end up making the treatment you give feel impersonal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you remember about your time as a student at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got great memories of my time there. My year was the first to graduate in Physiotherapy at CEU, sixteen years ago now, and so it was all very exciting. Both for us because of the change from the sheltered life of school and for the lecturers who were trying to establish a new study programme at the University.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t at CEU long and during the three years of my diploma there, I didn\u2019t become very close to many people. I\u2019ve always been very independent. I\u2019ve stayed in contact with some of them, but maybe not as much as I would like. Gloria, Luc\u00eda, Nacho\u2026 I can also say I studied alongside <strong>Miguel \u00c1ngel Silvestre<\/strong>, and that I gave him a massage during our practical training. He wasn\u2019t in my lectures, but people always find that funny.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got great memories of my lecturers <strong>Pedro Rosado<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Javier Mart\u00ednez Gramage<\/strong> and <strong>Miguel \u00c1ngel Vidal<\/strong>. Maybe they\u2019re not aware of it, but they were an important part of giving that push forward that you need when starting to build a life of your own.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI ALWAYS FELT THAT i WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE UNIVERSITY HAS HELPED ME TO BE THE PERSON i AM.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103318\" src=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/aa-alma-aranda-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Alma for all your work and all the best for the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passion, determination and hard work \u2013 that is how Alma Paula Aranda, a physiotherapist who has found her true calling, has become a true pioneer in social responsibility.
