Associations for the disabled Languedoc Roussillon

SURDI 30 is a Nîmes-based association founded in 2003 by deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Its aim is to offer solutions to improve the daily lives of people with hearing impairments, and to promote communication. The association is run by some fifteen volunteers, in partnership with the City of Nîmes and the Conseil Général du Gard. It offers an adapted reception area, educational and fun meetings, prevention and awareness modules on deafness, as well as friendly and cultural outings. SURDI 30's aim is to change social attitudes so that deafness is recognized as a disability in its own right. The association is open to anyone with an interest in deafness.

Founded on a medical project for the rehabilitation and rehabilitation of visually impaired patients, the Aramav Institute in Nîmes is more than 20 years old. His mission? To help people with visual disabilities by seeking to develop their autonomy. Various therapeutic programs are adapted to cases ranging from light visual potential to total blindness. Reintegration stays, with a sense of stimulation work, take into account age, physical and psychological difficulties, and the expectations and projects of each. During its training, the patient will be monitored by a multidisciplinary team and fully supported by the clinic. Ongoing professional training modules, seminars for practitioners are also organized at the Institute for a multidisciplinary approach to visual impairment in adults.
