Empower Parents is an educational community formed by families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and professionals around the ICO Museum that, driven by hablarenarte, aims to transform museum and cultural institutions into more humanized and accessible spaces. The organization, in this case a museum linked to an official credit institution, thus opens its doors to children with a wider variety of abilities and their carers. In 2020, the team of families takes the reins and creates the Empower Parents Association, with the aim of continuing with the lines of work already initiated and incorporating new cultural and museum institutions into the project.
