·30 min·2 clips

A live radio show broadcasts from a special education school where students communicate through assistive devices.

1. Cadena SER's Hoy por Hoy Teruel broadcasts live from CPEE Arboleda, a state special education centre in Teruel, Spain, on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 12:31pm. 2. Host Javier Jané is joined by school director Elena Blasco, local business owner Javier López (Gervasio Decoración), and illustrators Toni and Germán Alcaine — father and son — as well as several students. 3. The episode's purpose is to give the school visibility and to allow students, many of whom rarely have a public platform, to participate in live radio journalism. 4. Student Alejandro opens the programme by stating the date and time through an AAC communication device, earning on-air applause from the host. 5. Elena Blasco explains that a number of CPEE Arboleda students have no oral language but communicate through specialist software on devices such as iPads, a methodology called 'lenguaje natural asistido' implemented over the past five years. 6. Blasco says for some students the improvement from AAC devices has been 'sorprendente,' allowing them to express needs, thoughts, and opinions they previously could not communicate. 7. The school's Radio Arboleda project involves all 80 students, each class broadcasting a daily programme that is also published as a podcast online — described by Blasco as 'una actividad ya instaurada en el centro.' 8. Javier López of Gervasio Decoración explains he donated his award for Teruel's best Christmas window display (an advertising prize) to the school because CPEE Arboleda students visit his shop window each year and 'always make you smile' — it was his way of returning their affection. 9. Student journalists Asania and David interview López about how he developed his Papá Noel holiday window concept, with López explaining the idea emerged from imagining what Santa Claus does for the 365 days he is not delivering presents. 10. López reveals he already has an outline for next year's window display but declines to share it, keeping the school and listeners in suspense. 11. Illustrators Toni and Germán Alcaine — a father and son who work together on public murals — plan to create a mural with CPEE Arboleda students that represents the school's values, incorporating student artwork directly into the design. 12. The school has 80 enrolled students aged 5 to 21, supported by 73 staff: teachers, physiotherapists, special education assistants, nurses, kitchen staff, maintenance workers, and administrators. 13. Services include free school meals from the school's own kitchen, school transport, early-morning care from 8am, and residential care Monday to Friday for students living more than 40 kilometres from Teruel. 14. The school presented a project to the Diputación General de Aragón (DGA) in October 2023 for a 7x3-metre therapeutic pool — needed for students with significant motor impairments who cannot attend the standard municipal pool. 15. Blasco says the DGA confirmed the project would be funded through FITE regional development funds, then subsequently told the school the budget had run out — the project remains stalled. 16. The municipal swimming pool's existing therapeutic basin is also currently out of use because its ceiling collapsed. 17. The school is also seeking improved accessible pavement around the building and is concerned about a proposed bus stop removal as part of an Ayuntamiento urbanisation project. 18. The episode's tone combines warm community radio — celebratory of the school and its students — with mild advocacy for unmet infrastructure needs from regional and local government. 19. Parents, educators, and disability-sector professionals interested in AAC technology, special education practice, or community radio initiatives will find the episode directly relevant. 20. Listeners seeking news analysis or sports coverage will find no overlap with this episode's content.
