Mascot
To make the project coordinated and entertaining,
a figure was created to represent it: Rudolf the octopus.
Children with SLD must learn to juggle numbers and
letters despite their difficulties and each one of them
is unique, like Rudolf: the favorite christmas reindeer
chosen for its diversity, an unusual luminous red nose.
The choice mascot has fallen upon the octopus because
of its remarkable intelligence and its ability to adapt.
