F) Current status of Sebastián Furlan 116. Sebastián Furlan finished high school “at the age of thirty.” 237 However, his accident affected “his opportunities for educational development” and “his potential relationships with peers.” Specifically, there is evidence of the “enormous difficulties that he has experienced throughout these years to get a decent job that correspond[ed] to the social and assistance benefits in accordance with the labor law.”238 Currently, “Sebastián works selling perfumes [...] on his own and in the streets” and “never ha[d] a formal job.” 239 117. Sebastián Furlan now lives with his partner, Laura Alicia Sarto and his two sons, Diego Germán and Adrián Nicolás.240 The family income consists of Sebastián Furlan’s disability pensions (supra para. 115) and the “small amount that [Sebastián] makes on perfume sales.” In this regard, a social-environmental report on this family unit concluded that “[t]he analysis of the household and observations demonstrat[ed], in terms of ‘livability,’ the serious difficulties faced both by Sebastián and by his family” given that the house “does not meet the basic standards for performing daily activities.”241 118. Finally, the most recent medical assessments242 of Sebastián Furlan indicate: i) “failures in problem-solving (difficulties in learning to do new things […] difficulty in making future plans, difficulty in doing things in order,” among others; ii) “attention difficulties (easily distracted [or] needs to pay more attention and make greater efforts to perform tasks and lack of attentiveness),” iii) “memory problems (forgets what he had planned to do, forgets commitments and forgets where he puts things),” and iv) “practical difficulties (to draw or copy), difficulty when expressing thoughts and slow speech.” Moreover, they identified “fine motor problems, unsteadiness of gait, balance problems and he bumps into things often.” They also detected “problems with abstract thinking, speed of information processing and poor self-monitoring of his behavior and responses.” Similarly, they observed “difficulties in the initial assimilation of new information” which is reflected in the “storage and long-term recalling of information.” It was concluded that the “cognitive profile shows mild to moderate attention-executive dysfunction.” 119. Similarly, the medical reports described Sebastián as “an adult who has difficulty in focusing his attention and executive functions, evident in the problems with abstract thinking, speed of information processing, poor self-monitoring of his behaviors and responses. He also has memory problems that interfer[e] with the acquisition of new information.” Regarding Sebastián’s daily life, these concluded that “daily life activities are 237 Social-environmental report prepared by Marta Celia Fernández, pages 2458 to 2469. 238 Social-environmental report by Marta Celia Fernández, pages 2458 to 2469. 239 Social-environmental report by Marta Celia Fernández, pages 2458 to 2469. 240 Social-environmental report by Marta Celia Fernández, pages 2458 to 2469. 241 According to the social-environmental report by Marta Celia Fernández, Sebastian Furlan is continues to live in Ciudadela Norte, an area which, as previously mentioned, is middle lower class and lower class. The report describes house as having “flimsy walls and the roof [was] clearly in a state of disrepair, [with] leaks contributing to the characteristic humidity of the place and caus[ing] its poor state. The report added, “the room used by the family as a bedroom [was] of an inadequate size, not suited to the number of family members who [slept] there.” “It looked very untidy due to the small space and the large number of belongings that were kept there.” The report concluded that possible reparations to the house “would really be insufficient given the prevailing conditions in the place.” 242 Report issued by the Centro de Estudios de la Memoria and la Conducta (Center for Memory and Behavior Studies) of July 18, 2011 (file of appendices to the brief of pleadings and motions, volume 5, pages 2470 to 2476). 41
