A PATHWAY TO INDEPENDENCE

What is Autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disability, typically appearing during childhood and affecting a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. For National Autism Awareness Month, we created shareable resources about autism, the signs & symptoms, and how to be more inclusive.

Our Vision

Our vision is to have an inclusive society where the rights of children and young persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disorders are fulfilled.

Our Mission

To be an organization that promotes inclusion of children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities through Research, Advocacy, Innovation and Knowledge Sharing.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT

Speech and language therapy provides identification, assessment, treatment and support of a broad range of difficulties regarding speech, language, communication and swallowing. Speech and language therapy is a service for adults and children, we provide a specialised service to support adults with speech, language, communication and swallowing needs.

JOB SHADOWING AND COACHING

We place youth for internships in various organizations and SME's where we align their skills with their self driven skills. Our partnered organizations bring expertise through music and technology to improve the child exposure.



FUNCTIONAL SKILLS TRAINING

We coach on adaptive skills, safety practices, managing daily life and independence from care givers and parents. Teaching begins at a very young age especially for those with significant needs.



EDUCATION OF TRAINERS

We capacity build the SNE trainer to be creative in training using progressive, interactive and transformational resources to keep the child engaged in the learning journey.




CAREGIVER/PARENT SUPPORT

We give caregivers access to trainings that allow them to connect better with their child, access to a community as well as real world proven experiences such as self feeding, toileting and school skills.

“I celebrate myself for how I think and what it is that I value in life. I rest easy knowing that nobody can take that away from me.”

Richard Roe
