Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Autism is one of the most neglected social problems in Poland. Autistic children have difficulties communicating with others and understanding the world and social bonds. Many children stay home with no possibility of education, therapy, or integration with peers. We have 280 children and their families in our help system. Our intensive learning and therapy program can give them a chance to develop and progress.

Activities

Integration meetings (12 a year) for autistic children & their families. Sport activities, art & music classes, communication skills; Week-long climbing camps twice a year; 2 recreation camps for high-functioning autistic youth; Computer activities
