About Us
Parent and Caregiver Resources & Workshops
Empowerment and education starts with the caregivers and parents of children with Autism. Autism and the Spectrum is often misunderstood and we aim to inform and equip the people who care for these children.
A Day Care Centre & Boarding Facility
We cater for verbal and non-verbal autistic children from as early as 3 years, and the children are taught on a one-to-one base to develop their gross motor and fine motor skills, and their academic skills.
Adult Skills Development Centre
It is crucial for adults with Autism to refine their abilities, fostering independence and paving the way for self-employment. Therefore, we pledge to journey alongside autistic adults, guiding them towards self-sufficiency.
