Creating a better Jamaica for Children living with Autism
Our Autism Fun Day was a success!
OUR GOAL
Every year hundreds of chidren in Jamaica are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Autism). The challenges they and their families face goes way beyond the disorder itself. While awareness continues to grow in Jamaica, there is a huge need for better access to education, essential therapy services, community activities, and training.
As a country, we must do better to create an inclusive and thriving space for children with autism. Our goal at Whole Heart Autism is to create meaningful programs to improve the lives of children with autism and to provide families with opportunities that will help them thrive!
WHAT IS AUTISM?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Children and adults with ASD may behave, communicate, interact, and learn in ways that are different from most other people.
The disorder is a spectrum and no one child is the same. For example, some children with ASD are nonverbal while others can have conversations. Children with autism can learn and grow up to be valuable contributing members of society.
The work we do now in providing support, services and opportunities will help create a brighter future for children living with autism.
Don’t discriminate...love instead!
OUR TABLET PROGRAM
Our goal for 2024 is to provide 100 tablets to children living with Autism who are currently not enrolled in school. The reality is that many families lack the access and the financial resources to send their special needs children to school. We believe that with a tablet, these children can access educational apps, programs, and online learning opportunities to aid in their education.
A tablet is not just an electronic device for fun, in this new technological age, it is a gateway to accessing a world of learning.
