Description
This Project focuses on strengthening the role of the patient organization LÍP A SPOLU and improving situation of people with autism spectrum disorders.
Effective support for people with autism and their families is still insufficient and unsystematic.
The reasons are, e.g.,missing,low-quality or overloaded services in the field of healthcare, welfare and education. There still may be misconceptions about autism from some parents,teachers and public.
Our project contributes to solving the situation in several ways.
We can increase the number of employees of our Patient Centre ‘LÍP A SPOLU, z.s,’and the project will enable them to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for successful running of the organization, representing people with autism and defending their interests and rights.
We will improve and expand our services for children and adults with autism and their families.
A personal assistant for children with autism will be trained to ensure a qualified care for children who visit our Centre or participate in our children camps.
We will organize 2 summer camps for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
We will carry out 4 weekend stays for families with children with autism which enable sharing experiences and improve the families’spirit.
We will organize a series of 12 educational events led by experts in the field of autism. Parents,teachers and other participants will gain new information and knowledge necessary for upbringing and education of children with autism.
There will be 2 meetings for students of pedagogical faculties with young people with autism.
We focus on educating and de-stigmatizing people with autism and at the same time working with those affected by the disorder. We will publish articles in the online magazine ATYP and an anthology with contribution of people with autism.
People with autism,directly or indirectly,their parents and other carers,teachers and the public will benefit from the project''s activities.
