Fundacja ALEKlasa

The ALEKlasa Foundation was founded to help children with Asperger's Syndrome and their families. We do not deny the fact that ZA is a disability, but we try to approach it fully optimistic, treating it as an additional asset, or, as we like to say lately, "Ace in the sleeve." But what does it actually mean? We are aware that along with the diagnosis we receive in the package "strengths and weaknesses" of the child, very joyful, but also these dramatic moments, lack of acceptance from peers, but also great friendships. Asperger's syndrome is therefore no different from the neurotypical world, where everything has its light and dark sides.

We do not deny the fact that ZA is a disability, but we try to approach it fully optimistic, treating it as an additional asset, or, as we like to say lately, "Ace in the sleeve." But what does it actually mean? We are aware that along with the diagnosis we receive in the package "strengths and weaknesses" of the child, very joyful, but also these dramatic moments, lack of acceptance from peers, but also great friendships. Asperger's syndrome is therefore no different from the neurotypical world, where everything has its light and dark sides. However, we are aware that the colors of Asperger Syndrome are definitely more expressive. We, the parents, of the wonderful 9-year-old Mateusz from ZA have created the foundation, that is why we know problems, emotions, sadness, joy, doubt or the struggles of families with Asperger's Syndrome perfectly. However, we also know that it can be very cool, positive, in a sense of love and respect for the otherness of the child. Aces can be demanding, it's true, but with the same intensity they can love and show affection. As parents of a child with special requirements, we have found many times that only with a little good will from the "rest of the world", our children are able to achieve literally everything! Unfortunately, often this "whole world", schools or peers do not want, and maybe they cannot, support our Aces - that's why our foundation was created. The ALEKlasa Foundation is intended to support the development and education of children with Aspereger Syndrome. We want to see what others cannot see, arouse their passions and talents in children, and simply discover their hidden powers! To achieve this, we will also help overcome their difficulties, strengthen self-confidence and encourage action. However, we know that often, to be able to see the child's potential, you need to take care of his parents. Often, the diagnosis for many is something extremely difficult to accept, raises many fears for the future, or even prompts you to withdraw and run away. The ALEKlasa Foundation will therefore also support parents in their unique way by organizing workshops, support groups or conferences. We will not forget about the "rest of the world", which is why we will devote a lot of energy to educating teachers and peers, running workshops at schools for staff, parents and children. We dream that there would be a unified "response path" from the moment we receive the diagnosis, to the completion of high school, and then system support during the process of acquiring professional qualifications. But these are dreams and plans for later. Because we are a newly created foundation, born only from the desire to help children and families with Asperger Syndrome, we count on your support and help at the beginning of our foundation path. Thanks to the online support group we run "Together We Understand Aces" we have seen how much strength lies in the group and how much good we can achieve by acting together. We hope that it will be similar now and together we will create the ALEKlasa Foundation!
