Challenge

Autistic children require constant attention. Their parents spend all their free time (after work, during the weekend or holiday) by taking care of kinds. They cannot ask their parents, relatives, friend to help them - the autistic kinds need special treatment. The lack of rest has very negative impact on health and psychological well-being of parents. Most of them do not have anyone to ask for help.

Solution

Andreas - autistic centre is opened only during a week, they do not provide a daycare during weekend. By supporting this project, the Centre will be able to ensure wage for social workers taking care of autistic kinds. The parents could spend their free time actively, without any doubts how are doing their kids.

Long-Term Impact

A day care for autistic children is challenging. Their problem behavior is very exhaustive. We dont want to ensure only one free weekend for their parents to take a rest. Professional day care for autistic children includes various individual and collective activities which support and improve independence of these children.
