To our faithful donors.

We want to let you know how this project you have supported so much has been growing.

Today we are taking in our center to sixty-eight participants who are working in new activities as our workshops.

That's right! We now have various workshops where our young and adult participants are doing so many productive things with their time and potencialities.

We have a wood, gardening, imitation jewerly, bath salts and cooking workshops where our participants paint and sand wood pieces, make beautiful necklaces and earings, cook delicious dishes and make beautiful presents in general to sell them later to continuing growing their habilities for their own bennefit

All these workshops allows them to learn a new office and get interested by something that sets their creativity free while they use their habilities ans potencialities to do something that bring bennefits fotr themselves and for their classmates.

We couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished, but this could not have happened without your support and constant interest in this amazing and rewarding porject.

Thank you for always being there.

Lets accomplished more things together.

TERAPIA DE LENGUAJE

Dear donors.

We want to share with you the progress made to date with this beautiful project, and it is thanks to the unconditional support and encouragement of many of you, who accompany us every day.

Today, we have been able to double the care for young people and adults with the condition of ASD, which is so compromised, and which really needs each and every one of us, to offer them a therapeutic plan according to their needs.

Approaching more Venezuelan families has been very satisfying for each one of us who work and believe in this beautiful project.

Today, we are a community of sixty-eight (68) participants in our headquarters, of which thirty (30) were able to be admitted through scholarships, and we know that we can support many more.

Likewise, we have been able to cover their health needs, by inaugurating the OscaryAnny Community Medical Center in June 2021, where we not only offer medical assistance to our entire population, but also to the community in general, our Center physician to providing care to more than 1,295 people to date.

Our work continues, and the commitment remains intact.

We are very proud of the achievements obtained, and we know that it does not end here, for this and more we go hand in hand with you.

Thank you all for wanting to leave a mark.

We keep growing together!!

TECHNICAL EVOLUTION REPORT Miguel Alejandro

By Now I am an adult and I need you! | Autismo Dejando Huella

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A 22-year-old male patient diagnosed with moderate ASD, with greater involvement in expressive language, emotional regulation and executive functions, which limit his independent development in different contexts. Which after the death of his mother (primary caregiver), the socio-economic deprivation that the country presents and the confinement after the pandemic, a decrease in cognitive function was evidenced, losing basic skills such as processing speed, sustained attention and shared, imitation, inhibition, flexibility and sequencing; requiring greater assistance from his main caregiver (elderly father).

THERAPEUTIC OBJECTIVES

Preserve basic academic skills through curricular adaptations and psychopedagogical support in the classroom.

Establish augmentative communication system to increase the intention of communication and joint attention.

Decrease in heteroaggressiveness episodes and increase cognitive flexibility.

Offer support space to the father as an exclusive caregiver figure, to contribute to his physical and psychological health.

Increase repertoires of complex behaviors within the skills of daily life as self-care habits.

EVOLUTION

Upon joining the psychoeducational and therapeutic program of our institution, Miguel found a space and a stable dynamic that reduced the levels of anxiety and irritability generated by the lack of stimulation caused by socioeconomic deprivation and confinement; which, when incorporated into the routine with the TEACCH methodology, brought as a favorable consequence the restoration of basic life cycles such as the circadian rhythm, decreased emotional dysregulation and risk behaviors.

Likewise, the probability of developing a comorbidity of mood typical of young adulthood, added to contextual conditions, stopped with stimulation in the different conventional therapies (OT. TL. Psychopedagogy and psychology) in addition to significant experiences of learning such as sports, recreation, artistic workshops and audiovisual leisure activities; which favors the preservation of cognitive abilities achieved.

SYNTHESIS

Since the beginning of the individualized interdisciplinary program within Autism Leave a Footprint, Miguel has managed to reduce behavioral excesses and mood swings, minimizing the risk of accidents for himself and his caregiver, as well as the damage caused to his home in an episode of behavioral crises. These advances strengthened the parental bond, allowing the father to recover from his emotional exhaustion and offering opportunities for healthy and harmonious coexistence within the daily dynamics; in turn reducing the chances of evolving into a comorbidity of mood. Therefore, his permanence within the therapeutic program is essential to contribute to the maintenance of his cognitive and emotional resources.
