What:
We offer counseling, family training, and access to therapies that help children with autism and ADHD improve communication, manage behavior, and develop learning and social skills.
Where:
Programs are delivered through community centers, schools, and our partner hubs in Kingston, Portmore, and St. Catherine, with outreach expanding islandwide.
Who:
Children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and related challenges, along with their families, teachers, and caregivers.
When:
Services are offered year-round, with workshops and sessions scheduled monthly. Support is available both in-person and online where possible.
Why:
Because early and consistent support can make a lifelong difference in how children learn, grow, and interact with the world.
What:
We provide access to assistive technology such as speech devices, learning software, mobility aids, and other tools that make education and daily life easier. Resource hubs also include training sessions on how to use these tools effectively.
Where:
Two physical resource hubs are being developed in Kingston and Portmore, with mobile outreach to rural communities.
Who:
Children with physical or developmental disabilities, their families, and teachers who need support in the classroom.
When:
Resource hubs are open throughout the week, with appointments for device access, training, and workshops.
Why:
Because access to the right tools can unlock independence, learning, and self-confidence for children with disabilities.
What:
We deliver essential support — including food, clothing, school supplies, and counseling — while also running mentorship programs for children in care homes and schools.
Where:
Children’s homes, schools, and community centers across Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Catherine, and expanding islandwide.
Who:
Vulnerable children in state care, families in financial hardship, and communities lacking access to disability support services.
When:
Outreach is conducted on a quarterly basis, with special drives during back-to-school and holiday seasons.
Why:
Because families facing hardship deserve support, dignity, and hope — and children in care homes should feel valued and included.
What:
We host events like cake sales, toy drives, family fun days, and awareness walks to raise funds, spread inclusion, and engage the wider community.
Where:
Local communities in Kingston, Portmore, and St. Catherine, with plans to expand to other parishes.
Who:
The general public, families, volunteers, schools, sponsors, and business partners.
When:
Major fundraising events take place throughout the year — including annual cake sales, autism awareness events in April, and toy drives during Christmas.
Why:
Because fundraising is not only about resources — it’s about building awareness, fostering inclusion, and creating joy-filled moments for children and families.
