Through our GOALS program, we connected with professionals from the Mustaqbal Center for Special Needs, a remarkable institution dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support to children with special needs in South and Central Somalia. To celebrate World Autism Month and help create endless possibilities for individuals with autism living in Somalia, we provided a virtual educator training on autism spectrum disorder in March of 2024, and we were an invited speaker at their World Autism Day event on April 2.
Our presence, through a pre-recorded video, focused on bringing valuable insights and inspiration on autism to a diverse audience, including representatives from government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), medical professionals, educators, and the wider community.
