AMW's 3rd Holiday Programme for Individuals with Moderate to Severe Autism, Deadline november 7

Dear everyone:

I am excited to announce our third “A Mother’s Wish”(AMW) Holiday Programme for individuals with moderate to severe autism. The AMW fund (comes from 30% of the sales of the paintings of Sebastien, my autistic son) and the families of the participants will share in the costs.

Through the holiday programmes, we hope to offer an experience of AMW’s model of collective caregiving that spreads the responsibility of caring for individuals with autism across the community.
 It is our dream to create a community that provides affordable quality programmes for youths and adults with moderate to severe autism all-year-round.

Concise Overview

·      Eight activities (November 28^th – December 11^th)

·      Only activities with six participants will run. Targeted participants — individuals with moderate to severe autism, aged 6 and above.

Priority will be given to participants who sign up for three or more activities.

·      Duration: Typically 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. [approx. 2 hours programming & 1-hour travel time].

·      Public transport component: Participants will travel by public transport, under supervision (1 assistant/volunteer: 1 participant), to participate in ONE activity on each day of the holiday programme. 

·      A fun review worksheet will be provided to each participant at the end of the activity. From previous experience, we have found that this is a more “fun” way to get the participants to practise academic learning skills.
