“Épanouî” opens a new educational center for autistic and disabled children in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
The association works on a daily basis to meet the needs of families with of children suffering from severe autism spectrum disorders or disabilities. By providing them with specialized welcome centers, the project aims to develop adapted educational spaces and propose an easily duplicable model and methodology for other associations. They accomplish this by providing existing organizations with tools to support managers and teams over a three years period, from implementation toward autonomy. This model makes it possible to welcome children aged 6 to 25, provide them with individual and/or collective teaching, allow them either to re-enter a school environment in ideal conditions, or progress at their own pace. The Foundation's support will enable children to benefit from activities adapted to their needs, such as dance therapy and circus workshops, while simultaneously strengthening the capacities of management and teaching teams through specialized training.
