April is Autism Awareness Month and Rosanne Farley, the mother of an autistic child and a dedicated advocate for individuals with autism, has made good use of the occasion to open a centre to bring awareness of the condition.
The Early Childhood Services centre opened on World Autism Awareness Day (April 2, 2024), with a mission to provide essential support and intervention services to children on the spectrum and their families. Having spent the past eight years working part-time in the field, Farley’s personal experience of raising a daughter with autism inspired her to launch the centre.
“I was providing screening, interventions and guidance to parents who have children on the spectrum,” she explained.
