Progress for 100 Dominican kids with special needs

Hi, I am José Daniel, I am 6 and a half years old and I live with my parents and 1 older brother and sister.

I always feel happy and cheerful and  I also like to sing and I love buses of which I know a song in English!

I realize that God made me different from other children, because they told my mother I have something called Autism. 

I love my mummy because she has tried to enroll me in several schools, but after a while they don't accept me there anymore because I'm very restless, I don't pay attention, I run around a lot. I feel bad for not being accepted at school.

My mother sought help in many institutions, but they did not help her a lot until she met the Fundación Cuidado Infantil Dominicano in October 2021.
Auntie Rosa started visiting me every Wednesday. She showed my mother how to play with me so I would learn new things like matching, finishing puzzles, dressing up as an adult, filling and arranging letters and many other things.  I am a little less restless now also, because I like the things auntie Rosa shows my mother how to play with me, every week she comes with something new!

I feel very happy with her help and my mother too.

The mother of José Daniel is one of the mothers that are very satisfed with the positive changes the teaming up with our foundation has brought to her family and management of José Daniel.

Every week we get new requests from mothers for our help and the last three years the mayority of them are from families with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

We would like to thank you for your continued support for our work with the families of and young people living with disabilities.  Bringing them hope for a better future. Most of them are happier, more social, more engaged and some of them even have been gainlfully employed!   We are still working on getting most of the children accepted in the local schools!
