At #TAFI we use #Autism gardening therapy to help children with their communication skills. Gardening is a physical activity involving the use of the hands; therefore, it doesn’t require much in the way of verbal skills.

Melon is the ‘birthday cake’ at TAFI Autism School and sometimes to avoid sugar on birthday cakes, we give the children bio yoghurt to celebrate a birthday.

As we celebrate #InternationalYouthDay2022 we need to raise awareness about the needs of young people with disabilities and affirm inclusive and accessible. People around autistic youths to recognize their talents, instead of using their weakness for not recognizing their work.

Let's avoid words that can ignite war or cause disunity. Let's be calm and keep our cool especially in this election. There's alot of anxiety but let's maintain peace.

#Diet is important & that is why we grow our own vegetables. Its helps to transform the brain health in a number of different ways & as a result children with #autism are more present, experience fewer behaviors and have improvements in developmental skills

Benefit of sand box for children with #autism is that it not only engages the touch sense but also involves senses such as sight, hearing, smell, and movement. It's helps the child gain a holistic experience as their sensory system is engaged & strengths their sensory modulations
