Autism Education

In an effort to directly impact the lives of children living with Autism, improve access to quality education and promote the understanding, acceptance and awareness of Autism in communities in Ghana, Hopeworks Ghana has partnered with Children's Oasis Foundation to provide Autism Resource Centres in deprived communities in Ghana.

Hopeworks Ghana and Children's Oasis Foundation believe that having children with Autism and other disabilities in the same classroom does not help with the development of children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder because of the lack of speech and communication. Even though teachers are expected to contribute to the development of these children, this has been a challenge for the Twin City Special School because of a lack of educational resources and learning materials.

Hopeworks Ghana, through the partnership, provided Twin City Special School located in Sekondi in the Western Region with 2 Autism Resource Centers in 2019 in an effort to provide resources, train, and improve access to quality education for more students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
