FIRST LIVING COMMUNITY OF CENTER FOR AUTISM
The project “Sopnica I.” began in late 2009. thanks to the initiative and efforts of parents and understanding of the City. Center for Autism – Zagreb also got to use a subsidized housing complex in New Jelkovec. First, the selected potential users of the community, conducted the surveys of users, individual meetings were held with parents and carers, and eventually decided on candidates communities. It was decided that the first living community of the Center for Autism – Zagreb are included users who need greater levels of support in everyday activities, which are heterogeneous in their competence in self-care and household have different levels of functional communication and are heterogeneous in terms of pharmacotherapy. Our goal was to show that with adequate support to these people can live and use the facilities in the community and have a noticeable benefit from community care services. We were positively surprised by the willingness of parents and guardians, and especially their trust in what we do and plan for their child or loved one. From 2 March 2011. six girls live their new life in his apartment. |
