The Coping in Secondary School intervention programme supports children facing challenges like anxiety and stress by providing structured routines.

Our son was diagnosed with high functioning autism at the age of 4.5 years. Up until that point, we struggled to understand why our son did not respond to us in the way that our other children had done. His language was unintelligible which made it hard to decipher his needs causing distress for all concerned and he would not make eye contact with us.… Read more “Testimonial 03”
