During the summer holidays
During the school summer holidays (from mid-July to mid-September) the Foundation offers suitable activities to children with autism in a pleasant and secure environment that is adapted to their needs.
We offer a wide variety of activities (crafts, sports, games, trampoline etc.) depending on the age of the children and their interests, as well as various outings (e.g. amusement parks, swimming pool, horse-drawn carriage, playgrounds). The children also benefit from contact with other children with autism.
The entire care concept is adjusted to the needs of the children and to the specificities of autism thanks to the use of weekly schedules and/or day programmes that the children can follow.
The children are looked after from 9.30 to 16.30, Mondays to Fridays. Two members of the educational team from the Foundation look after the children assisted by several students, interns or trainee carers (their numbers depend on the number of children). Children are admitted from the age of 5 until the end of compulsory schooling.
The service was created in 2010 to meet the high demand by parents who often have difficulty in finding appropriate care facilities for their children with autism during the long summer holidays. The service also gives parents some free time during the day.
