Happy World Autism Awareness Day! 💛
Today is a reminder of the importance of understanding, inclusion, and celebrating the strengths and achievements of autistic individuals. 🙌
The Gaisce programme provides young people with the opportunity to explore their passions, try new things, and develop valuable skills and confidence. Designed to be flexible, it allows participants to progress at their own pace and adapt the experience to meet their individual needs and comfort levels. 😄
We hope everyone participating in Gaisce feels empowered to embrace their uniqueness, explore their potential, and create a path that reflects their true selves. 💛
