It’s a sigh of relief for parents raising autistic children following the launch of a state-of-the-art autistic centre in Nanyuki, Laikipia County.
The facility is expected to cater to the needs of autistic children, including speech therapy, orthopaedic therapy and a sensory unit, among others, aimed at ensuring they live a productive and healthy life.
Tumaini St. Thorlak Autism Centre, which was launched by Nyeri Diocese Bishop Anthony Muheria, is funded by well-wishers and other partners. The facility is domiciled at Huruma Consolata Hospital.
Muheria pointed out that Autism was becoming in the country, making parents despair for lack of support since treatment was costly.
