This year, World Autism Day falls on the back of the awe-inspiring Special Olympics World Games held in Abu Dhabi which brought together 7500 participants with intellectual disabilities, including autism, pushing boundaries and embodying strength, courage and determination. It is estimated that 1 in 59 children are diagnosed with autism, a condition that is frequently misunderstood, but with the right support and guidance children can flourish to live a life without limits. Al Jalila Foundation, through our Ta’alouf program, supports parents, teachers and carers to empower children.
