Our Evolution
Creating an Inclusive Cohesive Society
Our communities are growing and so are the number of children affected with Autism and other developmental delays. The vision for 2030 is to promote inclusivity of all people, especially those with disabilities and empower them with the skills they need to live a decent and independent life.
People with disabilities rarely access tertiary education or get to work and receive accommodations in an environment that is open, inclusive, and accessible.
Families of children and young adults face challenges with integration, behavior management and inclusion in the community.
Professionals working with people with disabilities lack behavioral management skills and evidence-based programs to support the individualized needs of students and learners.
There is lack of societal awareness towards the rights of individuals with disabilities to education and decent living.
Why Now
1 in 44 identified with Autism
It's time for leaders in special education to make a change and be part of the future. Maharat's philisophy for inclusion guarantees the highest standard of early intervention, education and social care services, to foster the inclusion of people of dertermination and build a cohesive society.
