World Autism Awareness Day

 

April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day, a day to come together to learn about autism and support people affected by it.

Autism spectrum disorder

Autism spectrum disorder refers to a broad range of mental health conditions characterized by challenges in speech, non-verbal communication, social skills, and repetitive disorders. Cambodia has put measures in place to ensure that children with autism get education opportunities. There are several classrooms in state schools that cater to children with disabilities in the whole country. Through the classrooms, children with disabilities, such as those with autism, are enrolled in formal education programs, integrating them with other children of the same age.  In general, parents and society are taught the effects of stigmatization to protect the children from being discriminated against. Effective parenting also includes making sure that children have access to educational opportunities and are not distinguished.
