1. How many children, and adults are suffering from ASD in Jamaica, under 18, and over?
2. How much will it cost per child? How much would it cost to include adult ASD who also rely on caregivers?
3. What sort of care/support is needed for Autistic adults?
4. Is this something that could be incorporated into regular schools? Or to incorprorate non affected kids, or kids with other disorders, eg. ADHD which is also on the rise, as well as PTSD, and other difficulties which would impair learning and socialization?
5. Where on the island is the need greatest?
6. Are there other existing organizations where resources could be pooled and a joint effort be created that would offer broader spectrum of care and support to families, educators, and persons with various disabilities which affect their self-sufficiency and integration into society?
Awesome
I would like to know if parents in the rural areas are able to use the resources to help their special needs children. Would cultural practices inhibit parents in the rural areas from getting the information that would allow them to use the available resources? Can these children reach their true potential?
