Early intervention is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways to support positive developmental outcomes for autistic children. Through our Growing Programme, we advocate for early autism screening, timely diagnosis, and expanded access to affordable, evidence-based therapy services in Kenya and the wider region.

We work collaboratively with therapists, healthcare providers, schools, and partner organizations to strengthen referral pathways and increase availability of speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral interventions, and developmental support. Our approach emphasizes quality, affordability, and accessibility, particularly for families who would otherwise face long delays or prohibitive costs.

In addition to service access, the Growing Programme promotes awareness around the importance of early intervention among parents, educators, and healthcare workers. By reducing barriers to early support, we aim to improve developmental outcomes, enhance functional skills, and support long-term inclusion for autistic children.
