Visited RCCI yesterday, I wonderful centre for children and young people with disabilities. They have 62 children, with a whole host of conditions and levels of disability. Asha Supports RCCI to work with 12 autistic children and teenagers. They have there own class , but now some have join other classes as they ''levels'' have improved, however they remains 5 highly needy children in the unit who basically receive one to one support.
It was so good to spend time talking to Shirannee the founder and head of the centre and get a greater understanding of how they work but also of the challenges in which they work not least the constant struggle for adequate funding. Clearly Shirannee passion is that this young people will be able to live independent lives, or as close to this as possible.
While I was there they had an assembly followed by PE. The young lady in the photo sung that classic song '' I have a dream''. Where would we be without a bit of Abba to lift the spirits.
