A seminar on autism awareness was organised by the ASDRC in Lahore at a local hotel recently. It was attended by more than one hundred parents and professionals including teachers, doctors, and therapists. Rukhsana Shah, CEO of Autism Spectrum Disorders Resource Centre (ASDRC), in her welcome address, expressed her gratitude to the MJS Foundation for its financial and moral support, which enabled the Centre to offer the finest trainings to teachers and parents free of cost.
She said that it was the mission of ASDRC to create a critical mass of trained teachers and care-givers and to create maximum awareness in the country about autism and learning disabilities. In her inaugural address, Mahvash Jahangir Siddiqui, Chairperson of MJS Foundation, stated that the Foundation was striving to improve health, education and social outcomes in Pakistan through the establishment of additional facilities in existing public and private hospitals. The recently established Autism Resource Centre in Lahore set up by the Foundation is designed to create greater awareness about autism and learning disabilities in the country, and to train parents and teachers of special and mainstream schools in the relevant fields.-PR
