VISION
Establish a home for autistic individuals, especially when their parents or guardian(s) are no longer around.
Improve existing training, development and support for autistic people.
Set up a Community-based Rehabilitation Centre under the support of the Welfare Department to lighten the financial load of the parents (2 years plan) and to accommodate the rapid increase of the autistic population.
Apply for a plot of land from the State Government for the purpose of building a home to care for matured autistic individuals (5 years plan).
In line with PAM’s mission and vision, a day-care centre Miri Autistic Centre was gradually formed and established in June 2010..
This is to provide academic, living/self-help technical skills and independent-development training for autistic children so that they can eventually be assimilated into society. |
