At Alba Home For Autistic Rehabilitation Foundation, we promote the dignity and self-worth of all our resident students living with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other forms of developmental difficulties, through functional education, skills building and research and also strive to give them as excellent quality of life.
The primary objective of the foundation through Alba home school is to manage and rehabilitate persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders, such that they can develop self reliance and there by become less dependent on the family and the society at large.
"Our primary objective is to manage and rehabilitate persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders, such that they can develop self reliance and there-by become less dependent on the family and the society at large."
Given the obvious challenges of persons exhibiting this condition, the management of the school envisages that there might be problems and difficulties of a different nature in housing/boarding both male and female autistic persons on the same premises, given close proximity of the two hostels. Hence, at present, it accepts only males. This is not gender insensitivity on the part of the organization, but a challenge. To this end, the foundation has an advanced plan to establish another school for FEMALE Autistics in Lagos, based on the requests we receive regularly from the families of autistic persons in Lagos State. Nevertheless, whenever we are able to expand the needed facilities with capable personnel, we hope to admit female autistic persons.
The institution has continued to provide residential and functional educational services to children, adolescents and young adults, who have been clinically assessed and diagnosed to be autistic. At present, there are about fifteen (15) persons, who are all males between the ages of 12 to 35 years in the facility. (It should be noted that research has shown that Autism Spectrum Disorders affect more male children than females).
Alba Home empowers individuals with Autism through education, skill-building, and research, promoting dignity and a better quality of life.
