MORNING STAR AUTISM CENTRE

Morning Star Autism Centre is an organisation with a purpose to cater to the development of a special facility for the benefit of children and youngsters with ASD and their families. This project will cater for the children aged between 3 and 16 normally. Given that children with ASD often require adaptations to be made to their living, learning and working environments to accommodate their challenges, the Centre will focus on full time support for ASD Children with the aim of integrating them to the mainstream society.

Morning Star Autism Centre will eventually evolve into a Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Disabilities and will be run through contributions from all sections of the society.

Morning Star Autism Centre’s intent emerges from the desire of the Sisters of St. Charles and HELP Foundation to serve Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other disabilities through the set-up of a “Rehabilitation and Research Centre”.

Internships and Volunteering opportunities are also open to all.
