More 100 parents of autistic children, teachers and
public officials learned the educational challenges of special-needs
kids and how to help them develop.
The July 23 workshop at Pattaya City Hall saw Deputy
Mayor Wutisak Rermkitkarn and Social Welfare Department Director Pannee
Limcharoen welcome speakers from the Chonburi Parents Club for Children
with Autism, Pattaya Autistic Life Skills Development Center and
Autistic Thai Foundation to help train the attendees.
“Based on disabled-programs registration, it’s clear
Pattaya has a number of autistic, attention-deficit and impaired
individuals who have never received medical or training services,”
Wutisak said. “Therefore, the city has provided the initial help for
parents of these children through organizing the training with full
hopes that the attendees will have learnt and will implement their
knowledge in creating activities to correctly and fully restore the
potential of the autistic children including creating an understanding
and the right attitudes towards autistic individuals.”
