ASP Laguna Concludes Summer Training Program

ASP Laguna recently concluded its Summer Training Program entitled “Teaching Children with Autism,” last May 7, 2010. The 20-day intensive training began on April 12 and was participated by three mothers of children with autism.

The three mothers, Mrs. Sharon Roque of Paete, Mrs. Jane Lumbo of Sta. Rosa City and Mrs. Riza Enriquez of San Pablo City; have decided to give up work outside home to become full time caregivers of their children.

The centers which hosted this year’s observation tours and immersion classes were Hope Intervention Center, Calamba City; Paete Intervention Center for Autism and Related Disorders (PICARD); Love and Hope Intervention Center, Liliw; First Steps Intervention; Therapy Center, Calamba City; and The Learning Center, Merville, Parañaque City.
