“It is also to equip parents with needed skills to actively participate in the implementation of recommended therapies outside the classroom environment,” he said.

The facilitator of the training sessions, Professor Jerry G. Petroff,  a Language and Communication Specialist from New Jersey, expressed how excited he is to help children  with special needs in Ghana.

He said the best way to assist such children is to identify developmental delays and conditions at early stages.  This, he said, will help in identifying the needed environment for the children.

Fathers are encouraged not to leave the upbringing of children with special needs in the hands of just the mothers, he said.Haven1Some participants, especially parents who have benefited from the training were grateful to the organizers for the opportunity given them to learn more about their children’s conditions.

Another group led by Prof Michele Naples from the School of Business at TCNJ visited Enablis Ghana, the African Women’s Development Fund, and the Gender Desk of the Trade Union to interact with them and learn about women’s rights in the workplace.

Whilst here, they are providing technical support to The Beyond Aid Project, a Social Enterprise on strategies to enhance the visibility of the work they do. They also provided suggestions on product lines that will do well in the US.

Haven International promotes the interest of people with autism and other intellectual disabilities in Ghana. Haven provides a one stop shop support to children and parents who need information on autism and other intellectual disabilities.
