From special education tailored to slow learners, to hands-on life-skills training, vocational training and livelihood support, our programs are built to help children and young adults with intellectual and learning disabilities to navigate and thrive in the real world.
AMC’s unique approach is not only to work with the children themselves, but importantly, with their families, providing the care-givers support, and capacity-building not only to help them understand and support their wards, but also to enhance the quality of their lives and livelihoods.
