The Autism Early Support Centre

The Autism Early Support Centre, previously the Puzzle Centre in Middle Claydon, provides support to children from 2-12 years old and their families. One of only a few in this country to do this ground-breaking and much valued work, the charity turned to Rotary recently to help fund the purchase of some specially programmed tablets. These can really help youngsters who are struggling with communicating. Tracey Jago, fund-raising manager, came to talk to Buckingham Rotary and they were so impressed with the potential of this that they secured just over £2,000 funding to buy some for immediate use by the children. Pictured are Rotarians Trevor Bluck and Chris Wardale presenting the cheque to Tracey at the centre recently. 

President Howard Mordue said, “We usually think of IT as restricting the way we interact but, for these children, it opens up a means of communicating where they have none. We wish the Autism Early Support Centre well for the future and send our best wishes to all involved, the staff, volunteers and the families themselves.”
