KEPAKY has been active in the field of Autism since 2010, creating and equipping a Model Center for Employment, Care, and Therapy in Limassol. The Foundation continues to support individuals and families and has produced a Practical Guide for Individuals with Autism, updated regularly.

Overview

KEPAKY’s engagement with the autism community began in 2010 with the full creation and equipment of a Model Center for Employment, Care, and Therapy in Limassol. The center includes specialized equipment for sensory integration, supporting individuals with autism, cerebral palsy, and premature infants. Since October 2010, its operation has been managed by the Cyprus Autism Association, but KEPAKY continues to actively support the center and families.

Recognizing the limited availability of information in Cyprus regarding rights, legislation, and therapies for individuals with autism, KEPAKY created a Practical Guide for Individuals with Autism in 2011, which is regularly updated to reflect new developments.
