Today, people across the US gather to celebrate Juneteenth (short for "June 19"). In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation formally announced the end of slavery in the US. However, news of the end of slavery took years to spread. The announcement did not reach over 250,000 remaining enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, until June 19, 1865.
Juneteenth is a time of celebration, but it is also a reminder that freedom is an ongoing process. On this holiday, we reflect on injustices in our nation's history and in the present day. We recommit ourselves to pushing for equality and justice for all.

: "On International Mental Health Day, October 10, IRODA held the opening ceremony of the educational and therapeutic center for children with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders called ASpectrum+.
Muhammad received an autism diagnosis late and began classes in September 2023, in the daily program of the educational and therapeutic center.
After 2 months, Muhammad stopped using tantrums to communicate and he acquired skills of cooperation with adults, emotional regulation, and social interaction. After 9 months, he began to fulfill the requests and commands of teachers and relatives. Predictability in the form of a visual schedule of daily activities helps him understand what is happening, plan, and understand the sequence of actions and events.
Muhammad began to use simple gestures and cards to communicate. He also earned to use objects with both hands to perform various tasks with the help of physical prompts.
Muhammad still has a long learning path ahead, but the most important thing is that his learning path has begun."
