Tomorrow night (25 May at 7:30pm), nonspeaking Autistic activist Zekwande Mathenjwa will be spelling his story at an online event. 😊

If you are a healthcare professional who serves Autistic people, especially nonspeaking or minimally speaking Autistic people, this event is not to be missed. Zekwande's life story will help inform the recommendations that you make for your Autistic clients.

If you are a parent, caregiver, educator or interested member of the public, you will gain a new perspective on nonspeaking Autism.

*2x ethics CPD points* will be awarded to healthcare professionals who attend.

*Agenda*

1. Introductions
2. Zekwande Mathenjwa shares his life story
3. Human rights based approach to disability, with a focus on nonspeaking Autism (Zekwande, Marc and Nicola of the Zekwande Foundation)

Please share:

Recently, we met with the founder of a local Autism Association who is providing support to the underprivileged areas in our community. This wonderful woman goes out into the impoverished areas and provides support at her own cost. Sometimes she runs out of data and has to go and sit at a restaurant, just to be able to continue providing the much-needed support.

We are therefore making a request for the following, to support their organization: If anyone knows of a cell phone / internet company who would be able to provide this person with an unlimited data package, please contact us at [email protected]

"Love is everywhere. Some people choose to fight it out of fear. I choose to embrace it. I love to advocate for nonspeakers. I am dedicating my life to the cause." - Zekwande Mathenjwa

Let February be the month of love and collaboration.
We are hosting group sessions for spellers age 16+ and adults! (All spelling levels are welcome)
9+10 February 2023 from 9am-12 pm at our new offices in Garsfontein Pretoria.
Unable to make it in person? Feel free to "zoom" in.
Call/ WhatsApp: 084 400 5350 to book your spot!

Let’s please share and support this cause. There are so many nonspeakers in Africa who deserve the basic human right of communication!

Zekwande:

“Fear is the obstacle that stands between people and their biggest dreams. Do not hold onto fear. Leave it in 2022 and chase your dreams. We have one life, let’s live it well. 2023. You are our year and we embrace you in anticipation.”
