Activity description

ADAPA Foundation works with adults with Autism and other developmental disorders. We work in area of education, rehabilitation, social care and therapy.

The Foundation is a basis for the Occupational Therapy Workshops (OTW) that are designed to train occupational and social skills of our participants in the most practical manner. The volunteer will be able to work directly with therapists in Occupational Therapy Workshops, helping them in order to perform a safer therapy.
