The Five Project Brings Autism Awareness to China

The Five Project, founded by Helen McCabe, is determined to bring awareness and understanding of autism to China. McCabe was studying in China a number of years ago when she met a young woman with autism and few life skills. McCabe worked with her and her parents; now the young woman has a job, and her parents work in the community helping and supporting other parents with autistic children. The Five Project has expanded on this model and presents workshops in China to educate professionals, teachers, and parents in sensory integration, inclusion, and early intervention. Many of the workshops are video-taped and the DVDS are made available, in Chinese, to be given to anyone who requests it.
