World Autism Awareness Month 2022

April is always a special month here in EAP Malaysia. With World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) falling on the 2nd of April, we celebrate World Autism Awareness Month (WAAM) every April, with an exciting lineup of activities and events aimed to raise awareness throughout the month. This year, we organised a series of activities including a WAAD Premiere online webinar, Social Media Campaigns, Autism Awareness Campaigns, as well as collaborated with external parties to raise awareness on autism! We are thankful to the efforts from all parties involved in reaching out and raising awareness on autism among the community. With that, here are some highlights of WAAM 2022!

Internal Celebrations

With blue as the colour of autism, both our centres at EAP Bangsar and Sunway were fa-blue-lously decorated according to the WAAM theme!

We also had WAAD activities for our kiddos! Look how much fun they had!

Not forgetting our team of dedicated therapists – the heroes behind-the-scenes who pour out their hearts every day to make a difference in the lives of the children!

WAAD Premiere Webinar

During the WAAD premiere webinar, we also launched our 2022 Kindness Campaign Video, telling the story of hope of a family with 4 children, 2 of whom are on the autism spectrum, as well as our brand new website!

Social media campaigns

EAP continued to run social media campaigns to raise awareness and acceptance on autism! 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have jumped on board to support and raise awareness on autism through your social media platforms. Check out some of the awe-inspirational posts we had this year:

Autism Awareness Campaigns

One of the most exciting events would be the Autism Awareness Campaigns that we conduct in schools and corporate settings. This year, we collaborated with schools and corporate organisations, where we gave talks in an attempt to spread awareness on autism.
