We are pleased to share that two Info Days of the AiM | Autism in Motion project were successfully held in Portugal!

📍 The first event took place at the Escola Superior de Educação de Coimbra (ESEC) on 5 December 2025, bringing together a diverse group of educators, youth workers, higher education teachers and a parent. This rich mix fostered valuable cross-sector discussions and strong engagement around the project’s goals and future impact.

📍 The second event was hosted at APPDA Coimbra’s Training Centre on 14 January 2026, involving a specialised multidisciplinary team working directly with autistic children. This session provided a highly focused environment to explore the practical application of the project’s tools.

Across both events, participants showed great interest and commitment, reinforcing the relevance of AiM in supporting inclusive educational practices.

On Thursday, 19 February, the online presentation of AiM – Autism in Motion successfully took place under the auspices of the Directorate of Primary Education of Western Thessaloniki.

The strong attendance and the genuine interest expressed by educators and parents highlighted the growing need for innovative, inclusive approaches that support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The discussion that followed was dynamic and inspiring, with thoughtful questions and meaningful dialogue about how AiM can promote healthy habits, autonomy, and well-being for children on the spectrum.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to such a powerful and encouraging event. 💜

Together, we move toward a more inclusive future.

We are excited to share that the recent information session for the AIM - Autism in Motion Program of the Directorate of Primary Education of Western Thessaloniki was completed with great participation and strong interest.

During the event, the program was thoroughly presented, highlighting its vision, goals, and the opportunities it offers. Participants had the chance to ask questions, engage in meaningful discussion, and gain a clear understanding of how the AIM Program can support and empower the educational community.

🙏 We would like to warmly thank everyone who attended and contributed to this productive and interactive session. Your interest and engagement are what drive the success of initiatives like AIM.

Stay tuned for more updates!

🎄☃️The Holiday Season looks different for everyone — and that’s okay ☃️🎄

For many children with autism, the festive season can be exciting, yet overwhelming.
Bright lights, loud music, crowded rooms, and changes in routine may feel like a lot.

🌟This Holiday Season, families can support their children by:
🎁keeping familiar routines where possible
🎁offering quiet spaces during celebrations
🎁respecting sensory needs (lights, sounds, textures)
🎁allowing children to engage and participate in their own way

At Autism in Motion, we believe inclusion starts with understanding — at home, in schools, and in our communities.

🎄Season’s greetings from the AiM family!
