2017 Gratitude Report

2017 GRATITUDE REPORT

GLOBALAUTISMPROJECT.ORG

DID YOU KNOW? There are 70 million people living in this world with autism.

85% of the global autistic population live in developing countries.

Over 90% of adults with autism are under- or unemployed -everywhere.

Education is not accessible for most people with autism.

Unemployed adults with autism have higher rates of total or complete isolation than other people with disabilities.Â

WE BELIEVE...

Education is a human right.

Everyone can learn, and should have access to the tools they need to be successful.

We can cultivate accepting, empowering communities for all people with autism.

WE BELIEVE...

We can change the world together; and we can start right now.

WELCOME

Welcome!

Hello and Happy 2018!

Wow, what an incredible year we have in store here at the Global Autism Project. In 2018, we’ll be celebrating 15 years of work! Fifteen years of first words, of learning independent self-care skills, learning academic skills, and fifteen years of autism acceptance.

I remember walking into that center in Ghana back in 2003 and feeling both simultaneously overwhelmed and overjoyed. It was there that I met some of the most passionate, dedicated teachers I’d ever met. I remember it partially because it was one of those turning point moments in my life, one in which I made a decision that no child should ever live without access to services because of where they were born, but also because I continue to meet the most passionate and dedicated staff serving kids with autism all over the world.

Over the past fifteen years, we’ve seen time and time again that the people who know the most about the needs of kids with autism are the local members of communities around the world. And those local professionals are the staff I'm talking about -- the passionate world-changers and advocates.

While the magnitude of our work and the global need remains overwhelming at times, the work is more than worth it and we absolutely love what we do. We’ve created systems, processes and, more importantly, a dedicated community of people who are willing to travel across the world to share their skill set and work with the local professionals to create real, sustainable change.

This movement is about more than one SkillCorps member or one local partner, it’s about a global community, about all of those efforts coming together to create lasting, sustainable change.

I discussed this concept of doing things with others, versus for others in a TEDx talk this past year. In the talk I discussed that when we do things for others, we strip them of their autonomy and increase their dependence on our support. The Global Autism Project is actively working ourselves out of a job everywhere we go. Our training is designed to build local capacity and create sustainable change. What we mean by that is that our model makes it possible for the centers we work with to exist long after we’re gone. It’s a model that not only creates local jobs, but decreases dependence on outside support as well. We’re pretty excited about it and we are thrilled to have your support making it possible.

Together, we’re changing the world for countless individuals on the autism spectrum across the globe.

We are training teachers, preparing parents, and empowering autistic youths throughout the world. In the years to come, we hope to keep doing what we love. We thank you all so much for your support these past fifteen years, and with luck and fortitude, we hope to do even better in the future.

WHAT'S INSIDE MISSION + VISION OUR STORY PROGRAMS HOW THE MODEL WORKS SUSTAINABILITY 2017 AT A GLANCE KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS FIELD SPOTLIGHT OUR COMMUNITY OUR TEAM WHAT'S TO COME FINANCIALS GRATITUDE

OUR VISION We envision a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential, no matter where they live.

OUR MISSION We promote the acceptance and integration of individuals with autism worldwide, by training communities in culturally relevant, sustainable practices.

OUR STORY

we'll start in Ghana...

The Global Autism Project began when one therapist traveled to Ghana to work with one student. The plan was for her to stay until the family could find a local therapist, but what she found instead was a lack of trained teachers ready to take over. Faced with the shocking disparity of quality services, she decided to take action and the Global Autism Project was born.

and go all over the world.

What began in Ghana is now a global movement for change, promoting the acceptance of individuals with autism across all borders. We believe if there are quality services anywhere, there can and should be quality services everywhere. Our model is founded on the conviction that people local to their own community should have access to the training and resources they need to change their worlds.

HOW THE MODEL WORKS Our model is rooted in the simple belief that local people are the best people to change their own world.

We arrive in communities only if we've been invited.

We always listen to the local people. We meet them where they are, and we work with what they have. We follow the local culture, we train the local professionals, and we adapt our work to meet the needs they've prioritized.

PROGRAMS Each of our programs are designed to compliment each other, with one common vision of promoting understanding and acceptance of autism. Through our three main programs, we focus on empowering the global autistic community to reach their full potential at all phases of life - from childhood to adulthood. Our International Partnership program cultivates lasting change and community outreach worldwide. SkillCorps, our volunteer teacher training program provides culturally relevant support and collaboration for service providers worldwide. And the R.A.I.S.E. program models gainful employment opportunities and nuerodiversity in the work place for autistic professionals and adults.Â

skillcorps SkillCorps is an innovative volunteer travel program which promotes collaboration, communication, and cultural consideration within the field of autism education.

partnerships By partnering with local advocates, we promote autism acceptance from the ground up.Through training and on-going support, we work to empower locals to become the voice of advocacy in their communities!

R.A.I.S.E. Our Brooklyn office is home to our gainful employment program for autistic adults called R.A.I.S.E., which promotes appreciation and empowerment of autistic professionals in businesses across the U.S.

"So I did it, I hit the submit button and never looked back. A few months later, I found myself in Kenya. I jumped into Kaizora working collaboratively with staff and fought back tears as the kids drove off on our last day at the center, forever changed by Pooja and the work of her team."

- Kelsey, SkillCorps Alum Kenya, Nicaragua and 2018 Discovery Fellowship Nominee

"I don’t know how to express myself to thank for everyone -- I think, they will always be my good friends who always care about our dream, because Rumah Tiara is our big dream. They share their knowledge and make a plan and strategies to help Rumah Tiara grow, and always make us better clinicians than before. And in the same time, they give us a positive environment to learn and encourage us to have the confidence to be who we are now. Thank you for everything."

- Hotik, Clinical Director of Rumah Tiara Partner Site in Indonesia

"I love how we cooperate as a team at Global Autism Project. Our work is fun, we have a great sense of humor, and we educate others about autism. And I really enjoy my tasks of training other people with autism in their jobs."

- Alex, Outreach Team and R.A.I.S.E. Member

OUR TEAM DID YOU KNOW? 23% of our team are Autistic professionals!

When we say we believe in a neurodiverse work space, we also believe it's our responsibility to be an example to the rest of our community.

We don't provide support for autistic professionals, we create inclusive, informed support programs alongside autistic professionals. We promote the value of autistic professionals by respecting and honoring their right to gainful employment -- it's that simple.Â

"One of the most important parts of working in a Autism-assisting workplace is having a neurodiverse staff. A great number of people in the world (myself included) are considered to have a mental disorder such as the aforementioned, Autism. This means that there are people who may learn or process information differently than other people.

They may be less social than others or have difficulty being around other people. They may not even emote like other people do. These people are considered to be neurodiverse- they do not suffer from illness or instability, they are just people who are different from others mentally. Much like how a person’s skin or eye color may vary from one person to the next, so too can our minds differ from one another. Having a neurodiverse office is thus about promoting the spread of new ideas and beliefs. More viewpoints means more ideas, and in turn leads to a better product, whatever that product may be."

- Aidan, R.A.I.S.E. Intern and self-advocate

SUSTAINABILITY LOCAL TEACHERS. LASTING CHANGE. With a model firmly rooted in sustainability, we focus on creating partnerships where both parties are truly committed to bringing quality services to their community. We never reach out to potential partners; rather, they come to us of their own accord, and submit letters of support from members in their community.

Once a new partnership is formed between the local center and Global Autism Project, the training and support begins! Throughout the 5-7 year partnership, we provide the center staff with weekly remote clinical supervision, biweekly administrative training calls, 3 annual hands-on training from SkillCorps teams, and opportunities to participate in international conferences!

DO WITH THEM, NOT FOR THEM. When we do the work with people -rather than for them, we abandon socialized assumptions. We empower and ignite potential, and we give autonomy back to the those we wish to help. Our priority is in building local capacity, not our presence. By design, partnerships are no longer in need of our support after years of collaboration. They are a center of excellence in their country! The staff are experts in the field and they are equipped to support, train and empower others in their country.

FIELD SPOTLIGHT ABA CENTRUM IN CZECH REPUBLIC In the heart of Czech Republic, our partner site is committed to changing their community's understanding of autism. By providing an innovative parent training program, the staff at ABA Centrum in Prague are providing families with the support and education they need to successfully care for their students in and outside of the school.

Using Behavior Skills Training, the teachers are working to improve caregiver procedural integrity with implementation of effective communication in the home setting. The parent support program also requires parents observe a minimum of one session per week, and includes one half-day training for all parents each month on a topic of interest concerning their individual home environment.

This ensures the students skills are generalized from ABA Centrum to the home and helps increase the amount of time the students are getting ABA exposure as they are unable to be at ABA Centrum for a full day.

K E Y PROJECTS Project: ACCEPTANCE The month of April is internationally recognized as the month of Autism Awareness. But in 2017, we decided to challenge the difference between awareness and acceptance. While many parts of the world are still very focused on increasing awareness of autism in their countries, we believe the US is ready to promote acceptance of autism nationwide. With the launch of our month long campaign called #Project:ACCEPTANCE, thousands of people joined us in this conversation!

Visual Identity In 2017, our Outreach team made a commitment to share the stories of our partners, their students, and the communities in a more impactful way. Three photographers traveled on 4 of our SkillCorps trips to collect quality photos of the incredible people we work with. These volunteer photographers provided staff headshots and family portraits for the teachers and students, and the incredible moments they've captured will tell the story of autism worldwide in a real, honest way.

OUR FUTURE

A STRATEGIC PLAN VISION: 2020 In 2017, we set goals that were bigger than ever, and we achieved them with the help of our incredible supporters! We grew our team, we launched new campaigns, and we built partnerships in new centers around the world. Our impact is greater than ever before, and 2017 clearly marked the beginning of something big for the global autistic community.

In the fourth quarter of the year, our Leadership Team created a five-year strategic plan which will kick off in 2018. We have new goals, defined objectives, and measurable outcomes. Our first milestone vision is simple: by the year 2020, the Global Autism Project will have 20 established partnerships working to become centers of excellence and experts in advocacy in their community.

Together, we will change the world for all people with autism. Together, we will achieve Vision: 2020.

INCREASE NUMBER OF PARTNERSHIPS GOAL: Increase the number of Global Autism Project partnerships by responding to 20-30 requests from people in countries across the globe over the next five years.Â

DIVERSIFY FUNDING

Increase and diversify financial support for organizational objectives, expand opportunities for investment and involvement, and develop programs for current community to become stakeholders within the Global Autism Project.

EXPAND REACH OF R.A.I.S.E Build and develop R.A.I.S.E. into a program that serves multiple organizations, regionally and internationally.

THE PATH TOÂ VISION:2020 Currently, far more than half of children with autism around the world live in communities where they have little to no access to education, therapeutic services, or basic health care. At this stage, Global Autism Project has just begun the scratch the surface of this overwhelming need.

This strategic plan will be a fiveyear program of expansion and new program development geared to increase the ability of the Global Autism Project to provide access to quality services for people with autism, to increase acceptance of people with autism in their communities through education, and to ensure the work done is sustainable.

To be successful in these efforts, the cost of funding this plan must grow and expand with our goals and the global need.

OUR GRATITUDE Year after year, our family grows and our impact sustains. This work would not be possible without the incredible people who invest their time, their passion, and their financial support in this mission. We are incredibly grateful.Â
