We are really excited that the plans for the new centre have just arrived from the architect.
The building will include a therapy room, a multisensory room (one of the first in Kenya), a training suite which can be divided to make a second therapy room, and a life skills training room.
The building will be built using plastic interlocking bricks, made from recycled plastic and so having a positive impact on the environment.
All we need to do now is to raise the funds to build it.
At Kutus Autism Centre we offer the following training
