A SUPPORT GROUP OF PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH INTELLECTUAL &DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES, BASED IN GOA Towards Inclusion Everywhere in Society more about us

TIES(Towards Inclusion Everywhere in Society)

TIES was started as a support group for parents but has since evolved into an organisation that is structured to provide a range of support services to parents, children, adults with Autism and intellectual disabilities i.e. neurodiverse individuals and communities. The underlying philosophy is inclusion. At the core, the organization and its members are committed to work towards creating a society that acknowledges and accepts the community of people with special needs.

BACKSTORY OF TIES

In 2003, a special educator named Giselle Lobo, brought together a group of parents who had young children with special needs in North Goa. This included children with Autism, Down syndrome and other moderate to severe challenges. Together they started a programme which introduced a Resource Room to impart life skills for special needs/neurodiverse children who attended regular schools. This was the beginning of the concept of inclusion where children with special needs were integrated into mainstream schools in Goa. TIES was formally registered as a society in 2010.
