Partnerships
Mico CARE has partnered with Skilled Connections, a not for profit organization based in the USA, to provide speech and occupational screening and therapy to clients up to eight years old, both face to face and virtually. This partnership has provided services to over 30 families in 2023. The partnership has also included training for 30 paraprofessionals, providing them with skills to support the development of language skills and functional skills in young children with developmental delays.
Our partnership with CASE has been very effective in providing targeted support for parents of children with autism through virtual parent coaching sessions. To date, over 300 Jamaican families have benefited from these sessions. Additionally, over 100 teachers have received training in strategies for accommodating students with autism in the classroom.
