APOSTLE CHINYERE RUNS A FREE AUSTISM AND DOWN SYNDROME SCHOOL
According to the World Health Organization, one in 160 children live with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) worldwide.
Every year, thousands of children are born with autism in Nigeria. These children with autism are not diagnosed and managed on time; hence their family and society see them as burden.
Due to the inability of the parents and most health workers to detect children with autism early, they (children) suffer great health loss; some are even denied their right to basic needs of man.
Some are isolated by their families due to the shame of having a child with intellectual/cognitive disability, while some suffer from the menace of cultural beliefs, superstitions and myths as they are being called witches, imbeciles, fools as well as neglect and stigmatisation among others.
This are some of the reasons the OPM Foundation decided to setup and run a free school for special needs in Nigeria. The OPM free school for children born with Autism and Down syndrome has broken record as the only autistic and down syndrome free school in the world.

Hope House School in Abuja charges 350,000 per term, Joyuousjoy International Private School in Abuja charges N180,000 per term while Nafuowl Academy, Lugbe in Abuja charges N150,000 per term.
In a research carried out in Lagos, Marigold Specialist school, Patrick Speech Academy, Ava Academy School and Reapville schools all charge between N350,000 to N400,000 per term.
In Canada, various autism and down syndrome schools such as Whytecliff Agile learning centre, Langley British Columbia charges from 8,900 Dollars to 19,500 dollars per term , Applewood Academy for progressive learning Belleville, Ontario charges 28,944 dollars and 83,937 dollars per year.
