An ambitious and meaningful project

We are strengthening support and care practices in two reception structures, Kaolin and Intera, designed to meet the needs of persons presenting an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and an intellectual developmental disorder (IDD) in complex situations.

This project, which relies on mixed support, socio-educational and medico-therapeutic, wishes to become an example of good practices, a reference location where the most recent, validated, and effective approaches will be implemented.

Our ambition is clear:

• to propose very high quality support, individualized and respectful of the aspirations and needs of each resident.
• to give beneficiaries the means to develop their skills and their autonomy
• to offer professionals a solid, innovative working framework supported by a structured methodology and a solid system of training and support
• to make this structure a recognized model, called upon to inspire other projects and institutions.
