"I’m Maya Pandt. The JTL Autism Foundation has been my passion project, born from the challenges I faced as the mother of a child on the autism spectrum. Navigating the complex landscape of autism support services and advocating for my son's needs within the educational system proved to be an uphill battle. Frustrated by the lack of resources and understanding, I embarked on a journey to create a positive change not only for my son but for all individuals and families affected by autism in our community.
My personal struggle served as the catalyst for the inception of the JTL Autism Foundation. Recognizing the dire need for increased awareness and support for autism in our region, I gathered a dedicated team of professionals with expertise in autism spectrum disorders. Together, we are committed to educating the public, eradicating stigma, and providing vital resources and assistance to individuals with autism and their families.
The mission of JTL Autism Foundation goes beyond mere advocacy; it is a call to action for our community to come together in solidarity and compassion. We believe that every individual, regardless of their neurodiversity, deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. Through our initiatives, we aim to bridge the gap between knowledge and understanding, empowering both parents of children with autism and the wider community to embrace diversity and inclusion.
As Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas wisely said, "If they can’t learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn." At JTL Autism Foundation, we are committed to embracing this philosophy by offering innovative and tailored approaches to support and education. We firmly believe that with the right guidance and assistance, individuals on the autism spectrum can not only succeed but excel in their endeavors.
By joining forces with JTL Autism Foundation, you are not just supporting a cause; you are becoming part of a movement dedicated to creating a brighter, more inclusive future for all. Together, let us educate, empower, and advocate for individuals with autism, ensuring that they are recognized, valued, and celebrated for their unique contributions to our society."
