Blow for Jamaica’s autistic children
EXACTLY four years after it was launched to help children diagnosed with autism, the Maia Chung Autism and Disabilities Foundation (MCADF) is set to discontinue all forms of outreach activities, effective today, citing Government’s obvious disregard for those living with the mental disorder.

Chung is disappointed that despite the resources her group has pumped into keeping special needs schools functional over the years, two have been closed down while at least one more is on the brink of closure.
“When these close and there is a dearth already, what do we do then? she asked, while pointing to a lack of viable solutions and intervention from the Government.
