Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) has announced their 2024 Autism Program, themed “A Spectrum of Possibilities.” This program promotes inclusivity, self-advocacy, and empowerment for people with autism.
The theme reflects GTCO’s commitment to diversity and creating a society where everyone can thrive. It acknowledges the unique strengths and challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum.
The GTCO Autism Program, a leading initiative in Africa, offers support and resources to those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This year’s program will feature lectures, discussions, and performances showcasing the talents within the autism community. It will also provide a platform for families and caregivers to connect with experts and share experiences.
The program takes place in Lagos, Nigeria on July 15th and 16th at the Muson Centre. Free consultations will be available from July 17th to 20th at the Chapel of Christ the Light. In Ghana, a workshop kicks off on July 23rd at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, followed by consultations from July 23rd to 27th at the same venue.
Commenting on the 2024 GTCO Autism Program, Mr. Segun Agbaje, Group Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, stated: “Everyone has something special to offer, and we want to help individuals with autism succeed and lead healthy, supportive lives. By embracing autism as a strength, and not a weakness, we can help individuals with ASD find their passion, develop skills, and make meaningful impact in society.”
He added: “We are learning more about autism every day, and we are dedicated to using that knowledge to make a positive difference. We believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life, and we are committed to making that possible; by working together, we can build a society that values diversity, promotes inclusion, and empowers everyone to thrive.”
