It's a sigh of relief for parents raising autistic children following the launch of a state-of-the-art autistic centre in Nanyuki, Laikipia County.

The facility, which is one of its kind in the Mount Kenya region, is expected to cater to the needs of autistic children, including speech therapy, orthopaedic therapy and a sensory unit, among others, aimed at ensuring they live a productive and healthy life.

Tumaini St.

Thorlak Autism Centre which was launched on Monday by Nyeri Diocese Bishop Anthony Muheria, is funded by well-wishers and other partners.
