Centers Established to Support the Social Inclusion of Children with Disabilities

The public-serving NGO “Autism Journey” is currently providing educational, health, and developmental services to more than 40 children. Since its establishment in 2022, the organization has been working to comprehensively support children with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities in achieving full and equal participation in social life.

Ms. L. Munkhzul, State Secretary of the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection, became acquainted with the activities of the center. Starting this year, children who are unable to attend schools or kindergartens due to disabilities have been able to access the services of support centers funded by the state budget.

At present, six centers in Ulaanbaatar and one in the provinces are operating with government funding. A total of MNT 6.8 billion has been allocated from the state budget for support center services. The General Authority for Persons with Disabilities is responsible for organizing the selection of service providers.
