Built on years of practical work.
The Centre continues Inkluzioni’s work in inclusive education, speech therapy and early childhood intervention.
Speech therapy in schools
Intensive interventions were delivered at Thimi Mitko, Selami Hallaqi, Musa Zajmi and Abaz Ajeti schools with local and international support.
Early-intervention pilot
Across five pre-schools and two schools, 250 children with communication difficulties were identified and more than 1,000 sessions delivered.
The “Ana” Centre
The Centre was established in January and became fully operational in February as a sustainable, community-based response.
Why “Ana”?
A story that placed families at the centre.
The Centre is named after Ana, a 17-year-old girl diagnosed with autism. Her journey and her mother’s extraordinary dedication inspired Inkluzioni’s work and the development of programmes grounded in the real-life challenges families experience.
Access and impact
Less financial pressure. More opportunity.
A private speech-therapy session costs approximately EUR 20, with children typically requiring 2–3 sessions each week. At its current capacity, the Centre saves families an estimated EUR 4,000 every month.
