Bio: Parea Charas supports children and adults with autism, intellectual disability and genetic syndromes through three complementary services, all under one roof. <br><br> Creative Activity Center (ΚΔΑΠ ΑμεΑ) A daily program for children and young people, built around play, art, music and group activities. Here they develop social skills, confidence and independence in a safe and joyful environment. Vocational Day Center (ΚΔΗΦ ΑμεΑ) A simulated work environment for adults. Participants make handcrafted products that are sold to the public, taking part in a real production process — from design to sale. The goal is meaningful work, a sense of contribution and genuine inclusion in the community. Special Therapies Center Individual and group therapies — speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychological support and special education — delivered by a multidisciplinary team, with personalised plans for every child and adult. Three paths, one community: we create, we work, we grow — together.
