As part of its determination to create robust awareness and take proactive action, Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc is addressing cases of people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder in On-on-One consultation clinic.
With Clinicians, behaviourial psychologists, Language therapists, Educators, Professionals and Caregivers converge on Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa Secretariat, Lagos from July 17th to 19th, 2025 to attend to autistic individuals.
With a mission to speak up for those whose voices are often unheard, and to help foster a word where every person’s value shines through, GTCO has stood up in the past 15 years advancing autism inclusion.
“We especially stand by and stand up for individuals who have been dealt a different hand, particularly those living with autism, by helping them overcome the barriers of daily life.
In the last 15 years, GTCO has provided over 5000 children with access to one-on-one consultations with leading Medical professionals, have provided training for over 15,000 people on how to better manage autism.
With unlimited opportunities, its theme for the year: “From Awareness To Action” has resonated, creating more involvement of parents, who before now, keep their ASD children away from exposure to the general public.
With GTCO brazing the trail, the journey has just begun, and according the Group Chief Officer, Mr Segun Agbaje in his remarks during the conference, it is like “a relay marathon. Aware is the starting line, action is the race.”
