Thursday the 21st of November 2019 the new spaces dedicated to the autism pilot action of the Salute-Zdravstvo project were inaugurated. The spaces are intended for the treatment of Italian and Slovenian children with autism spectrum disorders in the territory of the EGTC GO.

This is an innovative method of treating children specifically aimed for small children, aged between 18 and 48 months, and is among the most effective in the world. The spaces have been renovated and furnished according to the requirements of the treatment of autistic children with the ESDM method. The total value of the investment, which includes the renovation of the premises, equipment and educational material, is € 27,088.37 (including VAT).
