Our Purpose
Our purpose is to improve understanding, care and support for autistic children and families in Cambodia by building the knowledge, confidence and practical skills of professionals working directly within the community.
Our
Story
Transform Autism Care Cambodia (TACC) was registered in July 2021 as a community interest company ( registered number 13494424). It was established as an international arm of Daisy Chain Project, Stockton. Daisy Chain is a well established UK charity providing support for children with autism and their families through its specialist staff and facilities. TACC can draw on the expertise from Daisy Chain Project.
Method of Working
TACC provides specialists in autism care to visit Cambodia once a year for a period up to 2 weeks. Through established links with the organisations requesting specialist skills a plan for training is jointly developed and delivered by TACC staff to Khmer colleagues. Joint development of training plans allows UK staff to take into account cultural differences. TACC and Cambodian staff respect each other as equals learning from each other.
