Patrick Speech and Languages Centre (commonly called Patrick’s), is a centre that provides services for individuals with developmental disabilities through comprehensive structural support, with the mission to improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disability and to help them attain their full potential by maximising the individual skill of each child.
It is a unique centre for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Asperger Syndrome and other related developmental disabilities. The Centre was established in 2006 by Mrs. Dotun Akande after many years of frustration searching for an ideal environment for her son living with autism. The Centre commenced operations with 3 children.
The Centre is currently equipped with facilities to provide services such as Behavioural, Occupational and Speech Therapy. Patrick Speech and Language Centre has been at the forefront of increasing awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorders in Nigeria.
The centre has invested in the awareness creation and development of autism care and service delivery in Nigeria. It will celebrate its 10th anniversary on 11th September at Harbour point, VI, Lagos. Buy ticket to attend the 10th anniversary.
As part of the anniversary programme, funds will be raised for the expansion of its services by having a new site. We are a proud supporter of this cause and will encourage you to do the same. Read more about the proposed new site here and donate to support the project.
