Yesterday, TAASC proudly hosted an inclusive storytelling event led by our skilled Speech and Language Therapist, Christina Gauci. Children embarked on a magical quest to discover the voice stone (using crafts, maps, and turn-taking along the way) celebrating each child’s unique way of communicating and highlighting the power of diverse voices.

At TAASC we are passionate about creating inclusive spaces that empower children to communicate confidently and connect meaningfully with their communities. All proceeds from this event will support The Malta Trust Foundation's vital work in supporting families to access communication devices.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated SLP team at TAASC, who volunteered countless hours to organise this wonderful afternoon, and to Remedies for their support in promoting the event.

To the families who joined us, you made this event truly special. We were also deeply honoured to welcome Her Excellency Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca to our premises.

Stay connected with us for more inspiring events and supportive programmes designed to make a lasting impact.

As healthcare professionals, we must base our advice on robust scientific evidence, not speculation. Current scientific understanding shows that autism is primarily hereditary in nature and not caused by specific medications.

Expectant mothers in Malta are being urged not to panic after US President Donald Trump claimed earlier this week that taking paracetamol during pregnancy could cause autism. Speaking from the White House, Trump said doctors would soon be advised to limit Tylenol – the US brand name for paracetamo...

Last Wednesday, we held our September CPD Café, featuring Prof. Nigel Camilleri and Dr. Roberto Galea in a highly engaging and informative session on psychopharmacology and the use of medicines in mental health treatment.

Following from the valuable feedback of all the participants we have agreed to plan a new CPD Café on medicines with a specific focus on the treament of neurodevelopmental disorders, so stay tuned!

A sincere thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and leaving us with valuable new understandings.
We also extend our gratitude to all participants, whose thoughtful questions and contributions enriched the discussion and brought the conversation to life.

Follow us as we will soon be providing details of our next CPD Café in November!
