Amani Ahmad

I am Amani and I have just turned 12 years old.  I have severe Autism, PICA , severe learning difficulties, anxiety, OCD, sensory processing difficulties and hypermobility. I use an iPad to communicate my needs as I can't speak.  My mum supports me with my daily life. I am very obsessed with foods and recently gained a lot of weight and my parents want to make my home a safer place for my behaviour and help me gain the right facilities in my home. I wish to reach my best as I want all the opportunities like my peers.

Message from parents below.

We dream of giving Amani the best chance in life and an opportunity to flourish, thrive and develop just like her peers. We want to prove to everyone that she can learn just like everyone else, she just needs a different approach and more individualised support to meet her needs. Amani is our youngest of four. After receiving her diagnosis at the age of 3 years, I learned that there was nothing available for my daughter’s needs through the NHS or the education system.

To have the best chance to achieve her full potential, she required a tailoredteaching/treatment available for her and this includes occupational therapy and speech and language therapy daily. We decided for Amani when she was diagnosed at age of 3 years with Autism to have a very intensive teaching/treatment programme to help her overcome her difficulties so she can one day lead a life of some independence and reach her best. Amani is fully home educated with her 1:1 tutors. She requires a suitable inside work room/play room/ sensory area (outbuilding )to learn in and a garden that she can enjoy, so she can get the right balance of exercise, freedom. Amani requires a room away from the inside of the house so she can have her home back. This will help reduce her behaviours and anaxity too. As it will give her space to enjoy and learn which is separated from the house that she can call her room with view.

We appericiate any support you can give in helping Amani to reaching her dreams.
