I am Angelo Justine A. Catalan, a 5th year BS Architecture student of Technological Institute of the Philippines currently taking Architectural Design 9 and working on my Capstone Design project. I am writing to request information regarding the Statistics of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Philippines and its projected number in every region. As someone deeply interested and concerned in establishing a specialized facility that will cater to special needs, I believe that comprehensive statistics are essential for informed decision-making and targeted support initiatives.
CATALAN 10:35 PM, Oct 05, 2023
I would like to request some information on the following items below for my thesis proposal. Thank you and hoping for your immediate response. The information I am seeking primarily includes:
• Statistics of Children with Disabilities or special needs in every region in the Philippines (2015-present)
• Statistics of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in every region in the Philippines (2015-present)
• Projected statistics of Children with Disabilities in the Philippines
• Projected statistics of Autism or Children with Autism in the Philippines
• Total number of SPED Centers in every region in the Philippines: Please share information regarding the accessibility of learning and school centers to these children with special needs.
I understand that compiling this information may require some time and effort, but I believe that having access to this data as soon as possible will help in devising more effective strategies and approaches to empower and elevate the Autism Community, their family and as well as their teachers/therapists in our country. Any information related to Children with ASD here in the Philippines would be a big help to my study. Thank you, your attention to this matter is highly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Angelo Justine A. Catalan
