Individual guidance
We specialize in guidance for children and young adults with autism, ADHD. We also offer guidance for children who benefit from structure or need extra guidance. We offer individual guidance to children, their parents or their teachers. The guide can offer aid in increasing self-reliance, structuring your life and coping with unexpected events. We also offer guidance for children with dyslexia, and we offer homework guidance, guidance in the classroom or at work, help with regulating emotions and psycho education. The location of the guidance depends on the specific goals for the child. We can offer guidance at home, at our facilities, or any location where help is needed. We offer custom-made care by adjusting the guidance exactly to the needs of the child.
Family guidance
When a family has a child with special needs, it reflects on the whole family. The child can go to a special school or can be receiving extra care or guidance, but most of the time some extra help in the family is very welcome. Parents always want what is best for their child, but often lack the specific knowledge that is required to guide the child through life. Children with special needs benefit from clarity and structure at home. It is beneficial for parents, the child and the rest of the family when they understand each other. Family guidance targets the whole family. We offer knowledge transfer of the specifics of the condition of the child. We also offer practical day-to-day skills for coping to what life throws at you. Next to this, we can help to structure the family agenda and be an adviser for the daily questions you run into. Guidance is custom-made based on the specific situation of the family and the child.
Group guidance
We specialize in guidance for children and young adults with autism, ADHD. We also offer guidance for children who benefit from structure or need extra guidance. We offer guidance in a small group combined with homework guidance. Next to guiding the child in doing his homework, we can also work on skills like structuring your life, increasing self-reliance, social skills, regulating emotions and other personal goals. Group guidance runs during schooldays Monday to Friday from 12:30pm/1:00pm to 5:00pm/5:30pm During holidays, group guidance is offer on request from 8:00am/8:30am to 5:00pm/5:30pm During national holidays, we are closed.
Guidance for pupils
Sometimes a pupil just needs a little bit of extra guidance and help to be successful in the education system. We can help by clarifying the daily planning, clarifying the rules at school and in the classroom, making note of the homework to be done, organizing the school stuff and doing assignments in the classroom or at home. Guidance can be done individually, at school, at home or at our facilities. We can also offer this in a group combined with homework guidance.
Guidance of teachers
Sometimes a teacher also needs some extra help or knowledge to be able to offer a pupil help. We offer psycho education for teachers, with the goal to empower them with knowledge and day-to-day tools to be able to help pupils better. We can also offer help in organizing the classroom, rules, planning or time management to be more suitable for special needs pupils. The goal is to organize the classroom in such a way that there are fewer distractions. Make the room more tranquil. We can also assist in drafting a care plan for a pupil. Guidance for teachers can be booked individually or in a group session.


Sponsoring
There are hardly any reimbursements or subsidies for autism counseling in Curaçao. However, there are children who could benefit from guidance whose families do not have the financial means to purchase this care. Huntu also wants to support the people who need help but cannot afford this themselves financially. Huntu therefore offers residents who have little or nothing to spend to purchase individual guidance, family guidance or group guidance for their child. This care is provided by professional care providers. To be eligible for this form of financing, the parents can contact huntu. There is only limited space for this form of financing and huntu wants to use it in the best ways possible. That is why the client must be able to prove that they are unable to afford our services.

What is autism?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has most often been present and noticed by parents in early childhood.
The basic problems for autism are persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction in various situations (domain A). This includes the following three characteristics. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity (1). Deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction (2). In addition, deficits in developing, maintaining and understanding relationships (3).
In addition to persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction, there must be restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities (domain B). This includes the following four characteristics. Stereotyped or repetitive motor movements, use of objects, or speech (1). Insistence on sameness, inflexible adherence to routines, or ritualized patterns of verbal or nonverbal behavior (2). Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (3). Hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment (4).
The diagnosis is made when a child meets all the characteristics mentioned in domain A and 2 of the 4 characteristics in domain B. In addition, the symptoms must be present in early childhood (domain C) and the symptoms lead to limitations and impairments in daily functioning (domain D).
Autism is a congenital disorder and in many cases is a hereditary condition. It can also develop due to genetic predisposition, depending on environmental factors. Autism is thus a congenital disorder and cannot be cured. You can learn to deal with it through guidance, treatment, training and/or information.
