Innovative Learning Community · Jeddah
A place to play, learn and belong
for autistic kids and the families who love them
Why ILC exists
When your child sees the world differently, you start looking for places where different is simply welcome.
Wed is the mother of Ibrah, an autistic teenager. Raising him in Jeddah showed her how few spaces let autistic children play, move and learn at their own pace, and how much families need someone who has walked the road.
So she built one. Innovative Learning Community brings autistic kids together for sports days, basketball days and other activities, and helps their parents open doors into school and community life.
every mind belongs
What we do
Days built for autistic kids
move, play, belong
ILC activities are made for autistic children within a set age group, announced with each activity. Small groups, patient adults and plenty of room to be themselves.
Sports days
Running, games and team play, planned so that every child can take part without pressure or overload.
Basketball days
Time on the court with friends. Passing, shooting and cheering each other on, at a pace that works for autistic kids.
Creative and social activities
Art, play and outings that build confidence, friendship and a sense of belonging.
Family guidance
You do not have to find the way alone
Wed consults families on bringing their autistic children into education and community life. Parent to parent, practical and kind.
Into school
Finding the right school setting, preparing your child, and talking with teachers about what helps.
Into community
Clubs, sport, family gatherings and public places. Small steps that make the wider world feel possible.
For the family
A parent who has been there, listening first, and sharing what she has learned with Ibrah.
