He cannot speak, he expresses himself through sounds. You can hear from the intonation whether he likes something or not. He also uses gestures to make things clear. For example, shaking his head no if he doesn't want something or clapping his hands if he likes something. If you ask him something, his first reaction is often no, but if you ask him again, he often wants to. If you insist too much, he can sometimes get irritated. When you meet Theo, the management can give you tips on how to deal with this. Theo understands spoken sentences, for example if you ask him at the table what he wants on his bread, he can point to the topping. If he does not understand something, questions are clarified with objects/gestures or by taking him to what you want from him. He eats and drinks independently. Theo likes to help with household chores such as setting the table and loading and unloading the dishwasher. He also likes to participate in activities outside and he likes to watch television and enjoys the compliments he receives when he has done something (well).

Activities for young people with autism

Stichting De Kempen Specials are young people with normal abilities and a form of autism who chill together and do outdoor activities. We call them the TEENS (Ages 13-20). We always have room for enthusiastic people or students who do social studies to devise and supervise these activities. This is certainly interesting if you are interested in a future in social care. We expect you to be open to this special target group and it is nice if you dare to take the initiative yourself to make contacts, come up with activities and work together with the supervisors to make something fun out of it every time. to make. The TEENS meet twice a month on Sunday afternoons. One time to chill and the other time for a fun activity. You can see what we mean for this target group. We see beautiful contacts arise and their self-confidence grows! This offers the participants a good basis to dare to enter into contact with other young people on a regular basis. It is important to report that you do NOT have to be PRESENT EVERY TIME. We make a “service list” in advance. And you can always trade! After the social study, a supervisor remained as a call force because she likes the club so much! Look for inspiration and information on our website.

Member of the archaeological study group

Heemkundige Studiekring "De Acht Zaligheden"

Are you interested in the history of our villages? Want to learn more about how the land was used in the past? How people lived there and what historical remains of the activities of our former inhabitants can still be found in the soil? Then becoming a member of the archeology working group of HSK De Acht Zaligheden might be something for you! Archaeological research is regularly required during new construction and excavation work, because there are many historical remains in the soil in our municipality. To prevent the information from this soil archive from being lost unnoticed, it is important to document this through an archaeological investigation. This way, this information will also be accessible in the future to other researchers and to our posterity. We attach great importance to that. A special working group has therefore been set up that could still use reinforcement. Interest and commitment are more important than experience. If you would like to know more about the activities of this working group, please contact Winfried from the HSK De Acht Zaligheden. This can be done directly, via the link above and via the support center.

Refugee working group Eersel is looking for new members

Gemeente Eersel

Workgroup Refugee Work Eersel helps beneficiaries and refugees with their integration into the municipality of Eersel. The volunteers of the working group support them in various areas. Think of showing you the way, being a buddy or offering administrative support. When assisting beneficiaries with civic integration, the aim is often naturalization. In addition, the working group also supports (Ukrainian) refugees who are currently being taken care of by the municipality of Eersel. As a volunteer you understand the situation in which the status holder finds himself. Finding your way in a completely new environment without a social network is quite a task. Especially if you have little or no command of the language. Kindness and patience are important qualities for a volunteer. Does this appeal to you, are you flexible and do you have a minimum of 4 hours available each week to supervise status holders? Please contact us. We would like to meet you to discuss the possibilities.
