New decree on autism integration in kindergartens
Today, the Official Gazette of the Tunisian Republic published Order No. 192, which sets out the terms and procedures for benefiting from the National Program for the Integration of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder into Kindergartens. The program includes children aged 3 to 6 years who are enrolled in kindergartens and is financed from the budget of the Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and the Elderly. The order stipulates the provision of a monthly grant to kindergartens and contracted specialists, with the amount to be determined later by a joint order. Additionally, a regional committee will be established in each governorate to assess eligibility requests. The program began in April 2023 with the aim of integrating children with autism into educational institutions. It has led to an increase in beneficiaries from 314 to over 740 children by 2025, with estimates indicating approximately 200,000 children with autism spectrum disorder in Tunisia. The initiative emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and community support.
