Algeria announces plans for National Center for autistic children

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has ordered the creation of a national center and regional annexes for the care of children with autism.

The statement was issued at a Council of Ministers meeting on June 1 as part of discussions on the national autism plan, according to Algerian-friendly outlet AL24 News.

The president has reportedly emphasized the importance of providing high-quality education and support, while also ensuring that children are not psychologically impacted by separation from their parents during care, though details on how this will be carried out are not yet clear.
