The Ateneo Special Education Society, or Ateneo SPEED, is an organization that advocates for an inclusive society that provides persons with special needs (PWSN’s) access to quality special education and embraces their value as human beings. As an organization that seeks to empower the special needs sector, we collaborate with different institutions for the development of their special education programs towards self-sustainability. Every week, we go to our partner institutions and interact with PWSN’s, doing different activities such as arts and crafts, baking, playing sports and music. We also organize projects, such as a disability awareness week, a prom and a concert, that promote the involvement of the community inside and outside Ateneo in advocating for persons with special needs.Here in Ateneo SPEED, we make a difference for the different, and let them make a difference to us.
