Multisensory Classroom for Students with ASD at Be Social

Confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that you can figure it out along the way.

The key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment; it’s starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action. Whether you’re working toward a personal milestone or a professional dream, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real.

You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more than you know. The road may not always be smooth, but growth rarely is. What matters most is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.

Why have we decided to launch the multisensory classroom now?

We felt a real sense of urgency because Laura, the physiotherapist who has been guiding us for the past two years and who specialises in working with children with functional diversity, will be coming to the field this summer. Her work will focus mainly on supporting Mr. Abdallah, but also James and Lourdes, helping them understand the best way to use the materials and giving them guidance to better understand our children.

Mr. Abdallah is truly excited about this initiative, as he does not receive any specific training or materials from the Kenyan government. He believes that this project will make his work easier and, most importantly, help his students feel and do better at school.

Working with children with ASD is a challenge—a challenge for professionals and for us as well. There is still so much to learn, but we are confident that we will be able to improve, even if only a little, the time that John, Sammy, Irungu, Fatma, Abdi and Mohamed spend at school.

If you would also like to collaborate with us—whether to help sustain the multisensory classroom or support any of our other projects—please get in touch with us and we will explain all the possible ways to help. Every contribution truly matters, and we will always strive to make the very best use of it for our children.
