“BeBOTS” stands for “Beyond Building On The Spectrum” – it conceptualises the vision of its founders to assist and elevate individuals with Autism to grow into independent, wholehearted and true people.
Autism is known as a “spectrum” condition because there is a wide variety in the type and severity of challenges people experience. At BeBOTS, we celebrate our young adults to build on that spectrum.
With our BeBOTS Hub, a purposed-designed premises, we have a location to create a safe environment for our members. This will allow us to nurture them while focusing on enhancing and enabling their skills. Our aim will be to see these special individuals achieve a better life experience.
Meanwhile, we guide and empower our special needs young adults to jump across the unknown chasm between their schooldays and their potential working life.
Our young adults will be known as the BOTSquad. Here at BeBOTS begins their journey…
“There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do.”
~ Temple Grandin

BeBOTS was founded by us, as parents, passionate to help young autistic individuals continually build on the spectrum. With first-hand experiences, we saw a huge need to support these special folks – our Squad Members – navigate from school to working life. We created an environment where our Squad Members undergo professional coaching and training in soft job skills, character building and on-the-job training; focused towards creating autistically happy and independent people in community.
