TUO Moments
A space for connection, sharing, and inclusion.
TUO Moments embody the very essence of the TUO community: a welcoming space where families, autistic children, autistic adults, and staff come together to build connections, share experiences, and enjoy meaningful moments.
A Welcoming and Inclusive Space:
Each gathering is an opportunity to get to know one another, strengthen solidarity, and feel fully integrated into a community that values inclusion. Open discussions, informal meetups, and interactive activities allow everyone to take part in community life.
A Variety of Activities for Everyone:
- Creative workshops (painting, crafts, artistic creation)
- Collaborative and fun games to encourage interaction
- Relaxation and sensory spaces for those who prefer a calm moment
- Adapted physical activities such as motor circuits and outdoor games
- Music sessions and free expression
Sharing and Networking:
The spirit of TUO Moments is rooted in sharing and mutual support. It’s an opportunity for members to meet families with similar experiences, discuss TUO services, and benefit from the guidance of facilitators. A true networking space where ideas, friendships, and enriching initiatives are born.
Discussion and Support Moments:
A special time where families and facilitators exchange around important topics such as support services, daily life, or solutions to better meet everyone’s needs.
Festive and Community-Building Moments:
TUO Moments are punctuated by special events that strengthen bonds and celebrate our community. Highlights include our traditional Christmas party—a magical day where TUO families and members gather to share a warm moment filled with laughter, music, and surprises.
Another key event dedicated to awareness: the Grand Autism Gathering and Walk, held each year in April. This event brings together people of all ages in a spirit of solidarity and inclusion, reminding us of the importance of walking together toward a more open and welcoming world.
These traditions make TUO Moments a place where joy, mutual support, and community spirit are at the heart of every gathering.
In short, TUO Moments are much more than a series of activities: they are a true living space where everyone finds their place and participates at their own pace. A community that grows together, driven by mutual support and the desire to create lasting memories.
