Welcome to Galway Association For Mentally Handicapped Children Trust Fund, an Irish charitable trust whose identity reflects a longstanding area of charitable concern: the well-being, dignity, and inclusion of children with intellectual disabilities.
Every child is an individual, with their own personality, strengths, and aspirations. We believe that inclusion begins with listening, respecting different abilities, and helping communities recognize the value in everyone.

Inclusion is not simply about being present. It is about feeling welcomed, respected, understood, and able to participate. Families and caregivers bring important perspectives, while every person brings individual strengths and experiences.

more than a diagnosis.
Intellectual disability is a broad term relating to differences in intellectual functioning and adaptive skills. Each individual has their own strengths, needs, preferences, and experiences.
A person's identity, worth, interests, or potential cannot be defined by a disability. Respectful language and individual-centered approaches are essential to meaningful inclusion.
