"The Fairy Children" is a social enterprise that since 2005 has been in charge of ensuring economic support for social inclusion projects and pathways run by associations and third sector entities, targeting children and families with autism and other disabilities, involving entrepreneurs and citizens so that they "adopt to proximity" and accompany an inclusion project over time.
WE TELL YOU HOW THE FOUNDATION WAS BORN
FRANCO AND ANDREA ANTONELLO
“When a severe disability enters the family, it’s as if an earthquake were to strike. Except it’s an earthquake that lasts a lifetime. You don’t know what to do, and no one helps you”—this is how Dad Franco describes daily life with Andrea, an unpredictable earthquake, a demanding earthquake, but one made of love.”
After learning about the world of disability and the lack of support that families must endure, he decided he had to do something: put his experience as an entrepreneur to work for social causes in a concrete and organized way... and he did something special—he created the foundation “I BAMBINI DELLE FATE.”

SOCIAL INCLUSION PROJECTS CARRIED OUT BY "I BAMBINI DELLE FATE" IN THE PROVINCE OF TREVISO
Liberamente Onlus addresses school-related distress and learning difficulties and operates in the province of Treviso with the support of “I bambini delle Fate.” It welcomes children using unconventional, non-clinical methods; the principle is not to focus on the problem but to look beyond it: there are no dyslexic or hyperactive children, but only children with different intelligences and talents, and different ways of learning.
Unfortunately, our school system has only one way of teaching, and the children who are excluded from it experience difficulty and distress. To help them, Liberamente ensures that they become aware of their strengths and focus on them. In an emotionally safe environment, through board games that are true simulations of life, they become aware of the intellectual strategies they use, the logical skills they employ, the inner dialogue they engage in, and the interpersonal skills they didn’t even know they possessed. When the children discover their unique traits, it is a joy to see them take ownership of themselves and begin to manage their emotions, situations, and relationships. Improved academic performance is merely a logical consequence.

which helps kids with forms of neurodiversity unlock potential and talents that otherwise give way to suffering and maladjustment.
