UK rap legend Giggs has co-founded a groundbreaking specialist school and assessment centre for neurodivergent children
Um, and basically about his sort of his, um, philanthropy.
He's, um, co-founded a specialist, um, school, um, for autistic children in Kent.
Um, very kind.
He said, "The world is a mess.
I need to do something." The press was sort of inspired rap star Giggs to start special needs school.
This is in, uh, quote too.
Um, and yeah, it talks about, um, Giggs himself, um, was diagnosed with autism and his-- both his son and his daughter are autistic.
He was on Newsnight, um, last year talking about the struggle he had to get a diagnosis for his daughter.
And, um, the next day I think that she, she received a EHCP, so.
Uh, it says, "Giggs, 45, has teamed up with educational charity, OMG Foundation, to launch St. John's House, a sanctuary school for people-- school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, SEND, and those with terms of provision in Greater London.
We couldn't get any diagnosis.
He wasn't getting the support and the assistance he needed." So that's, um...
It says, yeah, the former business officer is now having immersed into a 75-pupil school.
It says, "The Be- Beckham boy musician has four children, including his newborn.
All three older kids are autistic.
His eldest son, the rapper ML, was diagnosed more than a decade ago in his early teens." It says, "Last year, the father and son duo had a joint track about living with autism called 'Motion.'" Um, it says, "At the time I read ML's diagnosis and thought, 'This is what-- this, this is me as well,'" recalls Giggs.
It says, "So I went to get assessed and it was just a man and woman in a room with a notepad and a form.
This is bullshit.
How the fuck have they gotten to know I was an autistic or not? After 40 minutes, I walked out.
Didn't hear anything.
Then 10 years later, I was in doctor's and he looked at my notes and said," it says, says, "Yeah, you're autistic." And I was like, "Is he?" 'Cause I didn't even know.
It says, um, "Glad to learn that his son knows he's consulted with his partner to obtain double EHCPs, and education and health care plans, EHCPs, for his son and his daughter by now." It says, "He's extremely mental news, and as I mentioned, um, to eradicate his state and, um, his, um, his son was given EHCPs the next day." It says, "Yet this wasn't an avenue for most parents struggling with a difficult or practicing system.
Finally starting the parent recently claimed his struggle with helping guiding the system is welcome and pledge greater assistance for parents of special needs attempting to navigate the, um, difficulties Giggs had.
He gave these crucial assessments with his children and was firmly motivated for his son to be purchased in St. John's House.
