The centre is located to the northern end of UTech, Jamaica Papine campus, adjacent to the Cynthia Shako Early Childhood Education & Daycare Centre. SAFACC was established against the immense global recognition of the need to improve the assessment and manage- ment of children with exceptionalities. The Centre was named in tribute to Mrs. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce who graduated from UTech, Ja. with the Bachelor of Science degree in Child and Adolescent and Development. This tribute serves as an acknowledgement of her passion and commitment to working with children and to memorialize her contribution to the Univer- sity and to Jamaica. In 2012 she was appointed the first University Ambassador of the Univer- sity of Technology, Jamaica in recognition of her demonstrated significant interest and pride in the University and as well as her high stan- dards of integrity. In November 2016, she was conferred with the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa. The services offered by SAFACC include: • Assessment of fine and gross motor skills in children ages 2 weeks to five years. • Screening, assessment and intervention of children 7 to 18 years old who may present with a range of psychological, emotional, social, educational/cognitive and devel- opmental problems. • Provision of individual and family counselling. • Referral to in-house dieticians and nutritionists for nutrition counseling and intervention. • Referral to specialists in audiology, speech and language pathology/therapy, and physiotherapy. • Assistance to parents/guardians with understanding their children’s needs and how best to support them.
