Our Leaders
Caroll Heuvel
Founder
As the heart and driving force behind Aboutdis, Caroll Heuvel draws her inspiration from her personal journey as a mother of a child with autism. Her determination to create a better world for her child and others on the autism spectrum led her to establish the Autism Talent Ontwikkel Centrum (ATOC) foundation. A visionary and advocate for change, Caroll's unwavering commitment gave rise to a school in Suriname where children with autism receive tailored education from trained teachers and various therapists.
Caroll's deep understanding of the needs of parents and caregivers has driven her to foster a sense of community through Aboutdis. Having walked the path herself, she recognizes the importance of connecting with others who share similar experiences. Additionally, as a traveler, Caroll seeks to make the world more accessible by identifying autism-friendly spots, creating an inclusive space for her daughter and others alike.
