The Îles d’Or elementary school in Hyères inaugurated an Elementary Autism Teaching Unit (UEEA) on Friday, November 6, 2026, a program for children aged 6 to 10 with autism spectrum disorders.

In the presence of Raphaëlle Carrassan, deputy delegate for education and youth, and Virginie Kiss, municipal councilor for inclusion, the establishment unveiled this new initiative. The goal is to offer adapted learning, develop children's autonomy, and promote their inclusion within the mainstream school.
Supported by the UGECAM group, in partnership with the Paca Regional Health Agency and the National Education system, this unit currently hosts six students. The City supports its implementation by providing and adapting premises, as well as mobilizing its teams during lunchtime.

A collective commitment to allow every child to learn, grow, and find their place at school.
