We
are Action for Autism (AFA): the pioneering, national and non-profit
autism society of India. We provide support and services to persons
with autism and those who work with them in South Asia. Founded in 1991,
we are a parent organisation that works from legal, medical, and educational
perspectives to "put autism on the Indian map." We are an
Indian organisation, and our efforts are focused on the needs of those
in India. At the same time, we enjoy working with autism organisations
worldwide to share information, resources and assist families and children
at a global level, and look forward to continuing our contact with families
and professionals worldwide. To more effectively orchestrate services
for the thousands of people with autism in India, we relocated to the
AFA National Centre for Advocacy Research and Training in 2006.
Welcome
to our website, and we hope you will enjoy learning more about autism
in India and the services available through Action for Autism. We look
forward to your comments, questions, and feedback.
Our
Vision:
A society that views the interdependence of people of
every ability
as valuable and enriching and seeks to provide equal opportunities for
all.
Our Mission:
To facilitate a barrier free environment; to empower families of persons
with autism,
and to act as a catalyst for change that will enable persons with autism
to live as fully participating members of the community.
