AUTISM ASSOCIATES is an
organization founded by Psychologist Okey-Martins
and a group of therapists and parents of children
with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and related
developmental disabilities in Nigeria. |
| |
|
The primary goal of Autism
Associates is early detection, intervention and
integration of young children and adults with ASD in
Nigeria. We are deeply convinced that there is hope
and help for individuals living in the autism
spectrum and that such hope and help can be made
available in Nigeria. Persons with developmental
disabilities particularly autism spectrum disorders
are at the short end of the stick in our country,
where services are minimal and in critical shortage.
Autism Associates emerged as one of the few services
to bridge the gap in service availability for this
neglected community. |

Individuals with ASD are not
burdens and hopeless economic liabilities as is
wrongly believed by some people. In fact, they can
be cute, wonderful and resourceful persons, who like
everyone else, are simply different. Each individual
is unique, has unique potentials and we of Autism
Associates are committed to helping each person
reach his or her fullest potentials. |
