Autism Children Foundation

Express and share your worries with family and friends. It is not a shame having an autistic kid !

Open and seek for advice and help. Do not shoulder all the burden

Join parent mutual help groups to share experience

Keep an open mind on different treatment methods, study and evaluate their effectiveness

Get proper evaluations from doctors and professionals experienced with ASD but should not be afraid to trust your parent instinct about what your child needs

Use a treatment plan that is intensive, consistent and cost effective. A few hours per week only will usually yield slow results

Study and learn treatments and strategies diligently.

And parents please do not :

We believe and advocate prevention, detection, early intervention and recovery. Educational therapies and biomedical options available today are much better than in past decades, and they should be much better in the future. However, it is often up to parents to find those services, determine which are the most appropriate for their child, and ensure that they are properly implemented. Parents are a child's most powerful advocates and teachers. With the right mix of interventions, most children with autism will be able to improve. As we learn more, children with autism will have a better chance to lead happy and fulfilling lives.

The following directory of services is compiled with the intention of letting our parents know what services are available. The services or treatment programs are not listed in any particular order and they are not necessarily recommended by ACF.

We are also constantly updating this list and if anyone has any contact they feel may be useful to other parents, please let us know.

Treatment options/services include:-

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
