Hosted By

Global Autism Project



Founded in 2003, the Global Autism Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the global gap in the resources and understanding of autism.  We are committed to empowering communities worldwide to address the needs of individuals affected by autism through education, outreach, training, and the promotion of acceptance and compassion.

To address the lack of resources and extremely limited understanding of autism that plagues many underserved populations, we partner with autism centers established by local individuals. Our community empowerment model supports systemic change by providing family and community education through workshops and hands-on training.

We believe in embracing the talent and resources of the communities we serve by furnishing them with tools that engender self-reliance, sustainable development, and continued innovation.  Through this comprehensive, bottom-up approach, it is our vision to build a world in which all individuals affected by autism have access to effective services.
