Between 2011 and 2014, we collaborated with Punch, Nigeria’s most widely read newspaper, to publish annual pull-out supplements on Autism during Autism Awareness Month, April. An enduring resource material, the special report provided a platform for sharing available knowledge and information on intervention strategies and coping skills amongst therapists, caregivers and family members.
We organize an autism walk every year
