AutismThessaly
In 1998 a small group of parents, desperate for the lack of services and the indifference of the state, following the example of the actions of parents from other European countries and willing to fight, with the full support of fellow citizens, decided to establish the association to support people with autism in the area and their families. Then the lack of a similar body in the wider region of Thessaly created the need to provide services in other prefectures of Thessaly. Today, the action of the association has a nationwide scope.
The members of the Association are parents and friends. Friends - volunteers support our activities and literally contribute to the development of the club.
With the support of scientists specializing in autism, the purpose of our Association is:
informing and raising awareness of local authorities and the community on issues of autism
finding people with autism in the area in collaboration with local authorities
the education of parents, students and teachers
the organization of conferences and symposia
working with research experts to promote autism
