AACTION IS NECESSARY

AACTION is a 501(c)3 humanitarian organization dedicated to developing worldwide awareness, support and acceptance of autism through education and training.

Our dedicated volunteer team of autism professionals provide free medical, educational, and diagnostic training to parents, professionals, and educators seeking information across the globe. All of our work is done on a volunteer basis. Our training teams take vacation time from their jobs to travel and conduct trainings which allows over 90% of donations to go directly towards our mission.

Our organization was founded in response to a global autism crisis. Misunderstanding and misinformation continue to have dramatic consequences for the children with autism. In many cases, children with autism go undiagnosed and fail to receive appropriate medical and educational treatments. In places around the globe children with autism are punished for actions over which they have no control. Parents are stigmatized by the disability of their child and hide their children from the public. AACTION’s training and education will lead to better understanding and help people with autism realize their full hope for the future.

AACTION IN INDIA

For the past two years AACTION has been working with a team of Indian autism professionals to develop a plan for training and education.
An AACTION team visited India and spoke to over 500 autism professionals and parents of children with autism, positively impacting thousands of children.

• AACTION trained over 150 teachers and parents in two intensive, interactive workshops.
• AACTION brought six Indian autism professionals to the United States for two weeks of training. We are developing Indian trainers that can provide information and training to their communities.
• AACTION will be returning to India to provide further training While AACTION is extremely proud of our work in India, it is just the first step of a long journey, in just one country with many more in need. Our passion, along with the generosity of our supporters, will ensure a better future for individuals with autism.
