This date is established by the United Nations (UN) to highlight the need to increase awareness about the issue and promote the inclusion of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in all spheres of society.
In Brazil, it is estimated that 2 million people have been diagnosed with autism, and globally, the prevalence is approximately 1 in every 36 individuals, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These numbers underscore the importance of understanding and supporting the needs of individuals with autism worldwide.
As part of our commitment to inclusion, we offer a variety of services for individuals with autism and their families. From educational programs, employment inclusion, longevity care, to health services and psychosocial support.
