apafac
apafac is a non-profit making organization founded in 1976 and declared a public utility in 1978, which aims to help people with autism spectrum disorders and their families, in the broadest sense of the word.
Holistic health is a global concept, relating to the psychophysical balance which affects all areas of life, and which is at the heart of everything Apafac does. In this sense, individual programmes, which lead to a decrease in behavioural problems and therefore, a better quality of life for the people who use our services, are developed. Apafac provides the following services:
- Residential treatment: This aims to provide specific, long-term treatment, diagnostic assessments and permanent and temporary residential services, according to the needs of the people we take care of and their families
- Sports: The aim here is to offer activities for people with autism spectrum disorders, which will develop and improve their physical capacities and have a positive impact on their psychological well-being.
- Specialised accompaniment: This service aims to accompany people with autistic spectrum disorders and their families in all the tests and treatments which may be necessary.
apafac is an organization which collaborates with the autisme la garriga project and is a founding member of the following organizations:
- World Autism Organisation (WAO)
- International Autism-Europe Association
