The Association Autism Ávila is formed by the families of people with autism, working in close partnership with a significant team of professionals in order to develop services to improve the quality of life of those with autism and their families at each stage of their lives.
It develops a number of initiatives for early detection, specialized early attention, specific educational support both in ordinary and controlled environments, day care services and sheltered housing. It has been declared a public utility and holds ISO-9001 for all its services.
Since its creation in 2000, this association has supported the use of new technologies as a key tool for working with ASD and as part of all its services.
Autism Ávila also has an editorial arm, publishing a number of technical and methodological books on working with ASD, principally translations of publications in other countries.
