Free therapy in 2017 through Parent for Parent program
The "Parent for Parent" program was initiated by Help Autism in 2014 and during its 3 years of existence over 100 children diagnosed with ASD have received free daily recovery therapy.
The funds needed to support the program come from the contribution of the over 400 parents, members of the association, who year after year choose to allocate part of the funds collected for the therapy of their own children, in order to help families at the beginning of their battle with this diagnosis.
In the 2017 edition of the "Parent for Parent" program, 37 children diagnosed with ASD will benefit, for free, from an intensive recovery program, in Help Autism Centres in Bucharest.
