We are the world’s first organization dedicated to autism inclusion in refugee & conflict-affected communities.

Who We Are

A Global Voice for Autism brings together teams of autism professionals, trauma specialists and local community experts to train key community stakeholders to support and include children with autism and developmental disabilities in their communities. Because we have seen that trainees learn most effectively when they are also receiving the emotional and intellectual support they need, all training is coupled with parent and sibling support and self-development programming, community education, and inclusion advocacy training for relevant local stakeholders.  Using culturally sensitive, evidence-based materials designed specifically for communities with limited resources, A Global Voice for Autism disseminates techniques, networks and information that benefit children and their communities for years to come.

We work in over 16 countries, often in the world’s most challenging humanitarian contexts—providing life-changing support and resources to children and their families in the moments they need it most.

Our Mission

To equip refugee & conflict-affected communities to support and include children on the autism spectrum & children with developmental disabilities in their classrooms, homes and communities.

Our Vision:

A world where all children are included, supported, and valued for who they are.
