Summary:

This project focuses on strengthening the role of the patient organization LÍP A SPOLU and improving situation of people with autism spectrum disorders.

Effective support for people with autism and their families is still insufficient and unsystematic in the Czech Republic. The reasons are, e.g., missing, low-quality or overloaded services in the field of healthcare, welfare and education. There still may be misconceptions about autism from some parents, teachers and public. The project contributes to solving the situation in several ways.

Within the project, the number of employees of the patient centre will be increased, and it will enable centre to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for a successful running of the organization, representing people with autism and defending their interests and rights. Services for children and adults with autism and their families will be expanded and improved.
Summer camps for children with neurodevelopmental disorders and weekend stays for families with children with autism will be organised, as well as a series of educational events led by experts in the field of autism. Parents, teachers and other participants will gain new information and knowledge necessary for upbringing and education of children with autism. Articles will be published in an online magazine, as well as an anthology with a contribution of people with autism.
