IFA OBSERVES WORLD AUTISM DAY
Every 2nd April is a day UN observes “World Autism Awareness Day”. It was instituted in 2007 to increase world awareness of the millions of autistic children in our world, and there are reports that awareness and research have indeed greatly increased as a result of the awareness day. Hence we at IFA look forward to this day every year to do something special for the autistic community
