Health

We have put in place a structure that makes assessment & diagnosis more accessible to persons who may be on the spectrum.

Education

Autism does not have a cure, but Early Intervention offers the best chance at a normal life. At IFA, we offer early childhood intervention.

Advocacy & Awareness

Autism awareness in Africa is extremely low. A central aspect of IFA’s work is to improve awareness around the condition in Africa.

Learning & Support

Our physical and online libraries hold vast collections of scholarly and other information about autism spectrum disorder.
