Associação Portuguesa Voz Do Autista

Our mission is to provide a platform for the diverse voices of autistic people, being verbal or with alternative communication, in Portugal, as well as to promote the acceptance and inclusion of autistic people in their communities; through the development of training, mentoring, support, research, inclusion projects in the area of health, education, employment, among others. We also intend to develop partnerships with other organizations, companies, autistic people and their families, health or education professionals, in order to create an inclusive society for autistic people and their families. The association bases its action on the support and defence of the autistic people rights, to fight for our inclusion and acceptance, and to see Autism as a Neurodiversity.
