What Causes Autism?

The exact cause of autism is still being studied, but research suggests that it is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Autism is not caused by parenting style, vaccines, or personal choices. It is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain develops.

Supporting Children with Autism

Children with autism can learn, grow, and thrive with the right support and understanding.

Every Child is Unique
