PROPOSED ASPERGER CENTRE

You can help make the new Asperger Centre a reality by contributing to our goal of $65,000 by 31 October 2012.

Due to the enormous increase in demand for services to assist people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASCs), Asperger Services Australia Ltd (ASA) intends to open a Asperger Centre on the north side of Brisbane. Research among our members and callers has shown the need for an centre that provides members of the Asperger community with a safe and Asperger-friendly environment to connect with others and receive a wide range of professional support and education services.

The centre will provide people with Asperger's Syndrome the opportunity to reach their individual potential to benefit society by full and effective acceptance, participation and inclusion in the community.
