2 April marks World Autism Awareness Day and reminds us all of the need to help enhance the quality of life of people living with autism so they can lead full and meaningful lives as an integral part of our society.
At KMOP, our aim is to support the integration of people with ASD into society by providing them with essential psychosocial support, training healthcare professionals to deliver better services, and raising autism awareness among the public.
