ANGEL BALLER BAND
Did you know that in some remote areas, having a child with autism is a curse? Or that autism is caused by evil spirits?
Autism Society Philippines’, Chapters are critical in dispelling these wrong beliefs, and in providing support and services to families in provincial areas, specially the underprivileged.
ASP ensures alive-and-kicking chapters via conducting chapter leaders’ conferences, training (soon via internet to include far-flung chapters), and maintaining e-group among the leaders to exchange success recipes. Templates are provided for chapters to duplicate in the provinces what the national office is doing.
It took ASP 14 years to organize 20 chapters. The numbers dramatically doubled in the last five years. ASP’s 38 chapters , still growing, are found in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Majority of the chapters are now doing programs and services independently, such as: monthly seminars for members, family support group meetings, free therapies for children with autism (CWA), public autism awareness programs, and resource development.
