OUR MISSION
Improving the lives of children, teenagers, adults and their family members affected by autism and other developmental disorders.
IT IS MY WAY, IT IS YOUR WAY,
IT IS OUR WAY!
More than 15 years of my over 40-year experience in medical field and work in charitable organizations have been dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of children, teenagers, and young adults touched with autism and other developmental disorders as well as their families in Armenia.
I am very thankful for my life path that has brought me here and enabled to help many amazing and dedicated parents of children with autism.
They work miracles for their and, most importantly, many other children with autism and other developmental disorders, for the special children that touch my heart, that give purpose and strength to all of us to move on together, not to give up, to fight, to overcome obstacles and, no matter what, to steadily evolve along our challenging but rewarding way towards reaching our common goal: to improve their life quality, to make them happy and to give them possibility and means to grow, to develop and acquire skills for possible future employment, to be appreciated and valued, to provide them with support and care, with LOVE and EQUAL RIGHTS and OPPORTUNITIES all people on Earth deserve.
I am proud of being the Director of Autism National Foundation as it is an exemplary model of successful long-term cooperation between the Government of RA and autism community. We will keep up the good work and will always direct our joint efforts towards creating decent conditions for care, education and development of our cherished beneficiaries: children, teenagers and adults with autism as well as for their family members.
Our Foundation not only values and contributes to awareness enhancement and inclusion and advocated the interests of those touched by autism, it also commits to provide essential services by a dedicated team of professionals to its beneficiaries at its “MY WAY” Socio-Habilitation, Educational and Vocational Training Day Care Center for Children, Teenagers and Adults with Autism and Other Developmental Disorders.
