Output of Project Activities:

Beneficiaries from the services of AutismCare Nepal society during Fiscal Year 081/082

Conclusion:

AutismCare Nepal Society is committed to provide all its services to the beneficiaries though there are lots of hindrances and obstacles. The number of new diagnosis cases of autism spectrum disorder increased tremendously. There was huge demand of all services and ACNS faced all the challenges and provided the quality services to all with the available limited human resources.

We were able to retain our most of the important human resources and recruit new human resources to provide our regular services. This could only be possible because of grant we received from Nick Simon’s Foundation. We could serve more than 2000 families so far during the one-year period increasing our capacity and building strong team work. This output has boosted the human resource of ACNS and motivated to work with full potential.
