It’s a Hard Way

… with small steps for every word, for every acquisition, with a day-by-day resignation and sacrifice which turns to months and years that go by. The recovery therapies are expensive and are supported almost entirely by the family.

A small percentage of the children with autism could reach an independent adulthood and could be socially integrated. Another part of them remains in the permanent care of their families. Thus, the child with autism becomes the adult with autism. For autism does not disappear in adulthood.

S.O.S. Autism Bihor Daycare Centre

pledges to support young adults with autism, providing licensed recovery and rehabilitation services.

‘Together for Autism’ is the long-lasting slogan of the S.O.S. Autism Bihor Association in fundraising campaigns.

Who we are, and what we do?

We are parents and we have the strongest reason to go on!

We founded the association in 2007, in a wish to provide recovery therapy for our children.  Along the years, we managed to offer them one-to-one and group therapies. We have carried on awareness campaigns for this condition with all its needs and rights and we join other similar NGOs from Romania.

In 2015, with the support of the Townhall of Oradea we obtained a building which became the long-dreamt Day Centre. This building was thoroughly renewed and walled out to meet the accreditation standards for the operating license. We used the sums gathered through charity events to complete our dream.

Some of the formerly children are now youngsters who did not become independent, despite all the efforts of their families. They finished school and cannot work, but in this Centre, they can continue their recovery activities. Our Association provides these youngsters a daily program in a friendly environment which suits their needs.

What are our expenses?

The management of a Daycare Centre for disabled people implies funding the salaries of a professional, devoted and dedicated personnel, and the upkeep cost of the space we function (water, heat, electricity, internet, telephone). The total amount of the monthly expenses is in average 15,000 RON, from which 5,000 RON come from the fees payed by the parents, the rest of 10,000 RON are mainly from charity events and individual or corporate sponsorship provided by extraordinary people who understand the need of such a Centre and support the existence of it. A tiny part of our monthly expenses is covered by the Townhall of Oradea through D.A.S., according to Bill nr. 34/1998.

We are deeply thankful to all our supporters!

We need your further support!
