ASDC COMMUNITY ADVOCACY AND FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP:
The ASDC Community Advocacy and Family Support Group aims to raise and promote awareness for Autism and other developmental disabilities and Equality for all Hawaiian Citizens in the County. We offer this event every two months. We invite families, clients, and communities to tell stories and educate ourselves. We also provide fun and interactive activities to clients with special needs during social events. Our goal is to remove the stigma and misunderstanding about disabilities, bridge the gap in the community, and bring partners, collaborators, and other stakeholders to work together and get closer to our mission.
As a non-profit organization, ASDC appreciates your valuable contributions as it allows us to continue our purpose and mission. 100% of our proceeds from donations are put towards our community outreach and education funds to help our clients.
