The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

ASP Sta. Rosa Conducts Free Therapy and Play

ASP Sta. Rosa conducted free therapy and play for persons with autism last 22 November 2014 at St. John Bosco Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Twenty eight children were given free occupational therapy assessment by Occupational Therapists (OT) from Creative Milestones and Learning Center, assisted by OT students from University of Perpetual Help.

Aside from the OT assessments, PWA's had fun doing yoga, arts and play activities. Free yoga mats, art materials and books were given to our PWA's. The parents and guardians also had support group talks while the PWA's were doing assessments and play. This outreach program aims to make therapy and play accessible to our PWA's in the community who have little access to such services.

ASP Sta. Rosa wishes to thank all our donors and friends for their generosity and support.
Special thanks to Creative Milestones Learning Center, University of Perpetual Help OT
students, Yusen Logistics volunteers, Mommy Chu Calleja, St John. Bosco Parish and
volunteers.
