About Us & Presentations

Objectives of The Victoria Society for Children with Autism:

• To promote increased awareness of autism
• To provide support and information to families of individuals with autism and related conditions.
• To support  the development of alternative living and vocational situations for autistic persons.
• To support research in the field of autism and similar conditions.

VSCA endeavours to provide, through our monthly meetings, newsletters & website, a forum for parents and professionals to communicate on the many issues surrounding autism and a network for parent and family support. Our active fund raising program is helpful in providing financial support to our members.  VSCA works through community involvement in:

• Monthly meetings and special events.
• Sponsorship to seminars, workshops or conferences.
• Resource library with material for families and professionals
• Liaison with schools, government and service providers.
• Purchase of goods and services which will be of direct benefit to people with autism.
