Located in Scarborough, the South Asian Autism Awareness Centre was created with the intention of inspiring families impacted by ASD in a culturally responsive manner. Founded in 2008, SAAAC has evolved to cater diverse communities and families across the GTA, providing accessible and discipline-rich management of ASD among children, youth, and adults.
Programs offered are free of charge and responsive to the needs of the community. Staff, volunteers and neighbours work together to identify and discuss issues and concerns, develop and provide services and programs to meet the needs of the community, and promote community participation.
