Short History of the foundation
The cause of autism is not yet known but the incidence is growing at an alarming rate - In BANGLADESH. But we have very few and don’t have quality of training and rehabilitation center for children with ASD’S. AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS still remains a challenging condition for children with ASDS and their families. Many people feel anxious and depressed. Some people feel angry and others feel helpless and defeated, resentful. Autism is not a curse - it is just a difference, and a difference that can be worked around. We believe every special child has chosen special parents to make a difference in life.
. Lack of trained personnel in the field of special education is the greatest hurdle face by the parents of AUTISM AND special need children in Bangladesh. So the organization plans to train up dedicated band of special educators who will train the autism and special needs children. Today right therapy, appropriate teaching methods and supportive environment can help all children with Autism to improve and lead more productive lives. Autistic children development foundation established to provide supports and services ,promoting autism awareness, advocacy, special education ,Research TO enhance the quality of life of the Persons with Autism their family members AND vulnerable children. we already started a training school and rehabilitation centre for asds affected children, So that they may become active, contributing and live as fully participating members of our community.

We need those who can take torch of life and carry on and make AUTISTIC CHILDRENS DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION one of the outstanding organization in the world.

Autism and Sensory Integration:
Autistic individuals tend to have extreme reactions to sensory stimulation. Their senses may become hypersensitive (over-sensitive) or hyposensitive (under-sensitive). Hypersensitive children find themselves overloaded with even moderate levels of sensation, and work to block out sensory inputs such as light, sound and touch. Hyposensitive children, on the other hand, are not stimulated enough by normal sensory inputs and typically seek out extra stimulation. To illustrate, children who are hypersensitive to touch sensations may tantrum when they are touched, while hyposensitive children may crave and seek out strong hugs that provide deep pressure. Children with high pain tolerances may injure themselves quite significantly but carry on as though nothing has happened, while oversensitive children may find simple touches or textures to be intolerable.
