ASP will be having the 3rd Chapter Leaders’ Conference (CLC) on August 28 – 30, 2010.
According to ASP Chair Emeritus, Dang Koe, chapters are critical for ASP to provide support and services to families in provincial areas, especially the underprivileged. One of ASP’s goals is for chapters have access to intervention services.
As of today, there are now 45 Chapters - a network in key cities in the country from
Luzon: Angeles City, Antipolo City, Bacoor, Baguio, Balayan, Batangas City, Carmona, Cavite North, Commonwealth Quezon City, Dasmariñas, Diliman, Dipolog City, Ibaan, Iriga, Lagro, Laguna, Lipa, Lucena City, Malolos City, Mandaluyong, Marikina Valley, Metro-South, Molino, Naga, Olongapo City, Puerto Princesa, Rizal, Rosales, Pangasinan, San Fernando City, Tanza, Trece Martirez, UP-Camp and Valenzuela, in

Every two years, CLCs are conducted to provide training to leaders. Aside from training, leaders keep in touch through the e-group to exchange success recipes.
Templates are provided for chapters to duplicate in the provinces what the national office is doing.
Majority of the chapters are now doing programs and services independently, such as: monthly seminars for members, family support group meetings, free therapies for
children with autism (CWA), educating public on autism, and resource development.
An estimated 500 to 600 thousand Filipinos are affected with autism and only 2% of them are receiving appropriate care. The initial diagnosis for autism costs about Php7,000, with total cost of medical and educational needs amounting to more than P110,000 for the first year alone.
Autism Society Philippines and
ASP Chapters work very hard for the future of children with autism and their families. We need your support. Take this opportunity to donate to
ASP’s 3rd Chapter Leaders’ Conference.
