Apart from the objective of consciousness-raising on autism, Quiz A also serves as an opportunity for children with autism to exhibit their talents and participate in activities that will show the general public that they can be mainstreamed in the regular system with adequate and proper support. This year’s Quiz A was sponsored by the Council for the Welfare for Children, Buhay Party List, Committee on Social Services, the Philippine House of Representatives, Department of Education, NORFIL Foundation and ASP National Office.
