Pacific Autism Family Network
Pacific Autism Family Network (PAFN) is a network of support for individuals and families with autism and related neurodiversities. PAFN has spokes spanning BC with each location offering a variety of tailored resources.
Pacific Autism Family Network's (PAFN) core purpose is to be a Knowledge Centre: bringing together state-of-the-art resources for research, information, learning, assessment, treatment and support; and building capacity to address the lifespan needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related neurodiversities. We are proud to offer spokes spanning British Columbia with each location offering a variety of resources across the lifespan.
PAFN takes pride in establishing strategic partnerships to support meaningful inclusion. By fostering these partnerships and continuously evolving our services, Pacific Autism Family Network remains dedicated to promoting understanding, acceptance, and empowerment for individuals with autism and related neurodiversities, ensuring they receive the comprehensive support and resources they deserve throughout their lives.
