PAFN: Empowering Lifelong Support and Inclusion
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.
