Advocacy Department

IAA was established to solve the problems of Iran's autism society. In this regard, from 2013, we have found advocacy services as one of IAA's primary duties through our studies, activities, and experiences.

Regarding the variation of the autism spectrum, autistic persons and their families may face different problems in their personal and social lives. Also, because of the low social awareness in Iran about autism, these people are deprived of multiple citizenship rights. So we strive to following up all political, social, cultural and economic rights of autistic individuals..

Three organizations should be considered

We strongly believe that family and community companionship with autistic individuals is crucial but is not sufficient and the realization of all needs requires governmental support. So one of our main jobs is negotiating with different organizations and authorities. State welfare organization of Iran, Iran's Special Education Organization, Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Ministry of Legislation, Judicial system, Ministry of Interior, the Armed Forces, police, parliament, City and municipal Council, insurance sections, etc., are some organizations that are considered in this way.
