:: Services for ASD
Samarpan Centre for Autism Spectrum Disorders provides assessment, intervention, training and therapies to persons with ASD. Samarpan facilities are used by those belonging to Mumbai and also some who come from outside Mumbai and from Gulf countries. The centre employs qualified professionals to develop and implement the intervention programs

:: Human Resource Development Programs
Autism intervention is an emerging field in India. There are very few teachers and therapists who are exclusively trained for working with persons with autism. Since there is a significant felt need among practitioners and families to understand autism and learn autism intervention methods, SOPAN conducts a range of programs to develop human resources in this area.

:: Library & Information Service
SOPAN has a collection of resource books on ASD. They cover a wide range of issues such as assessment & diagnosis, intervention strategies, training and therapies etc. The books are available for parents and others. Information about ASD is also provided to those who call or write to us. SOPAN plans to publish a newsletter on ASD soon.

:: Community Awareness & Advocacy
Community Awareness & AdvocacySeveral talks and informal discussions have been held for social and religious groups as part of community awareness. SOPAN encourages involvement of volunteers at Samarpan as this increases community awareness and participation. Information leaflets and flyers have been printed for general public. Exhibition and sale of items produced by students of Samarpan are held annually. SOPAN members have participated in formulating a memorandum (pertaining to ASD issues) sent to the Govt. of India.

:: Research & Development
Though on a small scale, SOPAN has started research activities. Some projects such as Parent Enrichment Program are being documented. Samarpan professionals have conducted research studies on Discrete Trial Teaching, Alternative & Augmentative Communication etc.

:: Network & Parent Support
SOPAN believes in cooperation and collaboration with organizations that work for autism in India. We participate in meetings and public campaigns held by others. Member parents are encouraged to meet informally for social interaction, picnics, and outings etc.
