The Center for Openness and Dialogue (COD) held an awareness event today for World Autism Day.

The event was organized with the National Club of Parents of Children with ASD & P.A.K. and the “Asim Vokshi” Linguistic High School. The goal was to raise public awareness and promote inclusion of young people on the spectrum in social-impact initiatives.

Young participants performed self-written songs in a mini-concert with guitars. Two talented young painters created artworks live during the event, dedicated to the day.

Parents discussed the challenges of raising a child on the spectrum in Albania. They also highlighted available support and suggested improvements.
