Imagine a world where everyone’s dreams could take flight.
For many Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent individuals and their families, the journey towards meaningful inclusion is lifelong. That journey isn’t a straight path. It’s filled with unique challenges, milestones and opportunities at every stage of life.
Every journey needs a flight plan.
PAFN is a proud Canadian charity that exists to support our families by understanding their needs and sharing that understanding to the broader collective of our provincial communities. We do this through practices and programs that enhance the lives of British Columbians and across our network, from childhood to adulthood. Founded by families, for families.
