 APATT Members:

1.  FREE membership and future benefits.

APATT membership is FREE (no hidden fees of any kind at any point). As a legal non-profit organization, we believe families affected by Autism in T&T have a right to be well represented and they shouldn't be charged to access this service or any other.

 2. APATT is a family. You are a member of our family, not a number.

 When we are representing the Association in formal communications with those in authority / those who can help  the Association, we want to be able to pull out your name and state "X member of our Association needs this" hence, registration is vital for us to be able to do that since our forms are detailed with regards to your needs and particular case.

 3. We do understand your situation. APATT’s founders are parents of 3 children on the Autism spectrum.

If you take care of a loved one who is on the spectrum, we DO understand the joys and the serious challenges that are associated with this condition. We do not speak or discuss Autism from an outsider's perspective or from a priviliged position. We can connect with you and your family in a way that only another parent living it can relate.

 4. APATT is all about Trinidad & Tobago.

We believe that keeping the focus on what is needed in our country, is vital to be able to obtain the kind of resources our children need.

 7. If you need to get help, come get the facts from APATT and avoid the myths and misinformation.

If your loved one was just diagnosed with Autism or you suspect he / she might be on the Autism spectrum and you do not know what to do next, APATT will be glad to help you go through the entire process. We will provide you with accurate information and support to assist your loved one. Remember, once you are a member of APATT, you are family to us.

 8. We represent Adults on the Autism spectrum too.

Children with Autism become adults with Autism in the future. APATT believes that adults on the spectrum need to be given opportunities to shine and excel in society. As a member of APATT, we will be pushing for opportunities for employment and education for adults on the spectrum as well as seeking free health related services for them.
