DONATE Materials
We use a variety of materials, equipment, and devices to teach communication, social skills, play and leisure skills, academic skills, to enhance independence and/or work as motivators. You may choose to donate items mentioned in the ‘AFA Wish List’ (below) or through 'Amazon'. So please do look through your cabinets before throwing anything away!
Action for Autism has partnered with Amazon India for an in-kind donation program catering to NGOs like us called The Amazon Gift a Smile program. Here we have created our own wish list of products (like sensory equipment, toys, music systems etc.) available on the Amazon website. This wish list has been displayed on Amazon’s landing page and is visible to everyone who visits the website of Amazon and intends to fulfil our wish.
