Pacific Autism Family Centre Foundation

About Us

Pacific Autism Family Network (PAFN) is a network of support for Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent individuals and their families. PAFN's core purpose is to be a knowledge centre: bringing together state-of-the-art resources for research, information, learning, assessment, treatment and support; and building capacity to address the lifespan needs of Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent individuals. We are proud to offer spokes spanning British Columbia with each location offering a variety of resources across the lifespan.

Our Aspirational Goal

Our aspirational goal is for British Columbia to become the premier destination for individuals with autism within the next decade. To achieve this vision of success, we will continue to deliver high-quality programs, foster innovative practices, forge partnerships with researchers and community professionals to maintain a cutting-edge research facility integral to our mission.

Our Guiding Principles

Guided by our principals, we prioritize the active involvement of the entire autism community, foster collaboration between families, practitioners, and researchers to ensure our services are tailored to individual and family needs. As a family-centred organization, we uphold a commitment to innovation, evidence-based practices, and equitable access to services regardless of location or economic circumstance.
