Chinese Autism Awareness Center (CAAC), established on Nov 24, 2017, is a Federal- registered non-profit organization co-founded by Ms. Suyun Zhu, director of Suzhou Conscience Education Center in China and Ms. Helen, a Canadian Volunteer. Now the center has over fifty volunteers from all walks of life.

Given Chinese cultural background and new immigration status, Chinese autistic families lack sufficient understanding and resources of autism which may lead to mistreatment, delayed treatment, family conflict, and even divorce. CAAC is committed to providing autistic patients and their families with support services from Chinese Communities, including assistance in the treatment, rehabilitation and integration into society, promotion of physical and mental health and improvement of the quality of family life.

CAAC offers bi-directional service, helping Chinese autistic families understand all relevant Canadian policies, translating and explaining government benefits. CAAC aims at providing autistic patients and their families with full service in the future.

Disseminating relevant knowledge;
Explaining government policies and helping them apply for applicable benefits;
Providing training to autistic family members
Establishing family archives and carrying out monthly activities;
