Who we are
The Association Djiboutienne pour Autisme et autres Besoins (ADAB) is a non-profit organization founded by Canadians from the Djiboutian community in the National Capital Region of Canada. This association is created to improve the living conditions of young people with autism spectrum disorder and other special needs as well as those of their families. It offers them, not only a safe and welcoming place where they can grow, share their ideas, but also the appropriate services to develop and integrate into the community. Promoting the mental health of these young people and their families by ensuring that they receive ongoing support is our leitmotif.
