IPNA wants to create a world where children with developmental disabilities and their parents can get their questions answered and their needs met in a caring environment.  Institute of Paediatric Neurodisorder & Autism (IPNA) is a government initiative to establish a nationwide Paediatric Neurodevelopment and Autism related management, training and research institution in Bangladesh. The institution is located on the premises of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), where a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency team provides comprehensive and tertiary level services to children with disability and their families under one roof. In addition to that, it has also established a ‘day care centre’ in a ‘healing and autism friendly environment’. Continuous high quality training, both for the doctors and the therapists, is an integral part of this institution. It aids these children to achieve their rights and enjoy equal opportunities in all aspects of their lives. Awareness about autism & disability will be promoted in the community at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
