The IWRD Foundation has been helping children with autism and their families since 2006 in Poland. IWRD conducts therapeutic, educational and research activities using the latest scientific methods. In addition, it trains specialists throughout Poland and Europe and helps in creating similar facilities in Poland and abroad. In cooperation with the University of Gda?sk, IWRD organizes scientific symposia.

IWRD runs a Special Kindergarten for Children with Autism using behavior analysis to ensure beneficial outcomes and gives the children a unique opportunity for a successful life. Each child has an individualized educational program and IWRD works closely with parents as members of the therapeutic team. IWRD also operates an Integrational Preschool which provides an opportunity for children with autism to be gradually introduced into their peer group.

EA was founded in 1995 by three families seeking the best intervention for their children diagnosed with autism. IEA opened its Education Program in 1996 and grew over the years, providing much needed educational services to children and adolescents. Under the leadership of the Board of Trustees, IEA?s Founding Executive Director, Dr. Dawn Townsend, and IEA?s current Directors Dr. Eric Rozenblat and Ms. Donna DeFeo, IEA quickly became well known for its outstanding educational program based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis. In 2012, IEA had achieved its mission of providing a complete and comprehensive education to students between the ages of 3 and 21 and proudly celebrated the graduation of its first adult. At that time, IEA expanded its service delivery model and opened the Adult Life Skills Program for those adults with autism in need of continued support beyond age 21.
IEA?s main goal is to ensure that individuals with autism are able to fully participate in their families and communities. In addition, IEA is committed to preparing professionals to better serve the autism community. IEA is dedicated to advocating for, and disseminating information about, effective science-based intervention to parents, professionals, and community members by conducting ongoing research, presenting at local, national, and international conferences, and by offering volunteer opportunities for those interested in working with individuals with autism.
