At NASOM they provide the needed information, intervention and a range of services  to meet the needs of children with autism. With the right support at the right time, people with autism can live rewarding and fulfilling lives. They can achieve great things, but only if they are supported by people who believe in their potential . They need all kinds of resources from land, buildings, equipment, money and volunteers. Members of IEM and public are welcome to assist them and associate with NASOM people, understand their difficulties and give the kids / students an opportunity to live the life same as others.
