The Mayor of Almoradí, María Gómez, recently visited the TeaCtiva Association, accompanied by Nuria Follana, the Councillor for Social Services and Health. Their visit coincided with the lead-up to World Autism Awareness Day on the second of April. To mark this important occasion, the town hall displays a blue banner promoting awareness and support for autistic individuals and their rights within the community.

TeaCtiva plays a crucial role in the local community, offering a wide range of services. These include family advising, assistance with processes for disability benefits, and workshops designed to support both individuals with autism and their families. The Mayor commended the association’s dedication to reducing stigma and promoting inclusion of autistic individuals in society.

As part of the commemorative events, the fifth edition of the traditional Autism March is set to occur on Sunday, the sixth of April. Participants will gather at the Plaza de la Constitución at ten in the morning. Those interested in taking part can register at ‘La Magia de Carol’ up until the fourth of April or on the day of the event at a designated table hosted by TeaCtiva.

The initiatives highlight Almoradí’s commitment to raising awareness and supporting the rights and needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ensuring they have equal participation in all aspects of life.
