Aspau Perú

What Aspau Perú does

ASPAU Perú (Asociación de Padres y Amigos de Personas con Autismo del Perú) is a non-profit civil association legally registered in Lima, Peru on February 1, 1999, founded by parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (TEA). The organization delivers a comprehensive suite of autism-related services at its single headquarters in San Miguel, Lima, including psychological and neuropsychological diagnosis, psychopedagogical workshops, behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy, language and communication therapy, occupational training, social skills development, early-intervention nursery adaptation programs, and artistic workshops such as drawing and painting. Services span age groups from 2 years through adulthood (25+ years) and are delivered by a small team of approximately 9 professional specialists (psychologists, psychopedagogues, a neuropsychologist) supported by parent volunteers and an advisory committee of credentialed professionals.

The association operates on a strict cost-recovery model with no commercial profit motive. Revenue streams consist of member contributions (a S/. 20 soles registration fee and a minimum S/. 20 soles monthly due), cost-recovery fees for evaluations, therapies, workshops, and counseling, and donations. Following its December 2023 authorization by Peru's Ministry of Economy and Finance as an "Entidad Perceptora de Donaciones," ASPAU can receive tax-advantaged national and international donations through its BBVA Continental account. The organization is registered across multiple Peruvian agencies (SUNAT, CONADIS, Ministry of Health, MIMP, Public Registry of Lima) and holds international affiliations with the World Autism Organization (WAO) and the Latin American Autism Federation (ALAFE).

ASPAU's distribution is exclusively direct: all services are delivered in person at the San Miguel facility, with no resellers, digital product, or remote delivery channel. The association contributed to Peru's Law No. 30150 (Ley de Protección Integral de la Persona con Trastornos del Espectro Autista) and maintains a specialized autism library as a public knowledge resource. Marketing and outreach rely on the association's website, blog, informational brochures, WhatsApp/phone contact, and national academic events, with awareness-raising and advocacy — not commercial promotion — as the primary objective.
