Core offering

Federació Catalana d'Autisme is a second-tier non-profit federation that represents 48 specialized autism entities across Catalonia (Catalonia, Spain). It defends the rights of autistic people and their families throughout the life cycle, conducts political incidence and rights advocacy with public administrations, raises social awareness, and reinforces and empowers its member entities through training, resources, and capacity building. Direct service delivery is performed through its member entities, while the federation itself coordinates programs such as DIKÉ, M'adapTU, TEAEduca, Projecte Rumbo, and the Serveis Map.

Product overview

Federació Catalana d'Autisme operates as a federation of autism organizations rather than a traditional product company. Its offerings consist of advocacy services, member support programs, and several named initiatives including the DIKÉ accessible documents project, M'adapTU hospital accessibility methodology, TEAEduca training platform with over 170 trainings, and the Projecte Rumbo for independent living. The federation also maintains a services map directory for member organizations across Catalonia and facilitates participation in autism research studies.

Regional players

• National Autistic Society: UK-based autism charity providing advocacy, information, and services. Comparable as a larger and more mature version of the federation model in a different geography, with broader service portfolio but similar advocacy and member-support mission.
• Fédération Autisme France: French national federation of autism associations, structurally analogous to Federació Catalana d'Autisme but serving France rather than Catalonia. Comparable as a peer federation model operating in a different national jurisdiction with similar advocacy and member-coordination functions.

Broad incumbents

• Fundación ONCE: Major Spanish disability foundation supporting people with disabilities including autism. Comparable as a large, established Spanish disability organization providing funding, resources, and partnerships to Federació Catalana d'Autisme, operating at broader scale across multiple disability categories.

Others

• Confederación Española de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica (COCEMFE): Spanish disability confederation participating in Project Rumbo alongside Federació Catalana d'Autisme. Comparable as a peer Spanish disability confederation working on independent living initiatives, with broader scope beyond autism.
• Comitè Català de Representants de Persones amb Discapacitat (COCARMI): Catalan disability representative committee coordinating disability organizations across Catalonia. Comparable as a sibling federation in which Federació Catalana d'Autisme is a member, representing the broader disability rights coalition rather than autism specifically.

Direct peers

• Confederación Autismo España: National Spanish autism confederation coordinating autism federations across Spain's autonomous communities. Directly comparable as both Federació Catalana d'Autisme's national umbrella and the federation it belongs to, performing the same federation-of-federations role at the national level.
• Autism Europe: European-level autism advocacy federation coordinating national autism organizations across Europe. Directly comparable as the European umbrella organization of which Federació Catalana d'Autisme is a member, providing cross-border advocacy and EU-level representation.
• Asperger España: Spanish association specifically focused on Asperger syndrome within the autism spectrum. Directly comparable as a Spanish autism-focused organization with overlapping advocacy and support missions for people with autism and their families.
