Fundación Asnimo

What Fundación Asnimo does

Fundación Asnimo is a nonprofit foundation (Fundación) founded in 1976 and headquartered in Marratxí, Balearic Islands, Spain, operating as the first entity in Spain and one of the first globally dedicated specifically to Down syndrome. It delivers an integrated, person-centered care model spanning the full lifecycle, including early intervention (CEDIAT), special education for ages 3-18 (Centro de Educación Especial / Centro Princesa de Asturias), therapeutic services for Autism Spectrum Disorder (Gabinete Terapéutico Asnimo / GTA), transition to adult life programs, occupational services, a Special Employment Center (Centro Especial de Empleo), supervised housing (Viviendas Supervisadas), day center services (Centro de Día), leisure and adapted sports programs (Club Deportivo Asnimo), and a guardianship foundation (Fundación Tutelar / FSDIB) for adults with disabilities whose families cannot provide care.

The foundation's business model is primarily publicly funded through concertados (contracted services) with the Public Administration, with the foundation guiding families through placement processes. Revenue is supplemented by employment-related services from the Centro Especial de Empleo. The foundation holds ISO 9001:2008 certification from AENOR since 2007, public utility status since 2010, and is registered in the unique foundations registry of the Balearic Islands. A notable digital product is the Proyecto TEA (2022), a multimedia accessibility tool for Palma de Mallorca Airport developed in partnership with AENA to help passengers with Autism Spectrum Disorder navigate the airport experience through interactive tours and social scripts.
