Fondazione Oltre il Labirinto ETS

What Fondazione Oltre il Labirinto ETS does

Fondazione Oltre il Labirinto ETS is an Italian Third Sector non-profit foundation headquartered in Treviso and focused exclusively on autism spectrum disorders across the lifespan. Its service portfolio is anchored on three pillars: (1) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) training for professionals and families, delivered through a recurring two-day introductory course priced at €200 per participant and capped at 25 attendees; (2) direct intervention services including home-based Domiciliarità ABA and the residential Casa Indi; and (3) community infrastructure, headlined by the Villaggio Godega 4Autism cohousing project planned for Treviso province, which the foundation describes as the first European cohousing model combining residential care, vocational activities (including a biodynamic farm and craft workshops), and whole-community participation for adults with autism.

The foundation operates a hybrid fundraising model combining individual donations (bank transfer, PayPal, credit card), the Italian 5x1000 tax designation (Codice Fiscale 94126440265), Cause Related Marketing partnerships with for-profit companies, and Payroll Giving programs where employees donate hours of salary. It serves two primary personas: individuals with autism and their families (children, adolescents, and adults), and professionals in autism intervention (educators, psychologists, speech therapists, teachers). A secondary corporate partner segment engages through cause marketing and employee giving. Distribution is regional and partner-mediated, with delivery anchored in Veneto and partnerships extending into Lombardy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Campania, and Piedmont.

Operationally the foundation runs on a lean 8-person staff and maintains international advocacy linkage through active membership in Autism-Europe. Its competitive position rests on a first-mover European cohousing concept, BCBA-credentialed course instructors, a dense Italian autism-association partner network, and a free Telefono Blu Autismo helpline (800.031.819). Recent strategic activity includes advocacy participation around the Italian caregiver bill at Montecitorio (January 2026) and a 2024 DAMA model conference extending the foundation's profile into broader Bio-Psycho-Social healthcare accessibility. No financial statements, fundraising totals, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source material.
