PANAACEA

What PANAACEA does

PANAACEA is an Argentine non-profit civil association (Asociación Civil) headquartered in Martínez, Buenos Aires, formally incorporated on September 27, 2012 under IGJ Resolution No. 1069. Its mission is to improve the quality of life of people with autism spectrum conditions and their families through five operational pillars: awareness, training, intervention, research, and public policy advocacy. The organization serves two principal constituencies: families navigating autism diagnosis and intervention, and healthcare and education professionals seeking specialized training. It also runs the Programa de Empleo con Apoyos for autistic adults and an employer inclusion alliance.

The organization operates a connected portfolio of digital properties rather than a single product: cursos.panaacea.org hosts a paid online learning platform with certification; test.panaacea.org delivers free, validated early-detection screening questionnaires (CSBS-DP for 6-24 months, M-CHAT-R/F for 16-30 months, Q-CHAT for 18-48 months) with automated scoring; tem.panaacea.org provides free Talleres TEM early-intervention workshops for parents of children under six with autism and limited language; red.panaacea.org is a national resource directory; videoteca.panaacea.org hosts educational video; and the "Sigamos el Desarrollo" mobile app (iOS and Google Play) supports developmental milestone monitoring. Adjacent paid services include approximately 60-minute Skype-based videoconsultations and the MIIP (Módulo Integral Intensivo PANAACEA) intensive assessment module, alongside a free AMSE diagnostic support tool for professionals.

PANAACEA's business model is a hybrid non-profit structure. The majority of offerings (screening tools, TEM workshops, many videoconsultations, AMSE tool) are free, funded by individual donations through the "Club de Amigos Solidarios" monthly program and one-time donations via credit card, MercadoPago, and bank transfer. Revenue-generating streams are limited to online course fees on cursos.panaacea.org and the MIIP intensive assessments. The organization is a founding member of RedEA (Argentina), REAL (Latin America), and INSAR (global), with co-founders serving as INSAR Senior Global Leaders for South America, and participates in the "Companies Committed to Change" alliance with SAP, IBM, PwC, JPMorgan, Directv, Sancor, and Excelsium. It employs approximately 28 people and has held a Declaration of Social Interest from the Buenos Aires Legislature since 2018.
