We are Autism Connect Belize, a nonprofit organization dedicated to guiding families and individuals affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) throughout Belize. Our mission extends beyond raising awareness; we provide real, practical support to those navigating the autism journey, particularly parents seeking a diagnosis, to find the right resources, assessments, education, and support available in Belize.
Our goal is to make the journey easier by connecting you to everything you need, all in one place. No guesswork. No stress. Just real help, real connections, and a more inclusive Belize for all.
