Pakistan's first dedicated residential facility for autistic children, established by C-ARTS in Karachi, officially opened to provide comprehensive long-term care and support services. The initiative aims to serve approximately 250 children through integrated therapy, education, and vocational training under one roof while planning to expand with 13 similar units across Sindh. This development marks a significant step toward building an inclusive society by offering specialized care for children who lack adequate family support or require intensive therapeutic intervention.
