what we do
Naked Heart Foundation supports families of children and young adults with conditions such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy and other special needs.
we educate
We stand by implementation of the best evidence-based practices in our educational projects.
We collaborate with the world’s leading organisations (e.g. University of Cape Town and University of Edinburgh) to provide parents, caregivers, and childcare professionals with the access to the latest effective and scientifically approved methods of supporting autistic children and their families.

global PETwe advocate
We amplify voices of autistic children and young adults by inviting them and their families to directly impact the nature and the language of our educational and training programme.
Together with autistic individuals and their families, we are at the forefront for changing the way society perceives autism.

global PETwe create
We created safe and inspiring inclusive play facilities, accessible to children of all physical, mental or sensory abilities. Our play parks are free and open to children of all ages and backgrounds.
We believe that for children, play is not a luxury but a necessity, and that every child should be provided with a secure environment in which to play. Therefore, we created inclusive play facilities in places where there is no-one else to do so.
