More information
In 1975 a group of concerned parents and specialists founded a special scool for children with autism in an apartment in Zurich. With the growing need for specialized education for children with autism and related sensory integration problems the institution needed bigger and better equipped facilities. Thanks to the approval of the education board of Zurich and the federal office for social security the institution was able to acquire the property at the Bergstrasse 28 in Urdorf in 1991 and changed its name in the year 2000 to «Stiftung Kind & Autismus» (Foundation Child & Autism). It became a unique school and counseling/information center for children and adolescents with autism and related sensory integration problems.
