WHAT IS SPARTA?
SPARTA is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization which aims to conduct research and provide empirically supported treatments in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to children with severe Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the school and at home with their parents and family members.
WHY THE NEED?
Autism prevalence is an issue that requires further awareness, study, and support worldwide. It is believed to be growing in rural areas and smaller cities at an alarming rate. Dr. Lafasakis and other dedicated researchers have been studying autism for years, and believe SPARTA’s initiative can help children with severe autism in America and in Greece where we currently operate.
