TODEV, the first Autism Foundation in Turkey, was founded in 1997 to find solutions to the
problems of individuals with autism and their families, and to create awareness among the
public. The Foundation has been leading projects and activities for the benefit of individuals
with autism, with an amateur spirit. TODEV directs the funds raised in this project to those
children who are in need of education scholarships. With this project, TODEV Foundation
contributes to the education of individuals with autism by developing novel services, enhancing
and widening existing services. The funding support is used for the scholarship of children with

autism and activities for the family members. On the other hand, TODEV also organizes
activities for raising awareness within the whole society.
