Social services and authorizations
The Crystal Children Association offers 8 types of therapy specialized in solving ASD-specific problems. Each therapist works with the beneficiaries in a specific way, using a personalized approach. We want to help children get over the barriers of AUTISM and lead a normal lifestyle. In this regard, every year, we develop campaigns and programs for the integration of beneficiaries in the society and we start counseling and specialized therapy sessions to support them in their healing process.
How it started
Our Story
At first it was the pain … “I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but your children are autistic.”(Romanian translation = Îmi pare rău că trebuie să vă spun eu asta, dar copiii dumneavoastră au autism)”.
I was in an inner state of impenetrability; the lady’s words in front of me were so distant from me. AUTISM! I did not know anyone to talk about this, which would give me the hope that my boys would be fine.
What made my children different from the others finally had a name. All I have to do is read about it and find solutions. However, why did not any Romanian say this to me, it has been almost two years since I wonder what is happening to them: they do not talk, they do not play with the other children, they are always preoccupied and seem to be thinking. They are only 3 years old! What can a 3-year-old child think of?
We are the “Crystal Children” Association
An Association specializing in the organization of awareness and information activities on AUTISM spectrum disorders. We also offer special therapy and counseling services to beneficiaries. Our agenda also includes charitable arts activities and fundraising campaigns.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is not an activity, it is a true state of spirit that starts from everyone’ s spirit of altruism, from the desire to help the other and the desire to make things better around us. We, the “Crystal Children” Association, offer you what we value most: our sincerity and friendship.
Get involved!
Get involved in our activities by becoming a volunteer and use your free time for helping young people and children with ASD. Help them enjoy a normal life. You can get involved and donate a modest amount of money for these children to have a better life.
It’s easy to be better!
Your donation support will be more than useful for children, young people and adults with autism and other associated disorders benefiting from the services provided by the “Crystal Children” Association. This simple gesture will add stability and security to our projects and programs.

I volunteered to “Crystal Children” through high school because I was part of the high school band who attended a show with them and since then we continued to get involved as active volunteers.

“Before I was a volunteer, I did not have much contact with children who are affected by autism or other disorders.

I always wanted to be a volunteer in an association for children with special needs, but I did not have the opportunity in Brazil due to lack of time. After a few months, living in Romania, I read on the internet about “Crystal Children” and about their need for volunteers. There I had beautiful days with
