Israeli Autism Association-OTI

The mission of the "Oti" Association is to provide support and assistance to individuals across all age groups, particularly children and youth, as well as their families who face neuropsychiatric risks, and psychosocial challenges, including post-traumatic conditions. The "Oti" association pioneers and implements intervention models that address individuals, families, and communities, emphasizing early detection and prevention to enhance social resilience, particularly in navigating crisis situations and managing the aftermath of mass disasters. These models, developed by the association, serve as the foundation for the operation of a national training center and the formation of multi-professional teams. These teams play a vital role in establishing effective intervention systems across Israel. Furthermore, the association takes an active role in promoting the creation and execution of treatment models, serving as a public research institute in its specialized domains, including autism and resilience.
