Speaking at the program, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Children's Fund Nguyen Thi Hien said: Implementing the project "Raising awareness of autism in Vietnamese children", the Vietnam Children's Fund has signed an agreement with Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint Stock Company (PNJ) with a total support value of more than 10 billion VND, in the period from 2019 to 2025, to deploy the editing and publishing of a standard set of documents on supporting autistic children in Vietnam. After 6 years of implementing the project, the standard set of documents on supporting autistic children in Vietnam is presented in a logical sequence, contributing to helping parents fully understand their children's inappropriate behavior, prepare a calm mind when their children have inappropriate behavior, observe children to find the function of the behavior, thereby providing intervention measures based on the function of the behavior according to strategies with scientific evidence.

Many staff and teachers of autism intervention centers and parents of children with autism commented that this document has provided practical and effective strategies to help parents support their children when they have inappropriate behaviors, creating conditions for autistic children to access the most scientific and effective care conditions.

The total cost of the program was 64.5 million VND.

Providing support to each child, Ms. Pham Thuy Dung, Director of Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint Stock Company (PNJ) Northern Branch emphasized: One of the core values in our corporate culture is "Caring, developing together".
