New website!

The establishment of a social enterprise is always different from the academic research done by our beloved founder. In order to share new ways we serve children with autism, our website is revamped and launches today to assist more children with autism.

Our new website is called star-autism.com: STAR is the abbreviation of our social enterprise (Science and Technology for Autism Remediation Limited), and "autism" is the keyword that will help parents of autistic children with autism, when they search for guidance online, find and remember us.
