Waqf Based Autism Spectrum Disorder Care Centre Framework: Adapting Typical Structure for a Public-Private Partnership

Abstract

The need for developing low cost one stop center for ASD patients is a crucial component of the growth equation between normal parents and parents with ASD children who are struggling financially. Unfortunately, the government cannot afford to spend on big investment projects for ASD’s patients due to budget limits. In addition, worldwide economic recovery is slowing down and the increasing cost of living also worsening the condition. Despite that, basic wellbeing needs should maintain a right direction growth similar the demographic growth to satisfy the ASD population’s demand. The insufficiency of fit resources brings a gap to this balancing rule by leaving the way to imbalance within the society which can put the stability of states in danger of loss, harm, or failure. Therefore, all sectors can play an important role by collaborating with the government to create partnerships in searching for enough sources. Waqf is suggested to be part of the solution for financing problems. The paper focuses on parents with ASD issues, but its conclusions are of broader interest. Institutions, public service and industries involved in ASD need to seek new configurations of collaboration and combine all available public and private experts to circumvent this financial problem.
