Institute For Child Development

The Institute for Child Development (IWRD) Foundation has provided extensive help in various areas to children with autism spectrum disorders and their families since 2006. The Institute staff consists of highly specialized treatment professionals, and all instructors have years of experience working with children with autism spectrum disorders and have completed internships in the US over the course of many months. The Foundation Director is Anna Budzińska, Ph.D., a psychologist, supervisor, and the author of articles on effective teaching techniques for children with autism spectrum disorders.



The Institute’s activities consist of treatment, education, and research and use the newest scientific methods. We train specialists from Poland and the whole Europe and assist in founding similar institutions. Together with the University of Gdańsk, the Institute organizes scientific symposiums which attract great interest of specialists, scientists, and parents of children with autism spectrum disorders. The Institute also cooperates with Gdańsk University of Technology, the Medical University of Gdańsk, and the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (the Center for Modern Interdisciplinary Technologies).

The Institute for Child Development is one of the founding members of The Alliance for Scientific Autism Intervention (ASAI). The organization was founded in 2017 with the aim to develop and promote a model of effective and science-based treatment for people with autism spectrum disorders. The Director of IWRD, Dr. Anna Budzińska, is a member of the ASAI Board of Directors.



The IWRD Foundation owes its existence to Barbara Piasecka Johnson, who funded the construction of our building. Barbara Piasecka Johnson Foundation supports the Institute’s activities to this day. The Foundation also received the help of the Municipality of Gdańsk, which donated the plots for the building site. The official Ambassador of the IWRD Foundation is Mr. Adam Korol.

In 2021, the Institute for Child Development in Gdańsk (IWRD) celebrated its 15th anniversary. Since the very beginnings of our Foundation, we have made every effort to improve the lives of children with autism spectrum disorders and their parents, sparing no time and resources in the process. We are proud to say that over 50% of our students who have completed individual intensive treatment at IWRD enter mainstream schools and are indistinguishable from their peers.
