Gold Snail is an NGO founded by Quanbao Yu in 2011. Quanbo majored in Education for Special Needs and worked as a teacher for young autistic individuals ages 9 to 16. Through interaction with autistic students, he noticed that this group of people is not well supported by society after they leave school. To address this problem, Quanbo started Gold Snail. Gold Snail has been providing professional services to autistic individuals their families since 2011. Their services include providing art skill training, day care, overnight accommodations, self-care training and employment training, stress relief services, parent education and family pension benefits education. In addition, they also provide recreational and sports activities to ensure holistic support. Gold Snail's ultimate goal is to help this group to integrate into the community like everyone else, improve their current living conditions, create a suitable service system, free the parents from worries and improve the life quality of them and their family.
