About Us | Tade Akere Foundation

Driven by Empathy, Guided by Excellence

The Tade Akere Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a more inclusive world for neurodiverse individuals. We believe that autism and other neurological differences are not deficits to be cured, but unique perspectives to be understood and integrated into the fabric of society.

Founded on the principles of radical empathy and clinical excellence, we bridge the gap between diagnosis and day-to-day thriving. Our holistic approach involves not just the individual, but the families, educators, and communities that surround them.

Through our advocacy programs and the popular Dr. TadeTalks platform, we are reshaping the global conversation around mental wellbeing and neurodiversity.

Our Core Values

The pillars that support every program and decision we make.

Inclusion

Advocacy

We serve as a loud voice for those who are often unheard, challenging systemic barriers to success.

Collaboration

We believe the best solutions come from working together with families, experts, and community leaders.
