About Us

A SMALL CHARITY WITH A BIG HEART

Anna Kennedy Online (AKO) is a small charity with a big heart, founded to support and champion the autism community. We exist to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and celebrate the strengths and talents of autistic individuals. Founded by Anna Kennedy OBE — a mother, educator, and campaigner — our journey began with the opening of a school when suitable education was not available for her two autistic sons. That spirit of action continues today through Anna Kennedy Online.
