1 in every 50 children is currently living with autism, a developmental disability that is linked with a wide range of medical and behavioral traits. Living with autism can be incredibly challenging for children and their families, especially because children with autism often struggle with speech and non-verbal communication. Therapies and treatment can significantly improve behaviors, drastically improving the lives of these children and families; however, oftentimes therapy is costly and not covered by insurance.
