I KNOW THIS IS A LONG READ AND MAYBE YOU DONT DO BJJ.
But I'm hoping you can you can find the importance in contributing this cause! ASD special needs children need all the assistance to receive the right treatment and support. I know this first hand because Chase is one of them.
Government Funding is hard to get and they did not earmark enough for all those who need it. Also they have make it hard to access this funding. with all of their financial support combined, it is not enough to get Austin the ABA therapy he desperately needs, which can range from $125-$175/hour with a behavioral clinician.
Currently, Austin is receiving 1 hour a week of therapy provided by the OAP for only 12 weeks. He is only provided one program per fiscal year. This is severely below the recommended amount of therapy for young children newly diagnosed with ASD. The National Autism Research Council (USA-based) recommends 15-25 hours of intensive ABA therapy per week for young children. Furthermore, children who start IBI before age 4 showed better outcomes than those who started after age 4 on a variety of outcome measures.
Unfortunately, our Canadian government programs are failing our neurodiverse children. Therefore, I am humbly asking for your help in giving Austin a chance at a brighter future. With the help of you donations, I would like to raise enough money to get Austin into an Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) program which will provide him with 18 hours of ABA therapy a week, three days a week, for 6 months. There is no cure for Autism but with IBI Austin will have a chance to learn how to speak, verbalize his needs, regulate his emotions and blossom into a boy who will not be permanently victimized by financial hardship.
As a fellow parent of an autistic child, we must remember that we are the voice for our children who cannot speak. We are the protectors of those who cannot protect themselves. Please give Austin a voice with your generous donation. With your gift, I am certain his first words will be “Thank You.”
