AUTISM ON THE RISE
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has become one of America’s leading disabilities among children.
It is impacting millions of lives daily. The national average according the Center for Disease Control is 1-150. Unlike other disorders, the outcome of this disorder for each child can change dramatically with early intervention — specifically early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI)
| Today's Hope services

• Maximum of $36,000 over three years
• A monthly payment of $1,000 sent directly to providers who meet certain criteria for providing early intervention services |

HOW CHILDREN BENEFIT
FROM EARLY INTERVENTION
The cost of this complex and intensive intervention can be overwhelming
for most families. We offer support.
Without immediate intervention directly after diagnosis precious time is wasted. Studies have shown that early intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s life by using techniques and methods to increase opportunities for learning. By creating this change a percentage of children with ASD will be able to access instruction from a typical classroom setting thereby allowing them to be part of a very important academic and social setting.
Additionally, there is methodology available to help these families with some very intense behavioral issues that take place both in the home and community settings
