Throughout our region, thousands of families are stuck in limbo, waiting for services for their children with autism. Their situation is a desperate one.
Autism is an developmental disability that affects how a person learns, communicates, and interacts socially. When a child with autism isn’t taught how to appropriately identify and express what they are feeling, the resulting behaviors can be unbearable. Severe tantrums that are inconsolable, problems with bladder control, unable to bear the touch of a loving parent, and even hitting or other forms of aggression are some of the ways a child may express their frustration.
Without quality autism services, these behaviors often worsen and become harder and harder to treat.
At Potential, we understand the despair of these families and are working diligently to help end the wait list for autism services in our region. At our center alone there are 200 children who are waiting for access to services. Many of these have been waiting for a year or more.
Regardless of the amount, your contribution to Potential will have a tremendous impact by allowing us to do three things:
· Expand the reach of our center through the addition of new sites
· Recruit and train the staff needed to expand services in both the clinic and home setting (it costs $2,500 to recruit, hire and train a new employee to provide services)
· Add specialized programs to meet the unique needs of these children
By helping us end the waitlist, you will provide these families and children with more than quality autism services. You will give them hope for a brighter future.
