Testimonial
“Despite our daughter’s learning and social difficulties, she didn’t qualify for an aide. She struggled with school and constantly cried before and after going. This turned around when The Light Up Autism Foundation sponsored our daughter to receive daily ABA therapy at school.
Academically she greatly improved and her confidence in herself grew.
The fact the therapy is intertwined with the curriculum and her school life means the help she receives is truly relevant to her daily life.
Children like our daughter can so easily fall through the cracks during their school years, and the after affects would be lifelong. I can’t imagine where she’d be without the intervention of Light Up Autism Foundation and we are so grateful.”
