HOPE IS REAL. CHILDREN ARE RECOVERING.

A diagnosis or suspicion that your child has autism is devastating. After months or years of denial it cannot be denied any longer. You are faced with the greatest question of your life – how to best help your child. The difficult step toward finding answers is a courageous one that can be as frightening as the initial suspicion or confirming diagnosis. It means recognizing and rejecting that labyrinth of gobbledygook, circular reasoning, and non-answers parents most often hear.
It means educating yourself. It means trusting yourself. It means believing your child can get better.

YOUR INSTINCTS ARE RIGHT. THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

We have helped thousands of children by educating parents, practitioners, and others about treating the underlying biomedical conditions. This year’s theme, Change Has Come, reflects the immense strides our community has made over the last decade. Ten years ago no one believed a child with autism could get better. Today, thousands of children are getting better. And, yes, children are recovering.
