Benjamin - 6 years old
This is our beautiful boy, Benjamin, who was diagnosed with mild to moderate autism at three and a half years old when I was 20 weeks pregnant with his little sister. He is currently in Senior Kindergarten, and loves cars, reading Dog Man books, singing, karate, and playing soccer with his friends.

I am writing about my daughter Makayla. She has severe Autism and is non verbal. She has been making life changing strides in IBI, which she is now being forced to leave because of the new Autism plan. She needs more therapy than your government is going to provide. Please help us. These children are going to grow into adults that will need more support than ever because of what this government is doing.

Justin was non verbal, still in diapers, had minimal eye contact, very poor gross and fine motor skills, played inappropriately with his peers and toys.

Justin initially began at 40 hours of intensive treatment, closely and lovingly ...
