The Problem
Without proper tools, autistic children don't have equal opportunity to learn about the planet. Communication boards help non-speaking children and adults learn by pointing to words and symbols. Too often, tools only display basic feelings and minimal physical needs, limiting learning. Accessing tools and care for autistic children is difficult -- 45% of families with autistic children experience delays/limited access. 30% can't get access to autism treatment at all. (NIH.gov)
