Luke has received Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy since his diagnosis. ABA has 30+ years of research that proves early intervention is crucial for children with autism to reach their maximum potential. When Luke entered kindergarten within the public school system, he regressed and lost many of the skills he had previously mastered. He currently is enrolled in a home school program with private ABA therapists. The cost for the recommended amount of ABA therapy is approximately $1,000.00/week. Luke’s other medical expenses such as biomedical supplements, DAN (Defeat Autism Now) physician, private Speech/Language Pathologist/Board Certified Behavior Analyst, etc. can exceed an additional $200.00/week. The annual expense of providing the optimal level of care is in excess of $60,000.00. Insurance deems most of these expenses medically unnecessary thus providing little to no assistance. Our parental goals are to provide the greatest opportunity for Luke to become a productive member of society and most importantly, live with dignity. We sincerely thank you for your support. God Bless!
