Based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Education and other governmental agencies, autism is growing at a startling rate of 10-17 percent per year putting a generation of children at risk. In most states, health insurance reimbursement for the treatment of autism is extremely limited or nonexistent.

Multiple contributing factors such as genetics, vaccines, and environmental toxins have been explored. With a lack of an organized approach to diagnosis and treatment and a lack of trained professionals, children have not been receiving timely interventions.
