In America, 1 in 88 children have an autism spectrum disorder. While studies have shown that early and intense therapies are effective in treating individuals with autism, most children do not receive such treatments due to financial restraints and the fact that they're not covered by medical insurance. Often, families must put together a treatment program for their child via several funding sources. National non-profit organization ACT Today! fills the gap by providing treatment services and support to children with autism and their families.
Founded in 2005 by a group of passionate people and Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, ACT Today! stands for Autism Care and Treatment Today! As the name implies, ACT Today! promotes immediate action to treat autism. The organization introduces and helps facilitate early and ongoing treatment by giving individuals and families affected by autism the resources they need such as funding, guidance, and referrals. ACT Today!'s mission is to see every child with autism reach their highest potential.
