Financial Help
It has been very expensive to raise a child on the Autism Spectrum with very little
financial help.
Many treatment modalities, especially the
bio-medical
ones, can cost thousands of dollars. I have applied for a few autism grants, but so far have not been successful in receiving any. My hope is to share with you all the articles, resources and support institutions that I find, in order to help families get the interventions they need for their children. This ranges from financial help, educational, social, environmental and biomedical assistance.

I have heard Robert Kiyosaki speak on the benefits of Network Marketing during this difficult financial time. I decided to work with
The Usana Health Sciences Company
because of their high integrity, their desire to stop degenerative diseases, and offer financial help to those that want to be of service to the community. It is hard to pay for all of the medical care required for ADD and Autism Spectrum children. This is one way I found to help supplement my income, while at the same time taking care of my own health. The United Healthcare Children's Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to facilitating access to medical-related services that have the potential to significantly enhance either the clinical condition or the quality of life of the child and that are not fully covered by the available commercial health benefit plan. This “support” is in the form of a medical grant to be used for medical services not covered or not completely covered by commercial health benefit plans.
