Proceeds will benefit the Building Futures Autism Clinic’s Applied Behavioral therapy program for children with autism. Autism is an epidemic affecting an estimated 1 in 91 births. The goal of the clinic is to assist parents and teachers in unlocking each child’s unique learning potential, provide program training, develop behavior reduction plans, and facilitate the implementation of positive behavior support programs.

The Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention provided by the Building Futures Autism Clinic has been scientifically proven to change the ultimate outcome of a child with autism from 5% adult independence to 40-50% independence. To learn more about the program visit http://www.sos-healthcare.com.
