Give today, make tomorrow brighter for children with autism

Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disorder in the U.S., and Utah's rates of diagnosis is even higher than average. A staggering 1 in 54 children are diagnosed in Utah and the need for services has never been more critical.

That's why, at Kids Who Count, we are stepping up and expanding our services to include comprehensive autism treatment along with our early intervention services.

And, we need your help.

We'd like to help more kids like Miles (pictured above) who at 18 months wasn't talking at all. He was missing most of his developmental milestones and his family was getting frantic.

Fortunately Miles was referred to Kids Who Count and the timing couldn't have been better. He was able to get help quickly when his family became one of the first to start Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) through our brand new program: Autism Services at Kids Who Count.

“Miles is responding so well to ABA therapy and continues to make such rapid progress,” Miles' mother, Kohleen said. “We are so grateful that Kids Who Count was able to expand their services and start providing ABA therapy. There is such a great need!”

The need for autism treatment services is outpacing the number of providers in our community.

Please help us raise the start-up funding we need to develop a program and help to meet this need. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us get closer to our goal of expanding to meet this need.

"We are very optimistic that Miles and our family have a happy and bright future ahead of us," Kohleen said.

Let's work together to make that kind of a future possible for more children on the autism spectrum.
