Luke Priddis
For the thousands of children in Australia with Autism Spectrum Disorders, early intervention services are vital.
These services help our kids learn vital skills like how to talk, read, write, draw, and even how to play with other children. These skills give them a better chance at independence as they grow up. The foundation aims to improve the lives of children with ASD. They provide educational services for parents and children, funding for research, special education groups, fitness groups and play groups for kids with ASD.
