Our family struggles just to get our child to speak. How can scientific research, like the kind CAN funds, really make a difference in our lives?
Scientific research is already beginning to make a difference in the lives of people with autism. Current research on neuroplasticity has helped us understand that there is hope for retraining the brain at any age, which is why we are so excited about our new Neural Retraining Initiative. The Rapid Prompting Method created by Soma Mukhopadhyay and brought to the United States by our co-founder, Portia Iversen, is helping children who were thought to be locked inside their own minds to communicate with their parents, teachers and loved ones. We are funding assistive technology that will eventually help other non-verbal children to express themselves. There is much to be optimistic about in the field of autism research – but all of this miraculous progress is only possible through the continued support of people like you.
