Addie Blumberg's younger sister, Dakota, was diagnosed with Autism at the age of two and was preverbal until the age of four. She watched as her sister grew increasingly frustrated with her inability to communicate with the outside world. It was at that time, her family found Great Start Therapy. With the help of talented therapists, Dakota began to find her voice through music and song. Eternally grateful, Addie works to help others have access to the same services that helped her sister thrive. 

Autism ALLways raises money by hosting fun runs, virtual walks, various events including their Walk with Friends, and incentivizing donations through artwork.  They then allocate their fundraising efforts through their partnership with Great Start Therapy to find families in need. If you are a Great Start family struggling, you could qualify for aid.

At Great Start Therapy, we want to expand access to necessary services. If your family is not able to cover the cost of copays and your child has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, you should reach out to owner Melanie Krevitz to discuss potential options.
