IT INVOLVES DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETING SOCIAL COMMUNICATION AND IS OFTEN COMBINED WITH RESTRICTED INTERESTS AND/OR REPETITIVE BEHAVIOR. AN INABILITY TO FUNCTION SUCCESSFULLY AT HOME AND SCHOOL OFTEN COMPROMISES SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND IS DISHEARTENING TO ALL. BY PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA), CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ARE TAUGHT NEW FUNCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR BOTH CHILD AND FAMILY.IN 2024, 126 CHILDREN WERE AWARDED $350,483 IN APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS SCHOLARSHIPS. SINCE BEGINNING ITS LIFE CHANGING WORK IN 2006, THE FOUNDATION FOR AUTISM CARE, EDUCATION, AND SERVICES HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $3 MILLION IN ABA SCHOLARSHIPS.SCHOLARSHIPS ARE DETERMINED BY CONFIRMED DIAGNOSIS AND DEMONSTRATED NEED FOR FINANCIAL HELP TO PAY FOR APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) BEYOND WHAT INSURANCE WILL COVER. MOST APPLICATIONS COME FROM WORKING FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE JUST BEEN DIAGNOSED AND CANNOT AFFORD RECOMMENDED TREATMENT AND FAMILIES WHO CANNOT AFFORD TREATMENT DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. 3500 3500 APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) PRACTITIONERS HAVE A HEART FOR SERVING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER. THESE HARDWORKING WOMEN AND MEN PATIENTLY PROVIDE DAILY COACHING, INSTRUCTION, MENTORING AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AS THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE SENSE OF THEIR DAY-TO-DAY WORLD. THE CERTIFICATION FOR THIS IMPORTANT WORK IS THE BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST (BCBA). ABA CENTERS OFTEN COVER THE COST OF THE CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION BUT MOST DO NOT COVER THE COST OF EDUCATIONAL COURSEWORK IN SUPPORT OF ATTAINING THIS IMPORTANT CERTIFICATION.
