Autism Breakthrough Solutions, a company specializing in autism speech therapy education is providing free help to NJ Parents

New Jersey Autism Communication Expert is making sure every local parent of a child with autism gets extra help

Autism Breakthrough Solutions, a company specializing in autism speech therapy and education is providing free help to NJ Parents. Parents have the ability to evaluate their child’s communication skills using a step-by-step tool, developed by a nationally recognized speech pathologist and expert, Karen Kabaki-Sisto who is native to the area. Parents will receive an immediate report of their child’s communication level, which can also be used to by a local speech therapist to gauge a starting point for continuing education and therapy.

NJ leads the country with the rate of autism, which is 1 out of every 45 kids affected. Karen Kabaki-Sisto is making this tool available locally to help families who need and want at-home therapy choices, since studies have shown it costs an average of $17,000 more per year to raise a child with autism.

She can be reached at www.icanforautism.com for comment along with the free assessment tool here: http://www.proprofs.com/survey/t/?title=autism-assessment-tool&page=1
