The BCI Mission and what it means to me
Being the mother of an autistic adult, I understand how difficult it can be to access services. When my son was first diagnosed, it was a painful thing to watch him slip further behind his peers while we fought for services he desperately needed. Working with BCI, I am grateful to now be part of the solution. BCI’s dedication to reaching out to underserved communities through compassion backed by science, means so much to me.
