Leonardo’s story

Dear Act4Me,

My son Leonardo was diagnosed with Autism when he was 3 years old. Till then, our financial situation and lack of medical insurance never allowed us to provide him with the necessary treatment. Since he started to receive his therapies, we are very happy tosee the progress he has made. He is beginning to communicate with short phrases, follows simple instructions and has been able to start going to the bathroom and dress by himself.

He has also been able to interact a little bit more with his friends. Although we see his progress, we are very conscious we need to work everyday to maintain it or he will regress again. Leonardo still needs to work very hard with his therapy in order to improve his concentration, increase his development, attain milestones and also manage his frustrations. He is a very happy boy who loves music and likes to paint and play with sand or creams.

Thank you Act4Me for giving my son a chance, and for all the help you are giving to my little angel.

Sincerely,

Claudia Paredes
