"The La Crosse Autism Foundation is an exceptional organization and has been gracious in assisting our family. Our son, at the time of his diagnosis was non-communitive which was very frustrating for him, as well as us as parents. The La Crosse Autism Foundation kindly donated the funds to purchase an application on an electronic device to assist him with communicating through the use of pictures, these specific applications are very expensive. Our son immediately used the application and it promoted his language development significantly. He is now 8 years old and fully verbal. This gift not only relieved distress as parents but most importantly gave our son his voice. We are forever thankful to the La Crosse Autism Foundation and all they do for the community."
