2023 Autism License Plate
We are pleased to share how Joshua’s House Foundation has utilized the funds awarded through the Autism License Plate Grant to continue supporting our community. We would like to highlight a particularly touching story that demonstrates the impact of our work.
Thanks to the promotion of our workshops on social media, a mother, desperate for help, reached out to us regarding her 17-year-old son, who had stopped speaking entirely for nearly six months. At that point, they turned to our foundation for support.
After conducting a comprehensive evaluation, we discovered that in addition to being on the autism spectrum, the young man was also suffering from selective mutism. We immediately began working with him, providing not only mental health therapies but also equine therapy, and we integrated him into our specialized camps.
Throughout his treatment, he gradually began to regain his vocabulary, heal emotionally, and show remarkable progress. We also provided his family with the tools and guidance needed to effectively support him on his journey to recovery.
Stories like this are a clear example of the positive impact that the Autism License Plate Grant has enabled us to make in the lives of individuals with autism and their families. We are deeply grateful for this support, which has allowed us to offer hope and healing to those who need it most.
“The World Health Organization’s new Mental Health Atlas paints a disappointing picture of a worldwide failure to provide people with the mental health services they need, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighting a growing need for mental health support”
