Story of Success: Ian
Ian was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4, although he had already been receiving speech and occupational therapy for several years before. When he first enrolled at Lighthouse Autism Center a year later, Ian did not play with his friends and he often refused to do what his parents asked of him. After a year at the center, Ian had made great strides in gaining independence, staying on task, and answering questions.
