Variety Show of Hearts: Autism assessment unlocks early intervention supports

Around the age of 2, Kinaan’s parents noticed he was delayed in his speech, and he didn’t display any real sense of danger. Kinaan was referred to a Paediatrician, who recommended he get an autism assessment. And even though the family could not afford to pay for a private assessment, Kinaan’s mom booked an appointment anyway. It wasn’t until a week before the appointment that they discovered Variety was providing Autism Assessment grants.
