ccording to the Stanford Medicine News Center,
demand for autism treatment is over eighteen times
larger than the available supply of caregivers in the
U.S. Combine that demand with a climbing prevalence in
autism diagnosis – the CDC (Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention) reported a growth of over 15 percent this
year – and many individuals and families are left waiting
for answers. Individuals with autism and their families
require timely diagnosis and treatment but are often stopped
by the barriers of distance, cost, and unavailability of
experienced providers.
Boise, Idaho based, Behavior Imaging ® is one prominent
organization that works to eradicate all these barriers. They
relentlessly focus on developing technology that increases
disabled people’s access to care. The company has served
over 20,000 clients in ten countries to date and has major
clients such as the US Air Force, State Departments of
Education, and several leading universities.
The company has also won awards from the Small Business
Administration (awarded in 2016 at the White House) and
the Google/Autism Speaks award for its disruptive business
model that allows families to share clinically relevant data
from their homes to accelerate their child's diagnostic
assessment.
