How Your Support Makes a Difference

Your registration fee supports medical grants for children, like Elvis, age 4 from East Brunswick, NJ. Elvis was diagnosed with autism, sensory processing disorder and low muscle tone at age two. His neurologist recommended ABA, Speech, OT and PT as medical necessary but his insurance did not cover outpatient therapy. His family was desperate to get Elvis in therapy but was nervous about the expense. Thanks to a medical grant from UHCCF Elvis is now receiving outpatient therapy and is making huge progress; he’s gone from nonverbal to semi verbal. He can now say ‘I love you, mommy”, can eat by himself, use utensils, and dress himself. He can enjoys playing on the playground with slides, and swings. Elvis’ family is grateful for the hope provided to them by UHCCF.
