Did you know that 1 in 6 children in the U.S. has a developmental disability, ranging from mild speech delays to more serious conditions like autism spectrum disorder? The reality for these families is often marked by significant challenges and a lack of support. Isolation: A study by the National Autism Association found that 75% of parents of children with autism feel isolated or alone. Discrimination: According to the National Disability Rights Network, 75% of parents of children with disabilities experience discrimination. Financial Strain: Families of children with disabilities spend an average of $17,000 more per year on healthcare and related expenses (Autism Society, 2022). Access Issues: Nearly 1 in 4 families struggle to access necessary services due to long waiting lists, high costs, or lack of local providers (National Center for Education Statistics, 2022). Employment Impact: 49% of parents report that managing their child’s needs impacts their ability to maintain full-time employment, leading to financial strain (Easterseals, 2022). Social Isolation: 44% of parents with children who have disabilities feel socially isolated due to caregiving demands (CDC, 2023).
