Healing Thresholds was created to connect parents to autism therapy information as quickly and efficiently as possible. We know that a diagnosis of autism can be devastating. Complicating matters, is the emotional turmoil of the diagnosis coupled with an immediate need to understand autism, bring together a team of therapists, and identify the optimal therapies for your child. Healing Thresholds was created to help you meet those needs by synthesizing a vast amount of complex information and linking that information with parental advice. We do this through the use of therapy fact sheets, research summaries, news summaries, and a community center.
Healing Thresholds is funded through advertising and contributions from the community. We do not charge for access to the site or information on the site. If you have time to give, we ask that you consider documenting your journey here and responding to requests for information from other parents. We also ask that you consider helping to offset the cost of this site by a contribution through our secure PayPal link. Note that the contribution is not tax deductible. In addition, please consider giving to one of the many wonderful organizations that were created to fund research on autism. One of our favorites is Autism Canada Foundation (www.AutismCanada.org).
The exquisite black and white photographs you see throughout the site are images of children with autism taken by Thomas Balsamo, a Chicago photographer. More of his images can be seen in his book, Souls: Beneath & Beyond Autism.
