Meet Austin and Olivia, your 2016 Summer Scamper Patient Heroes

“They are such happy children who love a good adventure,” says Lee, dad to 7-year-old Austin and 5-year-old Olivia. “They’re also pranksters. Who knew 5-year-olds like to send texts?”

Austin and Olivia have autism, and have participated in studies at Stanford that helped them build language skills through behavioral therapy. “They have responded extremely well to the therapy. We’re so grateful to the Stanford team,” Lee adds.

Thanks to your support of Autism Research, more families like Austin and Olivia’s can have opportunities to embark on adventures and show that there is no limit for children with autism.
