Misha is only seven years old and has autism. He is delayed in speech and mental development: he doesn't speak, only vocalizing and grunting, doesn't understand spoken language, and mostly responds to gestures and intonation. His self-preservation instinct is weakened—he might run away during walks or climb to dangerous heights. His self-care skills are poorly developed: Misha needs help with dressing, eating, and other daily activities.
For over four years, Misha has been attending a special needs preschool. Experienced specialists work with him daily: a psychologist, a speech therapist, a mental health professional, a sensory integration specialist, and others.
To determine the optimal treatment and rehabilitation program, Misha needs genetic testing—whole exome sequencing. The results could unlock new opportunities: they can help determine the right course of support and give him the chance to master important skills for adapting to everyday life.
Let's help Misha take a step towards the future!
