Some of the grants will pay for biomedical interventions such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy or gastrointestinal interventions. Some grants pay for getting an assessment. The grant applications are simple to fill out.
The important point to note is that money from these grants never goes directly to families - and it may be used only for autism treatments and related costs (not to, for example, keep the house warm in winter).
