LifeLab Kids Foundation Becomes a Certified Autism Center™
Industry: Education
“The lack of accredited autism centers is outstanding. The waitlists for families seeking a diagnosis can range anywhere between 6 months to 2 years – that is precious time where children could be receiving services. This certification program enables us to truly meet the needs of our community right now.” said Jai Reddy, the founder of LifeLab Kids.
