On track with TACT
Group hopes to make road to autism treatment a little less bumpy

If Laurie and Glenn James were able to give their son Luke all the recommended therapy to treat his autism, it would cost about $3,200 a month.

Insurance doesn't pay for much of his therapy and treatment, so finances dictate the amount of help Luke, 7, receives.

"It's devastating to make health decisions based on money," Laurie James said. "It's very disheartening to know we can't give him everything he needs."
