Julian's Village is a registered not-for-profit society in BC. "It takes a village to raise a child." At the age of 6, his funding was decreased by 70%.
At the age of 3 our son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We have benefited from the BC Government's Autism Support Program which provided him with funding for support workers, speech and behavioural therapists, to help him reach his potential. It is our hope that with continued support, Julian will be able to grow and develop into an independent adult.
