It is a profound day of autism awareness in Kentucky

Louisville, Ky. – Monday is in -depth day of autism sensitization day in Kentucky.

According to the centers for the control of the disease, about 27% of children with autism have the intensive symptoms of a profound autism, and about 1 out of 36 children in the USA are diagnosed.

And Kentucky pays 13 to 14 million US dollars a year to send children with profound autism from the state because the state has no residence to help.

But Rachel Moldoveanu wants to change that.

Her son Frankie has profound autism. He is currently in a facility in Kansas, which is equipped to give him the special treatment and care that he needs.

“The physical pain of being separated from your child, especially from someone who is not verbal who cannot tell you that you are sad or are at home. I have to zoom in with him where he waves me and kisses me,” said Rachel. “We fail families in Kentucky because the best option for my child was 700 miles away and that shouldn't be the case.”

It is committed to families like their own for a facility, so that nobody else has to go through this pain.

Senator Danny Carroll asked the only living provider of the state, the most important assets Kentucky, why they were not expanded to accommodate families. But they called it a workforce.

Suggestions that came from a recently negotiated hearing were to send legislators to an excursion to residential institutions across the country that perform well in this area, and to share their successes to Frankfort and how Kentucky could advance.
