NEURODIVERSITY ADVOCACY
Little Boy Blue Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit striving to educate communities and individuals, empower people and families through self-advocacy, provide funding for therapies and resources, and host events to promote neurodiversity, respect, and inclusion.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
In 2020, Isaiah and Laci Swann were heartbroken and frustrated by the lack of care, support, and sense of urgency during and after their son's ASD diagnosis. Feeling alone and unsure, they embraced the words of a wise advocate: “No one will fight for your babies the way you will, so you must be their voice.” So, the couple began educating themselves about autism and striving to find the best options for their son. Realizing the need for greater community, education, and awareness, they combined Isaiah’s creativity and Laci’s business acumen to create the Little Boy Blue Foundation. The foundation advocates for neurodiversity, organizes events, and provides financial support to individuals and families in the autism community. Isaiah and Laci understand that this journey does not have a finish line, as there is something new to learn and apply every day. Yet they choose to celebrate the wonderful milestones along the way and encourage others to do the same.
1 in 54 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with ASD.
MINORITY GROUPS TEND TO BE DIAGNOSED LATER AND LESS OFTEN.
About 40% of children with autism do not speak.
IT costs OVER $8,600 extra per year to educate a student with ASD.
There is no medical detection for autism.
THIS IS WHY WE ADVOCATE.
