Catalight

In the last 25 years, autism prevalence has climbed dramatically. That means the need for care continues to grow, while the wait for initial evaluation stretches over months for many families because access hasn’t kept pace. Catalight is working to change that through innovative care models, caregiver-led programs and scalable solutions that expand capacity. On Giving Tuesday, your support strengthens these efforts and helps ensure families receive timely, tailored care. Join us in building a system that meets families where they are, when they need it.

When your child is not OK, nothing is OK until you find a path to support and care. Catalight is driving new approaches that expand capacity, reduce wait times and empower families, because care shouldn’t depend on geography, resources, or luck. This Giving Tuesday, your gift will help scale clinical innovation, improve access, and ensure more children receive timely, accurate diagnoses and personalized support. Together, we can build a future where every family feels seen and supported from day one. Donate today!

Across the U.S., families often wait far too long for an autism evaluation. With autism now affecting 1 in 31 children, delays in access are growing. Early diagnosis helps families take control of their own story. This Giving Tuesday, Catalight is focused on accelerating solutions that expand access, scale clinical innovation and create pathways so no family has to wait for care. Your support will help families access programs that improve wellbeing and ensure they get the right care at the right time. Join us in building a future where every child gets the support they deserve—without delay. Donate today!

Understanding the Economic Impact of Autism The societal cost of autism over the three decades ending in 2029 is expected to reach $15 trillion. This underscores the pressing need for ongoing research and innovation in autism care to drive sustainability. At Catalight, we are committed to value-based care models to drive access and affordability.

Autism prevalence has been on a steep rise, increasing by 300% over the past 25 years. What’s driving this? At Catalight, we believe understanding the reasons behind this trend is crucial for developing effective change.

The demand for board-certified behavior analysts is 60 times what it was a decade ago. That’s thanks to rising rates of autism, and the demand simply outpacing the supply of licensed providers.
