Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a Central American country, known for its beautiful biodiversity and wildlife, and Pacific and Caribbean beaches. There are twelve different climatic zones, offering rainforests, volcanoes, mountains, waterfalls, and extraordinary views. The people of Costa Rica are friendly, family oriented, and kind, with a rich culture and strong community ties.
​​
Currently, there is no official autism statistic for Costa Rica in existence, but the WHO estimates that 1 in 150 people have autism, worldwide. In Costa Rica, these families face challenges in obtaining supplies and therapies, including low resource settings, lack of access, cost, distance, and the need for increased awareness and diagnostic practices within the country. There is a great need for services, therapies, supplies, and support.
