Donna's Story: Finding Hope for Her Autistic Daughter in Mexico
A Mother Journey - Affordable Autism Therapy for Her Daughter
By Donna
As a mother, you always want the best for your child. When my 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with autism in February 2023, it was a challenging time for our family. She is non-verbal, has social issues, constant stimming, and a learning disability. We tried Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in our Home Country United States, but we wanted to explore more options to help her improve.
My daughter’s behavior was often unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming. She would have frequent meltdowns, hitting and kicking in frustration when she couldn’t express herself. She also had difficulty sleeping and would often wake up multiple times during the night, screaming and inconsolable. Simple tasks like getting dressed or eating a meal could turn into a battle, leaving both of us exhausted and stressed.
The high costs of treatment in the USA were prohibitive. The cheapest quote we got was $20,000, which was out of our reach. Determined to find a more affordable option, I remembered a conversation I had with a friend whose child was also suffering from autism. She mentioned that they found an affordable and effective treatment in Mexico. Inspired by her experience, I began researching autism therapy options in Mexico. Determined to find a more affordable option, I began researching autism therapy in Mexico. During my search, I came across an article on PlacidWay that highlighted affordable and effective treatments.
I reached out to PlacidWay, and they were incredibly responsive and helpful. They recommended Stem Health in Tijuana, Mexico, and connected me with Dr. M. Sc. David Uribe Rodríguez. The package they offered was within our budget of $6,500, which made it possible for us to proceed with the treatment.
“PlacidWay made everything so easy,” I said. “Their patient coordinator answered all my questions and reassured me every step of the way.”
We planned our trip from the 22nd to the 26th, flying to San Diego and then traveling to Tijuana. Stem Health arranged for our transportation, ensuring a smooth journey for us. The professionalism and empathy of Dr. Rodríguez and his team were evident from the start.
The treatment provided hope for improvement in my daughter's condition.
“Seeing the care and dedication from Dr. Rodríguez gave me confidence that we were in the right place,” I shared. “The process was seamless, and the staff made us feel at ease throughout.”
My daughter's journey with autism is ongoing, but the stem cell therapy has given us hope. The improvements we have seen so far are encouraging, and I am grateful for the support from PlacidWay and Stem Health. Finding an affordable and effective treatment for my daughter has made a significant difference in our lives, and we look forward to her continued progress.
Without the support from PlacidWay and Dr. Rodríguez, we wouldn’t have been able to give our daughter this chance,”. “We are so thankful for this opportunity.”
