Individuals with ASD often have difficulty communicating, as well as understanding the thoughts and feelings of others, and this may make it difficult to express themselves. ASD also includes PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified), Autism, Asperger’s, Rett’s Syndrome, and CDD (Childhood Disintegrative Disorder). The scholarship being offered by KLT is intended to provide assistance in achieving the educational goals of an individual who has been diagnosed with ASD.
