Please sign this petition if you also agree that Autism should be listed under the PMB (prescribed minimum benefits) conditions as specified by medical schemes.

By having Autism listed as such condition, it will provide many children with this diagnosis to attend therapy sessions within the private sector. This will ultimately alleviate the financial burden from the parents to help their children reach their optimal level of functioning and potential.
If you need more information regarding PMB /autism, you are welcome to contact us: jacky@ioptimizerehab.co.za
