Zion’s Perfect Week

Zion, a 4-year-old with level 3 severe autism, experienced a dream come true during a magical trip to Disney World with his family. This special week allowed Zion and his family to create unforgettable memories, free from their usual routines and challenges. 

Thank you from Zion’s Family

Zion’s mom expressed immense gratitude, saying, “Zion had an amazing time! We are so thankful that we were able to take Zion to Disney World! It wouldn’t have been possible without the Sunshine Foundation! It was such a perfect week, and it was nice for once not to have to worry about therapy appointments and hectic schedules.” 

Zion’s Diagnosis

Zion is diagnosed with level 3 severe autism. Level 3 autism, also known as severe autism, is the most significant level of autism spectrum disorder. Children with level 3 autism have limited or no speech, restricted social communication skills, and sensory processing issues. They require a higher level of support and supervision throughout their lifetime.
