About us
One in fifty-nine children will be diagnosed with autism, the emotional and economic burden of autism is very high and it has a ripple effect: it effects the individual with ASD, their family, community and society in general.
SensPD strives to become the main screening test for Autism right after birth, hence early interventions will be available and the lives of those children will change dramatically for the best. SensPD is not the story of one in fifty-nine but the story of all of every one of us. As parents, we all want the best for our children and SensPD provides that hope.
Our mission at SensPD is to make sure that all newborns are properly tested and no family has to deal with the fear and worry of late autism detection ever again.
SensPD was founded with a solid team with a proven business track record, coupled with the strong support of the scientific community.
