Why SBT?

To educate and to reach the lost and abandoned.

"Autism doesn't make you stupid."
John Smyth

A message from John:

"I have been freed from the prison of autism to participate more fully after 16 years of loneliness.  Yet so many more remain in this prison…. (T)he blind and lame … no one currently regards them as incompetent, though they could not complete standardized tests without accomodation. How we have come to where we are is through ignorance, and education is the solution.”

If you know someone who is autistic and doesn’t communicate, chances are they are very intelligent and waiting for a chance to express themselves.

When you give someone an opportunity to communicate, you change their lives forever.
