A Marketplace for Those with Special Needs

<h1>A Marketplace for Those with Special Needs</h1>Author: <a title="Gavin Pedley" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/gavin-pedley/280265.htm">Gavin Pedley</a> How great would it be if you could develop a garage sale where not only could you sell all your no longer needed special needs equipment, but also find new and used equipment for your child at a greatly reduced price? Bid4AllNeeds.com has come to the rescue. Bid4AllNeeds.com is a brand new auction site providing an online auctioning experience specifically targeted to the special needs community.  Whatever you might be looking for, whether it be communication aids, verbal skills tools, sensory integration aids, or mobility devices, Bid4AllNeeds.com is committed to developing a marketplace where the special needs community can meet, buy and sell online. By introducing a marketplace for those with special needs, Bid4AllNeeds.com has been informed by the increase of the numbers of people, especially children, being diagnosed with special needs, especially incidences of autism spectrum disorder.  All over the world, the incidence of autism and it’s possibly related developmental disabilities including Asperger’s Syndrome and ADD/ADHD are rising dramatically. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the frequency of autism had gone up to one in every one hundred children, and every one in ninety-four boys. In the UK one in every six children are diagnosed with a developmental disorder, with one in every 166 children are challenged with autism. For families of children with special needs, the cost of providing the care and educational opportunities of such a child can be staggering, both economically and emotionally. The Autism Society has estimated that the cost of taking care of a child dealing with autism can run from $3.5 to $5 million over a lifetime, and the cost to the overall economy, for education, medical needs, employment and therapeutic needs is estimated to be over $90 billion in the U.S.  In the UK, raising a child with autism is expected to cost £1.2 million over a lifetime. Not only has Bid4AllNeeds.com created a marketplace for those with special needs where good deals may be found, but those who are buying and selling special needs tools, aids, toys and education materials also benefit. Auctioning no-longer-needed items is good for the economy and the environment. Along with the economic benefit to families and businesses using the website, Bid4AllNeeds has committed to donate a percentage of all profits to a chosen charity each month.  So in addition to giving a special targeted community an opportunity to save money and earn cash by buying and selling on the auction site, this company is also contributing to the community as well. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bid4allneeds.com">http://www.bid4allneeds.com</a>About the Author: I'm a full time care worker for Autistic people and work for a company called Spectrum, who in my opinion has the best approach to looking after people with an ASD.
