Autism is a very unique developmental disorder for which there is no cure. The autism spectrum is extremely wide so the disorder can manifest itself in a variety of ways and each case will be particularly unique to the individual.
Did You Know:
"1 out of every 88 children born in the USA are diagnosed with Autism."
"Research indicates that early identification is associated with dramatically better outcomes for individuals with autism. The earlier a child is diagnosed, the earlier the child can begin benefiting from one of the many specialized intervention approaches to treatment and education." - Autism Society of America
Autism's Now a Worldwide Epidemic!
Did you know that recent studies have shown there's currently what the media are referring to as a "worldwide autism epidemic".
In fact, based on official figures, more than 1.5 million people are affected in the United States alone, with one in every 150 children diagnosed.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg...
- In terms of developmental disabilities, autism is the third most common (only mental retardation and cerebral palsy rank ahead of it)
- Families with one autistic child have a 2 to 8 percent chance of having another autistic child
- Autism occurs more often than childhood cancer or cystic fibrosis
- Boys are three or four times more likely to be diagnosed with an ASD
- Mental retardation is present in 75-80% of individuals with autism
Those figures should make EVERYONE take notice...
But there is good news...
- When autism is detected and treated early disruptive behaviours can be minimized and costs associated with treatments can be reduced by 66%
This course is designed for people who are caregivers for autistic individuals( Parents and Educators) - particularly children and those that might be on the autism spectrum. This class is designed to help you understand the world of autism, spot the signs and/or symptoms of the autism spectrum so that you can help someone living with autism to live a richer life. Some basic knowledge of autism and the autistic spectrum would be helpful but is not an absolute necessity when registering for this course.
Nothing is kept secret - I reveal all I know ... and as I test even more things, those that are successful are added to the course - at no extra cost to you! This is a course that will continue to grow and grow.
