Autism Treatment: When ABA Didn't Work We Found Success With The Son-Rise Program http://www.autismtreatment.org - Jackie's son was deep in his own world of autism - non-verbal, no eye contact, inflexible, with frequent tantrums. The Autism Treatment Center of America trade;, founded in 1974 by Samahria Lyte Kaufman and Barry Neil Kaufman, teaches parents a unique autism treatment called The Son-Rise Program. The Son-Rise Program is a loving, accepting, home based approach that parents use to connect with their children and help them emerge from autism and other developmental disorders. It was awarded the Best Autism Therapy at the AutismOne National Conference. Before they found The Son-Rise Program Jackie's son received ABA and Floortime autism therapies, but these autism treatments did not reach their son. In fact he went deeper into his unreachable world. After learning about The Son-Rise Program at the Autism Treatment Center of America trade;, Jackie experimented with a technique called "joining" and her son immediately looked at her for the first time in a meaningful way. Now Jackie's son is a happy child with language and affection and interaction!

Autistic children of federal workers in 22 states begin receiving insurance coverage this month for a key behavioral treatment, under a decision by the Office of Personnel Management. Maryland, home to the third-largest population of federal workers in the nation, is not one of them. "These families desperately need the best coverage for their kids," said Stuart Spielman, senior policy adviser and counsel for Autism Speaks. He said the advocacy group would petition the OPM to expand its coverage as quickly as possible. "I am always hopeful that we are going to see positive changes," he said. "I can tell you we will be working to make sure more children, rather than fewer, will be covered." Advocates say the treatment, called applied behavior analysis, or ABA, is essential to helping autistic children reach their fullest potential. But under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, it had been considered an educational, not medical, intervention. The OPM has decided to allow, rather than require, coverage for ABA. Maryland is one of 28 states and the District of Columbia in which no insurance carrier for federal workers is providing coverage. For autistic children of federal workers in Maryland and other such states, OPM … Continue reading →

WASHINGTON Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois returned to work on Thursday by conquering a steep flight of U.S. Capitol stairs, stopping on occasion to gather himself and flash a thumbs-up. Nearly a year after suffering a stroke, Kirk, a Republican, accomplished his climb with Vice President Joe Biden grasping his right arm and burly Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., steadying him with an arm around his waist. Shouts of bravo! and yea, Mark! sounded as dozens of senators and House members applauded an ascent described later as improbable given the severity of Kirks stroke. Newly elected Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a double amputee as a result of her Iraq war wounds, called it a fantastic day for people with disabilities. Kirk took his regular seat in the Senate known as the Candy Desk for its drawer full of goodies for members to resume a political career that many thought had been cut short after he was stricken on Jan. 21, 2012. His achievement was made possible by months of grueling therapy. Feels great, Kirk said, when asked by a reporter what it was like to return to work. He used his Twitter account later to say: Will never forget seeing my … Continue reading →
