Research on Autism at University of Washington

As parents know who have children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in the areas of social reciprocity, communication and repetitive behaviors. Parents are naturally concerned about the future of their children and how they will integrate into the greater society. There is hope. Research being conducted at the University of Washington’s Autism Center indicates that intensive early intervention can make a critical difference for many children. This new intensive program has led to impressive gains in the I.Q. of very young children. This therapy was developed by Sally Rogers of University of California, Davis. Parents have reason for hope. Great strides are being made to improve the quality of life for children with ASD and their families. Families should always be cognizant that individualized and multidimensional treatment is still the standard that provides the most significant improvement in symptoms.

This is legal information only, not legal advice!
The above listed information about special education law is for general information only. General legal information is not the same as legal advice -- which requires the application of law to an individual's specific circumstances. Although I believe the information to be accurate and useful, I strongly recommend that you consult a lawyer if you want professional advice regarding your specific legal situation and do not rely solely on the information provided above.
