| Legislation to Support Family Caregivers Advances |
| |
The Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act was introduced to support family caregivers in the United States, the millions of individuals who rely on them, as well as the economy and workplaces who benefit from their contributions.
Family caregivers serve as the most important source of support for people with autism and other chronic health conditions, disabilities, or functional limitations. The majority of adults with autism live at home with family caregivers. Whether they are a relative, partner, friend, or neighbor, family caregivers provide a broad range of assistance by helping with activities such as eating, bathing, dressing, transportation, managing finances, performing medical/nursing tasks, tracking medications, and coordinating with health providers and settings. Estimates show 3.5 million individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities live with family caregivers, of whom over 850,000 are age 60+. Moreover, in 2013, 40 million family caregivers provided unpaid care valued at about $470 billion. If family caregivers were no longer available, the economic cost to the U.S. health care and long-term services and supports (LTSS) systems would increase astronomically. Read on... |

| Banking on brains for clues to autism |
| |
New initiatives aim to increase brain donations for autism research and maximize what scientists can learn from these precious specimens.
Leslie Bolen was there for every one of her son Michael's medical tests. He'd had more than his fair share in his 14 years, but this last one was almost too much for his mother to bear.
That test was on a Saturday night in April 2016. Eight days earlier, Michael had had a seizure at the residential facility where he lived. He had autism, and he'd had seizures almost every week since he was 8 years old, but never one this bad. He stopped breathing, and his heart stopped beating. Medics managed to restart his heart with a shot of adrenaline, but his brain never recovered. Read on... |

| Acetaminophen during pregnancy is associated with ADHD |
| |
A large study recently published in the journal Pediatrics finds further evidence of a link between prenatal acetaminophen usage and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
According to some studies, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is becoming increasingly common. Why this is the case is not known; the causes and risk factors beneath ADHD are only slowly being unraveled.
Some of the increase is due to improvements in diagnosis and changes in how the condition is assessed, but it seems that these factors alone cannot explain the size of the growth.
Recently, some scientists have focused on acetaminophen use during pregnancy as a potential factor. This over-the-counter medication is deemed relatively safe to use during pregnancy and is recommended to ease fever and pain. Read on... |

| In autism, intelligence scores may not predict school success |
| |
Many children with autism do better in school than their intelligence scores would predict, according to a new study1. And about 16 percent do worse.
The study is the first to track cognitive ability and academic skills in children with autism throughout childhood. The findings suggest that these children should be screened for learning difficulties regardless of their intelligence scores.
"For high-functioning children, sometimes you are not really focusing on academic skills, because you assume that they will be fine given their high cognitive profile," says lead investigator So Hyun "Sophy" Kim, assistant professor of psychology in clinical psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. "I think it's important to do more careful screening for potential learning difficulties or problems for these children." Read on... |

| Parents and Others Looking for Help!!! |
| |
My son is 5 and he will be in Kindergarten the next school year. He is currently in TK, and he is doing fine. He has an IEP, and he he is on general education with some support fron school staff. We would like to apply by choice to the following schools:
Holmes Elementary, Curie PTA Elementary, Spreckels Elementary
Do you have any experience with any of these schools in relation with the support and awareness for kids on the spectrum. Are these good options ? I will really appreciate your help and comments. Please write to [email protected]
My son is almost 19 and next year he will finish his certificate. He is done with typical academia. He is not interested in formal college. Are there different choices besides adult day programs or college. Employment is an option, however that seems limiting.
Are there any other ideas or options out there?
Laura [email protected]
I have a number of parents with whom I work who restrain their children with autism in times of escalation (e.g. physically harming others or self). None of them have been trained (e.g. PART training) on how to do so appropriately like the training we receive in special schools and inpatient units. Does anyone have a resource for parents to be properly trained? Thank you.

| PACT Offers Improvisational Theatre and Performing Arts Workshops |
| |
Positive Action Community Theatre (PACT) is a dynamic non-profit organization that offers improvisational theatre and performing arts workshops that teach life and social skills to teens and adults with autism and other special needs. Those most served by our programs are teens and young adults with high functioning autism (HFA)/Asperger's.
Our workshops include individuals with disabilities, as well as volunteers who act as peer mentors. We encourage a feeling of equality by not pointing out our volunteers or discussing anyone's differences. The fun, low-stress and upbeat environment of these workshops gives those with unique needs an opportunity to express their creativity, reconnect with peers, and learn life skills through observation and interaction.
Mastering an art is a very enriching experience. It also proves to be a great ally in living with the challenges of autism and other disabilities. Studying and expressing the performing arts brings those who have been isolated into a shared world. As they feel more connected, they are better able to express their thoughts and feelings and share their own unique gifts. We all benefit from their contributions.
Check out our upcoming Winter Workshops in Coastal North County!!!

| The Special Education Advocacy & Law Firm of Thomas S. Nelson |
| |
Your child's education comes first.
Your child is entitled to a "free and appropriate public education" or FAPE, whereby the school addresses all of your child's unique needs. A school district must provide your child with an appropriate education regardless of budget cuts, what's convenient, or what's available. Too often the school district offers a "one size fits all" program that fits within their needs, but not within the unique needs of your child. Ensuring that your child's education comes first means having the right team on your side. An effective team works cooperatively and collaboratively with the school district, using their knowledge, expertise and experience to foster quick and yet effective resolutions.
Practice Areas:
- Special Education Advocacy, including appearances at IEPs, obtaining/reviewing educational records, evaluation of current program
- Special Education Law, including representation in due process disputes regarding eligibility, assessments, IEP programming, private placement, manifestation determination meetings, and discipline
- General Education Discipline, including representation at expulsion hearings and appeals
- 504 Plans, including advocacy and legal representation at 504 Plan meetings and due process
- Civil Rights Claims, including representation in federal and state court proceedings regarding civil rights violations
- Regional Center Claims, including advocacy and legal representation at IPP meetings, obtaining/reviewing educational records, evaluation of current program, due process hearings, and appeals
- Appeals, including legal representation at federal and state court regarding appeals of IDEA, 504, expulsion, and civil rights matters
Serving children of all school districts located within San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino & Imperial Counties.

| Start a Speech Program Today at TAG!!! |
| |
Speech Therapy is provided by, or supervised by, an RDI® Program Certified Consultant who is also a licensed Speech/Language Pathologist. The goal of the TAG Speech Therapy Program is to increase the child's overall communication skills, and is not limited to work on verbal communication alone. It includes work on engagement as well as nonverbal and verbal communication, with an emphasis on building both receptive and expressive language skills. It is built on the principle that engagement must be established first to set the stage for language development, as this is how the process occurs in typical development. The TAG Speech Therapy Program incorporates RDI® principles and sensory supports to help the child be as regulated, attentive and responsive as possible during sessions. Continual evaluation occurs during speech therapy to determine the specific supports the child needs to make progress towards goals. Parents are included in sessions to assure carryover to work at home, which is an essential part of the Speech Therapy Program at TAG, Inc. Click here for more info!!!

| MitoSpectra for Mitochondrial Dysfunction |
| |
What is Mitochondrial Dysfunction?
Within each cell are "power sources" called mitochondria. In patients with autism and related disorders, these mitochondria may not function properly. This causes a decrease in cell performance and has been linked to hyperactivity, abnormal fatigue, muscle weakness, and regression of social and language skills.
A Link to Autism
During the last two decades, scientists have made a connection between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and mitochondrial dysfunction. In 2009, researchers from Johns Hopkins University produced guidelines for the treatment of ASD patients with mitochondrial failure. They recommended a vitamin cocktail to restore the function of mitochondria, and improve brain chemistry.

| Participate in a Research Survey! |

I am a graduate student of Communication Disorders at Eastern New Mexico University. The reason I'm reaching out is to see if ValeriesList can assist me with my graduate research. My focus is how applied behavior analysis (ABA) techniques are viewed by parents of children with autism. To collect information for my research I have an online questionnaire with a 12 minute video on survey monkey. Would it be possible for you to put the survey link in a newsletter or email to reach your followers? This research is very exciting to me, as it will illuminate perceptions of an important strategy in improving the lives of children with autism.

| Parents and Children Needed for Student Research |
| |
My name is Shamayne Brown and I am a doctoral student at Alliant International University. This study is examining the attention abilities of kids with ASD and their parents. I am recruiting families with a child with ASD as well as families with typically developing children.
We are looking for boys, ages 8 to 16 years old, who have a diagnosis of ASD and their biological parents - both mother and father need to participate. We are also looking for boys, ages 8 to 16 years old, who are typically developing and both of their biological parents to serve as a control group.
If you and your family are eligible for participation, you will be asked to come to a lab at the Neuroscience Institute at Alliant International University. You and your child's other parent will be asked to complete consent forms and questionnaires about your own behaviors; this should take you each about 25 minutes. You will also be given questionnaires about your child's behaviors. Only one parent needs to fill out these questionnaires and should take about 25 minutes complete. You, your child, and your child's other parent will complete a cognitive test, which will take about 30 minutes. Each of you will then play some games on a computer. This will take each person about 30 minutes. Your child's participation will take approximately one hour. Your participation and that of your child's other parent will take approximately one and a half to two hours.
After your child completes his tasks, he will receive a $20 cash gift as an appreciation for his participation. Once you and your child's other parent have completed all tasks, you will each receive a $10 gift card as a token of appreciation for your participation. For further information, please contact Shamayne Brown at
[email protected] or 619-416-1799. Thank you for your time.
