Research
Having a child diagnosed with autism is a devastating and life changing
event for parents. It immediately places them in an informational and
emotional “No-man’s land” bounded on all sides by daunting
challenges. They understand implicitly that time is of the essence. Early
intervention is key to their child’s development. Their immediate
dilemma is determining what interventions to consider. Some are soundly
based on research; others, sometimes making claims akin to “miracle
cures,” are not. One way or the other, all roads lead to research
in some form. What do we know? What can we trust for our child? How do
I learn more?
This Web site and this section in particular aim to help answer
those questions by introducing you to the domain of autism research
and providing some tools for understanding, evaluating and applying research
findings to your child’s autism. |
