Autism Web Seminar

Recently, members of the Therapy Department of Rose-Mary Center conducted a web seminar, sponsored by Catholic Charities, USA, Washington, D.C. The presentation's focus was teaching children with autism and was attended by representatives from the field of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities community throughout the country.

Autism is a spectrum disorder, with children and adults presenting with a side range of abilities and areas of need.  According the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, "The essential features of Autistic Disorder are the presence of markedly abnormal or impaired development in social interaction and communication and a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest.  Manifestations of the disorder vary greatly depending upon the developmental level and chronological age of the individual."
