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."
