http://tinyurl.com/yq9pz9

       Fredericton (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Canadian leaders in
autism research and autism technology, Dr. Jeanette Holden, PhD, FCCMG and
Cynthia Howroyd, M.Sc, SLP, will be making exciting new announcements about
the use of technology in providing treatment to children with autism on
Statewide Morning with Tim Cox.
      In a study begun in July 2006 at Queen's University in Canada, Dr.
Holden selected 50 families of children with autism to participate in a
research study using an online autism treatment platform called AutismPro.
      The program allows families to obtain treatment recommendations
through the program's interactive artificial intelligence.
      "AutismPro pulls together information about autism, helps parents
evaluate various options, and combines best-practice and evidence-based
procedures into one program," said Dr. Holden, Program Director of the
Autism Spectrum Disorders - Canadian-American Research Consortium
(ASD-CARC), an international consortium ofautism researchers .
      "It is my sincere belief that using technologically-based approaches
is essential in order to provide the needed amount of therapy to the
hundreds of thousands of children world-wide who have minimal or no
services."
      Dr. Holden will discuss her current research findings for the first
time ever on the March 14 Statewide Morning with Tim Cox show at 10:30 AM in
a interview with both her and Cynthia Howroyd, President and CEO of Virtual
Expert Clinics, the creators of AutismPro.
      Ms. Howroyd, who was one of the first speech language pathologists to
set up intensive early intervention programs for children with autism in the
rural Canadian province of New Brunswick, said, "Besides being a practical
tool for helping professionals and parents of children with autism,
AutismPro is a powerful tool for researchers to collect data on intervention
choices and related outcomes for different children."
      Dr. Holden and Ms. Howroyd will be giving a series of workshops and
presentations in Melbourne, Hobart and Launceston beginning March 13.
      A schedule and registration form is available online at autismpro.com.
      Dr Jeanette Holden, PhD, FCCMG is internationally recognized for her
research on autism and intellectual disabilities.
      She is Program Director of the Autism Spectrum Disorders -
Canadian-American Research Consortium (ASD-CARC), a group of more than 60
researchers, clinicians, and parents carrying out research to understand the
Autism Spectrum.
      She is also Program Director of the Autism Spectrum Disorders
Strategic Training in Health Research (STIHR) Program at Queens University.

      Her research is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health
Research, the Ontario Mental Health Foundation, the Canada Foundation for
Innovation, Autism Speaks, and the US March of Dimes.

I signed up for Cynthia's Autismpro Virtual Expert program. I am really excited about this.
Hey, seeing that Sharlet and Sam are cousins, can you send me the info for
the genetic and Facial imaging studies. Wish I had'nt been so overwhelmed
by all this new info to register and had gone to the seminar too, hope you
took lot's of notes!I think I will be helping carry out the Facial imaging (using an $85 000 camera)
I talked to Jeanette about our family and she is extremely interested in studying our whole family. If you do take part it may mean that Rhiannon will have to get blood taken though. The study will be looking at tiny individual components of each gene in much more detail than conventional chromosome screening tests. Email me
