Autism affects the development of a child's social and communication skills and requires immediate and highly customized treatment. The increasingly high demand for special needs therapists, and fewer than 150 autism experts worldwide, has created a critical shortage of adequately trained professionals. With costs for private services reaching nearly $100,000 per year, many parents risk financial stability to access different therapies for their children. As a result, families raising children with autism continually struggle with soaring costs, long waiting lists, confusing treatment options and limited access to therapists. Now, there's new hope for families. Autismpro is the first subscription-based online program that empowers parents with immediate access to comprehensive treatment approaches from the world's leading autism experts. With Autismpro, parents take control -- designing, delivering, and adjusting their child's intervention program, right from their home computer. << SOUNDBITES: ----------- - Cathy Pratt, Ph.D., Chair of Board, Autism Society of America Director of the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, Indiana University - Paula Aquilla, Occupational Therapist - Carrie Proudfoot, Parent of twin daughters with autism - Paola Migliozzi, Parent of sons with autism - Doug and Sue Shaw, Parents of three children on the autism spectrum B-ROLL INCLUDES: ---------------- (*)(*)(*)Autism experts(*)(*)AutismPro.com(*)(*)Parents of children with autism(*)(*)Children with autism(*)(*)(*) Script ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEO AUDIO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footage of Paola Magliozzi EVERY 21 MINUTES A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED in her living room playing with WITH AUTISM, THE FASTEST GROWING the puzzle giving her kids the DISABILITY IN THE U.S. AND CANADA. high five AUTISM REQUIRES HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT, WHICH CAN COST FAMILIES UP TO $100,000 A YEAR.
