CT VALLEY VIEWS EXPLORES THE “PUZZLE” OF AUTISM

Autism is a complex developmental disability that is the result of a
neurological disorder that affects the brain's functioning. It typically
appears
during the first two years of life and impacts development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills.

CTVV
host, Susan Regan recently interviewed Donna Swanson, Founder and
Executive Director of Focus Center for Autism in Canton, CT;
two of
the young people in the program, a parent of an autistic son and a Focus
Center board member to gain some insight into this often
misdiagnosed condition.

There
is no cure for Autism, but those affected can achieve significant
improvement through behavioral and specialized developmental
programs, targeted social skills support, speech therapy and adaptive skills education.

The
Focus Center provides a unique and clinical approach to assisting both
the attendees and their families to realize the most successful outcomes
to leading a fulfilling and productive quality of life.
