Autism Alternatives of Oakville 1138 Gable Drive Oakville, ON L6J 7P2 Telephone : 905-829-4084 E-mail : bethshier38@gmail.com Website : www.autismsolutionontario.com |
The Davis Autism Approach is a new, unique and innovative approach to correcting Autism Spectrum Disorders including Asperger's and PDD-NOS. The approach is also very useful to clients with ADD (either type). The program has 3 separate parts. First is called individuation, where we help the client to integrate their senses and begin to accurately perceive their environment. Second is the identity development portion of the program where missing information about how the world works is put into the client's existing identity allowing them to interact with their environment and the people in it in an appropriate way. Last is the social integration piece of the program which allows for full participation in life. We also have a pilot project serving non-verbal clients. Please call or email for more details. |

Are you interested in participating in a study? If you are an adult with Asperger Syndrome or Nonverbal Learning Disabilty (NLD), you are invited to participate in research investigating word knowledge and visual problem-solving in London, Ontario. Participants will be asked about their understanding of word meanings and metaphors. They will also have their brain responses to questions about metaphors recorded. Their responses will be compared to participants who do not have a diagnosis. By examining the electrical signals emitted from the brain when different types of word pairs are presented (e.g., literal, unrelated, or metaphorical), we can see if there are differences in the way that adults in these groups process word meanings. We hope to find skills that will differentiate adults with AS and NLD from each other, and from typical adults, or to rule out differences in the areas that we are investigating. Better distinguishing between features of AS and NLD will in future help earlier diagnosis, and suggest practical, adaptational strategies for adults who face barriers as a result of AS or NLD. The study involves word and visual puzzles, two questionnaires, and the electrical brain activity recording. It will take between 3 and 4 hours to complete, and can be divided into two separate sessions if necessary. It is ideal for adults who live in London, Ontario, or who visit often and have friends or family with whom they can stay. A brief summary of study results will be sent to participants who provide an email address to the researchers for this purpose. If you are interested, please contact: Margot Stothers, The University of Western Ontario London, ON Phone: 519 661-2111, x 88006 Email: mstothe2@uwo.ca |

Children can present very differently and we search to find the underlying cause. Each child is unique and their health care and plan needs to be as well. We are unable to effectively treat one area of the body without considering the whole. At Wellpath Clinic we have a thorough evaluation process and focus on individualized care. We evaluate what we need to get rid of in the body and where the body needs to support health and track and make modifications accordingly. This takes time and commitment. Our goal is an improved quality of life and our mission is recovery. http://www.wellpathclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Autism%20Wellpath%20Clinic.pdf |
