I heard through several meetings and workshops that I have attended that there was some "new law" to help children with autism. I was most eager to watch this video to find out what was going on and how I could help my child. This video was very clear and explained the law, the research being done to find better treatments and a cure for autism. I highly recommend this tape to all parents of children with autism. The first step to helping our children is to become informed. This video is a great start to educate parents so we can help find a cure and better treatments for autism. Viewers learn about all the new resources that will be offered to families. For instance, the video discusses the centers for excellence that will be established through out the country for families to go to for help and resources. Once you see the video and know what the future could be for our children, you will feel very inspired and eager to get involved! Also..Anthony Edwards is great as the host.

Although there was a lot of good information in this video, I noticed that most of the research it discusses is based in genetics, and I was disappointed that environmental causes aren't being addressed. I was concerned that no other possible causes for the current epidemic were addressed. Many of us believe that there must be an environmental basis for the increase in autism because humans don't genetically evolve this quickly. I didn't see much addressed about physical health in autism either, which is a big concern for many as well.
If you have a new diagnosis, I would recommend it because it has some good information for beginners.

As a professional educator who has worked with children with Autism and their families, I believe, this video offers parents, educators, and health care professional a clear explanation of Autism and other similar disorders. It is full of valuable information presented in a useful format, simplifying and summarizing the Children's Health Act of 2000 as it relates to Autism. It will be especially helpful to parents and can serve as a guide to them as they seek to become more knowledgeable and therefore become better able to meet their child's needs.

I heard through several meetings and workshops that I have attended that there was some "new law" to help children with autism. I was most eager to watch this video to find out what was going on and how I could help my child. This video was very clear and explained all of the components of the law and how this will effect the research being done to find better treatments and a cure for autism.

..Hats off to Ms. Hanlon for finally shedding light on our options and rights as parents of autistic children. Please continue to keep us informed as new information comes in. Many Thanks to you.

This video gives tremendous hope to parents who have children with autism. As a physician, I learned so much about the progress we will make in finding better treatments and even a cure for autism. I highly recommend this videos for parents, educators and pediatricians. Should be made available in every public library.

This video gave me hope that someday there will be a cure for autism. It's important that all parents, educators and concerned friends of children with autism or PDD view this video. The information you obtain in the video is critical in undestanding autism and the law designed to find a cure. The video motivated me to get involoved and support organizations that are trying to make a difference.

This video has been of great use to my family.The laws that we are subject to can be difficult to interpret,and they change all the time!"Autism and the New Law" is very helpful in explaining these law's (in a language we can ALL understand).

Great video!! A wonderful resource for grandparents and parents!!!

This video is great! I am so happy I gave to my grand-daughter, the mother of an autistic child. The video helped all of us!
