Editorial Reviews

Library Journal/April 15, 2004

" ... forceful and persuasive video ... Recommended for parents as well as public and academic libraries." M. Nofsinger, Washington State Univ.Library

Product Description

This Video is designed for parents of a child just diagnosed with autism who want a no nonsense, step-by-step roadmap for medically necessary autism treatment. This is the "how to" video to set up science-based treatment, presented in a clear and straightforward way.

Parents Who Benefit have a child diagnosed with autism - or a related pervasive developmental disorder - and are looking for 'best practice' treatment for their child, as recommended by mental health professionals, the New York State Department of Health and the U.S. Surgeon General's report on mental health.

Practical and Concise Information on autism treatment is in short supply but essential for parents to know how to set up a science-based treatment program for their child. Dr. Freeman strongly supports the view that the earlier a child begins therapy, the better the outcome -- there's no time to waste! The goal of this video is to help parents who may not otherwise receive important autism treatment information from health professionals or other well-informed parents who have already traveled down this long and often confusing road.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended viewing, September 11, 2003

This review is from: Autism: Now What Do I Do? [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After watching this video, I would consider it essential viewing not only for parents of newly diagnosed children with autism, but also for parents who have lost their way in the minefield of unproven therapies and quack cures that abound for this devastating condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE !!, November 7, 2003

This review is from: Autism: Now What Do I Do? [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great video with tons of information. It gives a new parent practical advice along with much hope. It starts out with the basics of how to get a diagnosis - what do next - how to find a consultant and therapists. It gives lots of suggestions for what to look for in a good ABA program - books and videos to watch. I wish this was available five years ago when we got our diagnosis. It is a wonderful tape for all parents of children with autism to have in their library. Well worth the price.

This review is from: Autism: Now What Do I do? (DVD)

there are MUCH more up-to-date DVD's on autism now.... this one was a waste of money.... i don't recommend it at all. i bought pretty much every DVD i could find when my daughter was diagnosed, and all of them were VERY helpful, except this one. it's just not a practical approach.
