February 24, 2007 - Autism Child Care Connection will be hosting a Seminar on Nutritional and Biomedical Interventions for Children with Autism, Saturday March 31, 2007 from 1 PM - 4 PM.
Dr. Paul Law Director of Medical Informatics at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics will be giving the keynote address.
Dr. Law is the principal investigator overseeing the development of a national online autism database that will serve as a shared resource to centralize registration of families and individuals with autism spectrum disorders and connect them with researchers, parents and other individuals with autism throughout the country and the world.
In addition to supporting scientific investigation, it will provide individuals and families affected by autism with unprecedented information about the experiences of others and serve as an open resource for educators and policy makers. A longitudinal database will enable families and individuals to participate in an online study aimed at understanding the patterns of treatment use and responses to those treatments.
The seminar will spotlight current research on autism while also giving families and care givers several skills to effectively manage symptomatic behaviors using dietary and biomedical intervention. Also attendees will have access to a nutritionist and parents who are currently implementing these interventions with their children. Resources and healthy refreshments will be available throughout the day. Limited child care is available for those who need it. The cost is $10 per family. This seminar is open to anyone with an interest in children, nutrition, and the community.
