Autism Awareness: Dr. Sarita Freedman Among Experts At Transition To Independence In Autism Forum

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 08:56:37 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Autism expert to participate in upcoming conference with a focus on preparing individuals with autism and other unique challenges to successfully transition to independent living.

April is Autism Awareness month and also the month that the CDC announced an increase in the incidence of autism to 1 in 88, an announcement that occurred only months after previously reported rates of 1 in 110 in 2010. With an alarming number of individuals being diagnosed, the world faces unknown challenges and uncertainties about the future of not only those individuals being diagnosed, but society as a whole. The astronomical costs of supporting the varying lifelong needs of these individuals even today would financially challenge existing public benefit systems. Society cannot afford to ignore this issue.

Dr. Sarita Freedman, author of Developing College Skills in Students with Autism & Asperger's Syndrome, is one of 22 experts who will participate in the "Prep. Launch. Elevate: Supporting Teens & Young Adults in Their Transition to Independence" conference in Los Angeles, CA. Her book emphasizes the importance of developing specific skill sets before students get to college. These skill sets focus less on academics and more on the social and communication realms that will ultimately enable people with autism specrum disorders (ASD) to work, independently care for themselves, and become contributing members of society. Employees with ASD are dependable and highly focused, and companies that are interested in training and hiring them value the precision and focus that they bring to their positions.

Dr. Freedman is available for interviews on a number of topics related to ASD, including preparing students for college and life, working with families and couples, self-advocacy, and more.

"Prep. Launch. Elevate: Supporting Teens & Young Adults in Their Transition to Independence," is the first annual conference for parents and professionals sponsored by The HELP Group's Advance L.A. Program.

About [Sarita Freedman, PhD]Dr. Freedman is a licensed psychologist specializing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). She is the author of "Developing College Skills in Students with Autism & Asperger's Syndrome". Dr. Freedman has authored numerous articles on ASD and speaks at local and international conferences. She works with individuals of all ages, offering diagnosis, psychotherapy, family support, and work with couples where one of the people has ASD. She is the founder of College on the Spectrum, dedicated to helping individuals with ASD succeed in college and beyond.

Ronae Jull, Parenting Hope Coach, Publishes New E-Book To Help With Child Abuse Recovery

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:50:03 +0000

Ronae Jull, a parenting hope coach who helps adults who were abused as children with child abuse recovery, has published a new e-book to help parents break the cycle of abuse. Child abuse help is also available on her website.

/EINPresswire.com/SEATTLE, WA -- Ronae Jull, a parenting hope coach, announces she is increasing resources for parents who were abused as children. Each resource is designed to help with child abuse recovery and teach parents how to break the cycle of abuse instead of passing it on to their own children.

Jull has recently written an e-book titled 'A Bigger Bandaid: Hope For Parents Abused As Children.' The book will help parents learn how to implement specific steps in order to become the parent they want to be rather than modeling the parenting behavior they were subjected to. It will also show them how to reach out without being re-victimized and how parents can help children so that they don't become a victim. The e-book will be available on Amazon on April 20, 2012 and anyone interested in learning more can find information at http://ronaejull.com/resources-press/a-bigger-bandaid-e-book-hope-for-parents-abused-as-children/.

"'A Bigger Bandaid' is really a labor of love. Its stories and advice are drawn from my own personal recovery story and from more than 20 years of working with wounded men and women. These people were abused as children and wanted desperately to receive child abuse help and create a better life for their own kids. An important part of breaking the abuse cycle is healing and my book will help anyone eventually find genuine joy as they heal their hearts," said parenting hope coach Jull (http://ronaejull.com/).

On Saturday, April 21, 2012, Jull will also help raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention Month by participating in the radio show, The Dr. Carol Show. Listeners in the Houston area will be able to tune in to KKHT at 100.7 FM between 1 and 2 p.m. CST, but people across the world can listen live just by clicking the Listen button on the Dr. Carol Show website. Dr. Carol and Jull will talk about breaking the cycle of abuse and will take calls from listeners. Listeners can call 888-537-2276 or email RJ@ronaejull.com with their questions.

Jull provides parents with more than just child abuse resources. Her services include helping parents reach out to difficult children and teenagers. She understands that today's teenagers have a very different set of challenges and works with parents to create a customized solution for all types of families.

"Parenting teenagers is hard! There's no one size fits all approach to parenting teens and what works for one family might not work for another. If you're worried that your child is becoming withdrawn, that they're at risk of being bullied or if you're concerned about unhealthy eating habits and drugs, don't give up. Let me help," said Jull.

About Ronae Jull: Ronae Jull is a mom of four grown children and a grandma of three. She persisted in spite of an abusive and isolated childhood, but admits that joy wasn't instant. Her experience helped her become a parenting hope coach and she knows how to reach out to someone who is lost in the darkness. Jull has found great success in helping parents with teens who are going through a difficult time. If your family is having problems with bullying, including cyberbullying, teen sex, co-parenting issues, dysfunctional educational systems and bad attitudes, hope coaching might be able to help.

Top 40 Billboard Artist Describes Son's Journey With Sensory Processing Disorder

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:26:24 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ April is Autism Awareness Month and every autistic child suffers from some form of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). The new book, "Life Not Typical: How Special Needs Parenting Changed my Faith & my Song," chronicles the difficulties of SPD from the parent's perspective.

Top 40 Billboard recording artist Jennifer Shaw has released her first book entitled "Life Not Typical: How Special Needs Parenting Changed My Faith And My Song" (Carpenter's Son Publishing/STL Distribution). Touted as the first book of any genre to detail Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) from the parent's perspective, "Life Not Typical" describes Shaw's journey with her son Toby who suffered from SPD at an early age.

Shaw describes moments of frightening behavior from her son. "He could not touch anything or be touched by anyone other than my husband or me," says Shaw. "He would hardly eat anything and made no sounds except for crying all the time. He would scream in terror if water touched him unexpectedly. SPD is just unrelenting. It was extremely intense, and he could never stay with anyone else, so there was no respite, even at night. There was the fear of not knowing what would happen to him, not knowing if he would ever be 'okay' or if he would be able to live a normal life. You have to rethink what dreams you have from your child. We went from 'maybe he'll be a great this or that' to 'maybe he'll be able to walk on grass someday.' When you work for eight months, every day, just to get him to eat a piece of bread, it changes your definition of success for your child."

The realities of Sensory Processing Disorder are harsh. One study estimated that 1 in 20 children in the U.S. are affected by the disorder. SPD is closely aligned with autism in that every autistic child has some form of SPD. SPD is also often misdiagnosed as ADD or ADHD. Shaw includes five informative appendices in her book, including an in-depth Signs and Symptoms section on SPD as well as original interviews that Shaw conducted with a Certified Early Childhood Intervention Specialist, a Speech and Language Pathologist and an Occupational Therapist who were all instrumental in helping her own son.

"We were just hoping he would be functional," recalls Shaw. "We were told that therapeutic methods used before age three would actually be 're-wiring' his brain. After age three, the brain is not pliable enough, and the therapy shifts to coping techniques. Our friend's son is in that situation, and it is hard. It is also very common since SPD is not usually diagnosed at a young age. In hindsight, we consider it a blessing that Toby's behavior was so severe at an early age that it was obvious something was really wrong. A year after his diagnosis, when he was retested, they described his progress as miraculous, and told us repeatedly that they'd never seen anything like it. One therapist told us that given his intake profile, it 'should not have been possible.' When I share my story at concerts or women's events, I have people come up to me and tell me I am describing their child, but they have never heard of SPD. I want this book to be a quality resource for parents who are facing similar circumstances as well as give them hope that there is help available."

To coincide with the book release, Shaw has also released a new radio single entitled "Life Not Typical," co-written by Shaw and Lifeway Christian Resources' Producer of the Year, Paul Marino. A music video of the song has also been created, directed by Jeffrey Kubach whose credits include the hit television show "Survivor" as well as a Best Pop Music Video nomination from Gospel Music Channel.

About Jennifer Shaw: With degrees in both piano performance and vocal performance, Shaw completed her graduate work in opera performance at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music. A former professor of voice at Cedarville University, Shaw is now a Top 40 Billboard artist and has garnered a #3 hit song on the national Inspirational radio charts. Her CD, "Love Broke Through," also introduced the song "God Loved the World" which was used in Lifeway Christian Resources' Christmas musical last year and was recently the #1 best-selling Easter choral anthem for Lifeway. Shaw and her husband, Nathan, live with their three children in central Ohio.

Studies Confirm the Health Benefits of Having a Cat Says Igor Purlantov

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:46:47 +0000

Top 10 Health Benefits of Having a Cat According to Igor Purlantov

/EINPresswire.com/ Cats have been domesticated and living around humans for more than 10,000 years says animal rights advocate Igor Purlantov. Although cats, like dogs, have long been valued for their companionship and ability to hunt household pests, Igor Purlantov believes that many people may be surprised to know that there are numerous health benefits associated with having a cat in a household.

According to Igor Purlantov, the following health benefits have been studied and confirmed by researchers and health care professionals around the world who understand the benefits of having the most popular pet in the world, a cat, at home.

Asthma and Allergy Prevention in Children
Studies have shown that early and regular contact with cats can help children avoid developing a number of respiratory problems including asthma. There is also evidence that living with a cat can also help prevent allergies in children says Igor Purlantov.

Lower Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Heart Attack
Studies have shown that having cat can make people less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. According to Igor Purlantov one study even found that those without cats were between 30-40% more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than cat owners. Studies have also shown that people can reduce their chances of a heart attack by having a cat and there is a also reduced chance that someone will die suddenly due to a heart attack if they have a cat.

Improved Immune System
Having a cat has been shown to boost the immune system and also improve how it functions says Igor Purlantov. It is believed that cats often have a very good sense of when a person is ill and are great at providing comfort to help a person feel better.

Lower Blood Pressure
According to one study, people with cats are more likely to have lower blood pressure that those without cats. It is believed that just petting a cat and enjoying their company can help calm a person and lower their blood pressure according to Igor Purlantov.

Lower Cholesterol and Lower Triglycerides
People with cats have been shown to have lower cholesterol than those without. One study even showed that having a cat was actually more effective at lowering cholesterol than taking certain medications. Studies have also shown that having a cat can lower your triglycerides, something that is usually only achieved by exercising and eating fewer carbohydrates and processed foods.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety and Risk of Stroke
It has been repeatedly shown that having a cat can help reduce stress as well as provide many other psychological benefits says Igor Purlantov. Having a cat can also reduce anxiety as simply petting a cat has been shown to be soothing and calming. Also, caring for a cat can help someone take their mind off their own worries especially as they enjoy the unconditional love a cat provides. Having a cat can also reduce the risk of a stroke as one study found that people with cats cut their risk of stroke by one third according to Igor Purlantov.

Improved Mood and Reduced Depression
Simply interacting with a cat can improve a person's mood and help make them feel better in general. Also, having a cat can help relieve depression since being around a cat helps take someone's mind off their problems and allows them to focus on something else including the unconditional love a cat offers.

Help with Autism
There have been several studies where cats have been instrumental in therapy for autistic children says Igor Purlantov. Cats have also been shown to help children with other developmental disorders, especially cases where the child has difficulty with social interactions and communication.

Reduced Loneliness
Having a cat at home has been shown to help people that are feeling lonely, including those who are single or widowed. Having a cat provides a connection and allows for someone feeling lonely to be able to spend time with another living being.

Fewer Doctor Visits and a Longer Life
It has been shown that people with cats make fewer visits to the doctor and to hospitals in general. Studies have also shown that when nursing homes allowed cats as part of their therapy, they had lower medication costs than other facilities without cats.

These studies all confirm that there are clearly numerous health benefits associated with having a cat that can lead to a longer life says Igor Purlantov. At the end of the day, people should go out and adopt a cat from a local animal shelter, it may be the best thing that has ever happened to them and their new cat companion.

Igor Purlantov is an animal rights advocate that follows and writes about animal news and trends to help raise awareness of animal rights and protection. You can read and learn about his work on www.igorpurlantov.com or follow him on twitter @igorpurlantov

Windy City Novelties a Proud Participant On Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 07:23:38 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ Windy City Novelties provides Blue Glow Products for an upcoming episode of the popular ABC television program

Autism has touched so many lives around the world, including one special family in Medford, Oregon.

When CJ and Lindsay McPhail started the Southern Oregon Sparrow Clubs to help children with disabilities and medical problems, they never knew that they would be in need of help themselves one day.

Two of the McPhail's three children, 6-year old Sawyer and 4-year old Thatcher, have been diagnosed with autism.

The family does the best they can, but the McPhail's home is more than 50 years old and suffers from old wiring and heating problems.

Now, help has come to the McPhail's in the form of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The popular ABC program relies on the kindness of individuals and businesses alike to help families in need. Windy City Novelties is happy to be counted among the proud participants on the show.

Company spokesperson Jeff Schrimmer says that providing blue glow products, such as glow sticks, glow necklaces, and glow bracelets, for the celebration welcoming the family back to their new home, is the least the company could do.

He says that, "Blue is the color for autism, just as pink is for breast cancer. This is our way of helping to create awareness of the struggles families face when autism enters their lives. We are happy to do what we can and participate in the very positive efforts of the show."

Schrimmer adds that the glow celebration put on for the McPhail family helps to show that glow products can be enjoyed at parties all year round and not just Halloween or the 4th of July.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition airs Fridays 8/7c on ABC.

Illinois based Windy City Novelties is an online retail and wholesale party supplies company specializing in glow products, LED products, costumes, and novelties.

Breakthrough Discovery makes Serious Mental Disorders Unnecessary

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:15:53 +0000

"Babies Need Mothers"
Public Lecture. Look for upcoming article in the San Francisco Examiner. October 11, 2011 FREE lecture from 6 to 8:30 PM at the Fort Mason Conference Center

/EINPresswire.com/ San Francisco, CA - September 27, 2011 -- Autism has increased 20 fold, bipolar disorder 40 fold, school violence has become the "norm," entire classrooms are drugged with legal chemicals to control students, and young people are becoming addicts at an alarming rate. Why is this happening? Despite billions of dollars of mental health research, and all the information available today at our fingertips, no one has come up with an intelligent explanation for the relentless rise of Mental Illness in our society. No one, that is, Until now.

Dr. Clancy McKenzie, a world-renown expert on Mental Disorders, has identified an unsuspected cause of schizophrenia, depression and other serious disorders. What Dr. McKenzie has discovered is so simple that a child can understand. While enormous sums of money and years of research have been expended searching for a biological cause, Dr. McKenzie has reason to believe that they were exploring biological results of the disease process and never addressing cause! Dr. McKenzie brings convincing data that reveals, in simple terms, a cause that is hard to dispute. According to Dr McKenzie "by identifying and understanding this cause, schizophrenia and depression can be prevented."

Although it is often easy to point a finger of blame at parents, Dr. McKenzie identifies what really happens, and how to prevent serious disorders at three levels: 1. Prevention during infancy, 2. Prevention of a first breakdown during adolescence, and 3. Prevention of a recurrence among those who already developed a disorder - allowing persons to lead healthy fulfilling lives without years of therapy and pharmaceutical interventions. Turns out the parents are not to blame.Dr. McKenzie will be in the San Francisco area October 11, and will be offering a free lecture from 6 to 8:30 PM at the Fort Mason Conference Center . He will discuss origin, mechanism, treatment and prevention of most serious disorders and will answer questions from the audience. Please alert friends and other professionals about this important conference.

Register now on www.BabiesNeedMothers.com. The lecture is free, but the seating is limited and will be available on a first come basis. Books, CD's and DVD's by Dr. McKenzie will be available for purchase. The first 20 registrants will also receive a $5.00 credit towards the purchase of any of Dr. McKenzie's self-help materials.

Mane Center Notes Autism Rates - 1 in 38 - Much Higher than Previously Thought!

Tue, 24 May 2011 22:36:20 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ The Mane Center and autism treatment authority, Dr. Nelson Mañé, offers information about autism spectrum treatment. Promotion of awareness of the condition its treatment are specialties of his.

Tampa own, Dr. Nelson Mane who treats children on the autism spectrum cautions!
"This study suggests a rate more than double what prior studies have revealed, and yet, there is always the question as to whether this number represents better diagnosis, or an actual statistical increase."

According to "The American Journal of Psychiatry" a published study undertaken by the
Yale Child Study Center, George Washington University and various institutions in Korea, found that 2.6% of the children were considered to be on the autism spectrum. The study was comprised of 7 to 12 year old students. Current U.S. estimates fall around 1% or 1 in 100 children.

"Here is the good news", says Dr. Mane, "this was a large endeavor and will most likely spark further study into Autism, its incidence, treatment and causes. With Autism affecting roughly 2 ½% of society's children, I am continuously confounded at the lack of awareness. I am equally hopeful that this will eventually lead to better resources available for families with children suffering from this disorder."

Dr. Nelson Mañé is board certified in chiropractic orthopedics and neurology and a Tampa autism doctor. He has subspecialty training in childhood neurobehavioral disorders, ADHD, electro diagnostics, vestibular disorders (balance problems) as well as training in functional medicine. He is one of the most experienced doctors using high power laser therapy. He is a DAN! Doctor (Defeat Autism Now). He has been featured on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, BAY News 9 as well as the autism documentary "Walking in the Dark; Finding the Light in Autism. Using hemispheric Integration therapy Dr. Mane focuses on autism treatment in all its forms.

New Biomedical Treatment for Autism Website Shares Video Interviews of Parents & Professionals

Wed, 22 Dec 2010 11:32:57 +0000

Biomedical Treatment for Autism is a new website that shares video interviews of parents, researchers and medical professionals talking about alternative medical interventions that reverse the symptoms of Autism.

Tens of thousands of parents who have used biomedical treatment for Autism have had great success in partially, or even fully, reversing the symptoms of Autism in their child. More and more medical doctors are learning about the DAN! Protocol (Defeat Autism Now! Protocol) which seeks to identify the exact biological problems that an Autistic child is suffering from, and then treat those problems accordingly. When underlying problems such as intestinal issues or heavy metal toxicity issues are properly identified and treated, the symptoms of Autism will begin to reverse in the child. Keeping in mind that every child is different, children who have received biomedical treatment have experienced partial or even complete reversal of Autism.

Larry Cook, a natural health advocate and author of "The Beginner's Guide to Natural Living," launched Biomedical Treatment for Autism (http://www.autismisreversible.info) as a place to showcase his video interviews with parents, researchers and doctors. Says Mr. Cook, "My website shares information and videos about the biomedical treatment of Autism, including detoxification, the gluten free casein free diet, chelation therapy, Methyl B12 injections, Glutathione supplementation, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, sensory integration, mercury toxicity, fixing digestion issues, vaccines and much more. If you've ever wondered whether or not biomedical treatment actually works, wonder no more. Just watch what parents, researchers and doctors have witnessed and therefore have to say about how biomedical treatment has helped to reverse the symptoms of Autism in the children who have been treated!"

The website also offers users an opportunity to subscribe so that they can be notified through email every time a new video is posted. More videos are due to be posted very soon as Mr. Cook continues to produce video interviews with parents, researchers and doctors.
