Rethinkautism

Using technology to deliver research-based clinical best practice treatment programs, Rethink Autism has created a unique online service providing parents, caregivers, schools and organizations (including early intervention providers, social service agencies, managed care organizations, etc.) with training for implementing treatment, tools for evaluating an individual child's needs, a comprehensive video-based curriculum with over 1,200 teaching steps, data tracking systems for measuring a child's progress and automating case management, and an online professional support system. It is geared towards children with autism from point of diagnosis through early adolescence, covers a broad range of skills (e.g., academics, language, social, motor, daily living, behavior management), and spans the entire autism spectrum. The recently-launched Rethink Autism Training Center provides training tools for organizational staff and our comprehensive curriculum allows the professional to prepare their own programs for individual clients. Our Company plans to offer its services in Spanish next year. In addition, leaders in the field of autism treatment, education and research serve on our Scientific Advisory Board, including Dr. Fred Volkmar, Director of the Yale University Child Study Center and Dr. Louis Vismara, Co-Founder of the M.I.N.D. Institute.

Since the official launch of our website - www.rethinkautism.com – this past summer, we have school districts around the country, as well as individual families nation- and world-wide, using our program. We recently received approval from the States of Montana and Wisconsin to have our program covered under their Medicaid programs. We are also in discussions with three large managed care organizations for coverage of our program as part of their autism services as well as the Dept. of Defense for delivery of treatment tools to military families, and have partnered with organizations such as Autism Speaks to make important content available to families that need it most. I welcome the opportunity to tell you more about our program and encourage you to view a news story on our Company that aired on ABC World News.
