CT VALLEY VIEWS EXPLORES THE “PUZZLE” OF AUTISM

Autism is a complex developmental disability that is the
result of a neurological disorder that affects the brain's functioning. It
typically appears during the first two years of life and impacts development in
the areas of social interaction and communication skills. 

CTVV host, Susan Regan recently interviewed Donna Swanson,
Founder and Executive Director of Focus Center for Autism in Canton, CT; two of
the young people in the program, a parent of an autistic son and a Focus Center
board member to gain some insight into this often misdiagnosed condition.

There is no cure for Autism, but those affected can achieve
significant improvement through behavioral and specialized developmental
programs, targeted social skills support, speech therapy and adaptive skills
education.

The Focus Center provides a unique and clinical approach to
assisting both the attendees and their families to realize the most successful
outcomes to leading a fulfilling and productive quality of life.
