A Look at Autism

Children and Autism: Time is Brain is a sensitive and engaging portrait of two families faced with the daunting challenge of raising an autistic child. The program focuses on the importance of early detection, intervention, and the use of Applied Behavioral Analysis as a means of obtaining the best outcome for children with autism.
Autism and the Sibling Relationship examines the factors that influence the quality of the sibling relationship — which is often considered the longest and most complicated relationship in the family.
