They are also developing an on-line national autism registry called the Interactive Autism Network that will allow individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorders to register and participate in multiple activities including research studies, message boards and on-line chats.

Learn more about the Interactive Autism Network with Dr. Paul Law, Director of Medical Informatics at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. 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. http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/law.mp3 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:13:26 -0400 No 10:50 Autism, Research, Funding, Updates, Spectrum, Disorders, Kennedy, Krieger, Institute, Informatics Interactive, Network http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FocusOnAutism/~3/fGNXVISNBQ4/law.mp3http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/law.mp3http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/law.mp3 An update on current autism research with Dr. Rebecca Landa, Director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?a=GeHA55JlmpE:ubD1rtO_foQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?a=GeHA55JlmpE:ubD1rtO_foQ:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?a=GeHA55JlmpE:ubD1rtO_foQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/FocusOnAutism?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FocusOnAutism/~4/GeHA55JlmpE" height="1" width="1"/> Kennedy Krieger Institute An update on current autism research with Dr. Rebecca Landa, Director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. An update on current autism research with Dr. Rebecca Landa, Director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Dr. Landa directs the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) at Kennedy Krieger Institute, which offers a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to serving children with autism spectrum disorders and their families. The Center combines educational, clinical, diagnostic, outpatient and outreach programs to create treatment that is tailored to the particular needs of individual children and their families. In her research, Dr. Landa works with professionals from other disciplines and uses a variety of approaches to explore the causes, indicators, and treatment of autism. One of her studies is the first to follow infants at risk for autism through their first year of life and beyond. In collaboration with neurologists, developmental pediatricians, epidemiologists, developmental psychologists, and speech-language pathologists, Dr. Landa will examine neurobiological and developmental patterns in these children. These findings will improve the early detection and instructional techniques used to help very young children. http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/landa.mp3 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 12:13:26 -0400 No 13:35 Autism, Research, Funding, Updates, Spectrum, Disorders, Kennedy, Krieger, Institute http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FocusOnAutism/~3/GeHA55JlmpE/landa.mp3http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/landa.mp3http://www.healthnewscasts.com/media/kki/landa.mp3
