Autism In North Dakota

News Flash

For those families in North Dakota with Autistic children, Senator Dorgen has just approved funding for a new program which will provide families with children with Autism with hi-speed internet access and a digital camera which will enable them to communicate with the Anne Carleson Clinic in Jamestown and other specialised doctors for free.

This will enable specialised clinicians to come into your home via webcam and help you to set up treatment plans for your children with Autism.

It will give you access to care that you may not have been able to access before and lower the stress on you and your child given the extreme distances that we have to travel to visit clinicians.

Only seven families have signed up so far. If the program takes off like it should, then Senator Dorgen promises increased funding for next year.

It is definitely worth a try. If you know anyone that this could apply to, please bring it to their attention. More info can be obtained by looking at the ND news section of the Bismarck Tribune or call your case manager, they should be able to help you to apply for this program.

Any assistance in helping our children recover from Autism is appreciated and FREE help is rare so please, take the opportunity to check this out.
Later.
