FW: Update on study on the use of Integrated Playgroups as Autism social threapy

[Guest guest]

As the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta Georgia places autism

incidence in the United States at 1%, anecdotal evidence places the

number much higher. As the general population begins to come to grips

with the alarming growth in autism prevalence, different strategies

are being tested to educate the public on how to work with children

with autism and also how to help these children develop.

A year ago, Pamela Wolfberg of San Francisco State University was on

the Autism Briefing Room and shared with us the news that Autism

Speaks had awarded her the 2008 Research Award for Clinical Research

for a project using Wolfberg’s Integrated Play Groups™ (IPG) model.

That research started first at Fairmont School, San Francisco and

later at Grattan School, San Francisco, and is now in its second

semester. Pamela connected up with me via Skype video to update me on

the exciting progress of the program at Grattan School and around the

world.
