Fwd: Autism Community Loses a Great Visionary and Leader in the Field

[Guest guest]

Dear CARD Families:

The International Council on

Developmental and Learning Disorders has reported that its co-founder, Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan,

passed away on April 27, 2010. Dr. Greenspan was the Founder and Chairman of

the Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders (ICDL),

founding member and past board president of Zero To Three: National Center for

Infants, Toddlers, and Families and former director of the National Institute

of Mental Health’s Clinical Infant Developmental Program and Mental

Health Study Center. As the world's foremost authority on clinical work with

infants and young children with developmental and emotional problems, his work

continues to guide parents, professionals and researchers all over the world.

Locally, we are fortunate to have several excellent providers and a school

based on the principles and practices supported by Dr. Greenspan. For

more information, please contact CasaBlanca Academy in Hollywood. http://www.casablancaacademy.org/

Sincerely,

Dr. Alessandri
