Shameless Plug: University studying Multisensory Therapy needs more participants

[Guest guest]

6 months ago, professor Leon, UCI, completed a 1-year pilot study of a

breakthrough treatment for Autism.

This treatment is Multisensory Therapy, or as we used to call it, MAPS

(Monitored Multicortical Activities for Additional Pathways and Synapses)

He presented his very promising findings to the Neuroscience Society in November

last year.

Professor Leon quickly built on the success of that study and thereafter went to

work to obtain funding for a bigger and longer study. The plan is to qualify

Multisensory Therapy as a mainstream treatment option for Autism. The plan is to

make this a reimbursable treatment.

He got the funding for the first year of this extended study.

He is now recruiting families, in partnership with OC Kinds Neurodevelopmental

Center.

He needs more families to participate.

If you live close enough to UCI to participate, and want to participate, then

use the number provided below to enrol.

If you live too far from UCI to participate, then why not use the letter below

to try and get a similar study started in your area?

Below is the official letter from UCI.

SENSORY STIMULATION FOR AUTISM

The University of California Irvine, in collaboration with For OC Kids

Neurodevelopmental Center, is seeking volunteers to participate in the study of

a potential effective treatment for autism using mild forms of sensory

stimulation.

Eligible subjects must be between 3-6 years of age and have a diagnosis of

autism. Benefits may include improvement in the symptoms of autism. The study

will require four visits to UC Irvine over the course of 6 months for behavioral

and cognitive testing with visit length ranging from 1 to 2 hours. The testing

of your child and investigational treatment will be given at no cost to you or

your insurance company. This study will include approximately 90 subjects, and

the investigational treatment will involve several minutes of your time, a few

times a day for six months. You will receive $100 as compensation at the

completion of the study.

Please note that your decision to be in any study is totally voluntary. Any

care that you receive at UC Irvine will not be altered by your decision to

participate or not participate.

Please contact Leon, Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior at UC Irvine

at for more information.

Now, here is the shameless plug, because it involves money:

The program that prof. Leon is using is the same set of worksheets that we call

the " Autism One " program, which we have been selling.

So, if you cannot participate in the study and thereby get paid to do the

Multisensory Therapy 6-month treatment program, we are giving you a 50% discount

on the purchase of your own program to do in your home.

All you have to do is enrol before Aug. 15th. You don't have to start right

away, you just have to sign up before Aug. 15th to get the 50% discount. But you

know, the cost of the basic membership is only $522, so, for a program that got

a 67% success rate, perhaps you don't have to worry so much about cost.

If, at the end of the 6 months, you end up in the 33% for whom this program did

not work, there is a full money-back guarantee.

i know that talking about guarantees and discounts when talking about autism and

treatment is taboo. I just think that if I sell something I must be prepared to

put my money where my mouth is, and if it doesn't work for you, then you should

get something for my failing to deliver on my promise. Don't you?

I hope this helps you.
