Looking After Children With Autism
Parenting a special child is one of the most challenging and demanding tasks for a family to manage. Children with autism appear like any other children and yet have certain limitations that need special attention and looking after. Whereas doctors, therapists and special educator play a major role in assisting the child overcome their limitations, the final onus of integrating these children into main stream life is obviously with the parents. We at Neurogen believe that well informed and empowered parents can make a big difference to the lives of children with autism. Since parents sometimes find it difficult to understand medical and technical terms, we decided to bring out this handbook which has been written in a very simplified manner for any parent to understand. Understanding exactly what the medical problems are with their children as well as understanding how different therapies and treatments work, gives parents the ability to identify and implement treatment programs that are best suited to their child. The last few years has seen a major explosion both in research in autism as well as the availability of newer and advanced technologies that can be used as treatment. In this book we have explained many of these new technologies as well so that parents can make an informed choice about what is best for their child. At Neurogen we have seen some dramatic improvements in the majority of our children with autism using a combination of paediatric neurorehabilitation therapies (Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Applied Behaviour Analysis, Art Based Therapy, and Special Education) combined with state-of-the art medical technology (Stem Cell Therapy). We understand that making a choice as to whether one should opt for using advanced medical technologies can be a difficult one for parents and we hope that the information in this handbook helps them to make appropriate informed choices.

Understanding Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Teachers and Educators to Address the Needs of the Student
The purpose of this guide is to help educators (teachers and administrators) become acquainted with identifying and meeting the needs of the student with Asperger's Syndrome. Public school, while often difficult for typical students, can be a nightmare for those students with Asperger's Syndrome. Without information and training in this disability, teachers face confusion and frustration in light of the unusual behaviors and lack of social skills. Without training, students with Asperger's Syndrome are misidentified and often blamed for behaviors that are a direct result of their disability. It is hoped that this guide will lead teachers to a better understanding of Asperger's Syndrome and help the students with AS have a richer, more enjoyable educational experience.
