Visual Senses and Autism-
This show focuses on
the vision differences and how vision as a sense can
have a significant impact on a child's development,
behaviors and daily experiences.
Vision is typically our first experience with the
information we take into our brains about what
is going on in the world around us. When visual
differences or delays occur such as in a child with
an autism related disorder, this can directly effect
behavior and the child's development. Dr. Ciummei
offers his expertise and in-depth explanations about the
importance of a qualitative, comprehensive eye
examination early in a child's life, while explaining
how some of these differences occur and present
themselves.
Guests include Dr. John Ciummei, Wynwood Eye Clinic, Winfield,
PA.

Mark Lawrence - a partner in creating autism awareness. |
WKOK's Mark Lawrence has been kind in extending to me the
opportunity to hold a series on Autism. This series began
with 'What is Autism?' The series just continued
from there as topics in Autism continue to be an area of
interest for many people living in the listening area, as well
as across the nation.
Mark hosted a previous
Round Table discussion four years ago on autism, organized by
Stacey Piecuch, (a parent and active force in our area) making
Mark the first local Radio Executive to take an interest in
Autism issues.
I ask that those of us who are grateful for people like Mark, to
send him a few words of thanks in the form of an e-mail to let
him know just how important this educational and informative
series is to parents and caregivers of individuals with autism.
