www.childnett.tv/
This website offers free video broadcasts and occasional live
broadcasts on autism, Asperger's syndrome and related disorders.
The Background
Childnett.tv is funded by the nonprofit Dan Marino Foundation,
which subsidizes several special-needs programs for children. The
former Miami Dolphins quarterback's son Mike was diagnosed with
autism as a toddler.
What's Good
Childnett.tv shows run smoothly, and the lectures are high-caliber.
Even on dial-up you can listen to the shows (although the kind of
connection probably won't be fast enough for you to watch the
videos. Speakers include neurologists, psychologists, special ed
teachers and individuals with autism.
What's Missing
I found myself getting fidgety, trying to watch streaming video on
my computer for an hour at a time. It'd be nice if the videos
had counters on them, so you could, watch half today and pick
up at the same point tomorrow.
The rest of the material on the site ranges from info on diagnosis
and therapies to a student rock opera about autism, research
updates and a guide for teachers of students with autism spectrum
disorders.
Take a look sometime! It's pretty cool!
