The subject of recent posts has mainly been on Autism-related events and organisations in the American state of Ohio. To the north, the _Windsor Essex Chapter_ of _Autism Ontario_ in Canada is run by a group of volunteers called the Chapter Leadership Council who meet once a month to organize fundraisers, social activities and make important decisions for the chapter. It is a registered charity that does not receive funding from the government… > [@](#): > > On April 2, World Autism Day, Melanie Mastronardi presented a check for $5,641 to Autism Ontario – Windsor Essex Chapter. > > Mastronardi employees recently came together to raise funds for the charity, which supports local educational programs, therapy and families living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. > > “We are very proud to support such a worthwhile cause,” said Melanie Mastronardi. “Autism affects …families in our community, and we feel it is so important to bring awareness to this amazing program.” > > “Our local program relies on the support and generosity of companies like Mastronardi Produce,” shared Livia Congi, Chapter and Program Manager for Autism Ontario Windsor Essex. “We’re so grateful for our continued partnership.” > > The company will also be supporting the local Autism Awareness Walk/Run, which will be taking place Sunday, April 10th …in Leamington… Here is a link to a video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGo-7Qs8yB8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGo-7Qs8yB8) (source: [https://www.sunsetgrown.com/news/mastronardi-supports-autism-awareness/](https://www.sunsetgrown.com/news/mastronardi-supports-autism-awareness/)) ---

The subject of recent posts has mainly been on Autism-related events and organisations in Ohio. To the south, _Educational Services of America_ (_ESA_) is a company with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee that looks to early intervention to address Autism Spectrum Disorders. The company currently provides services in 27 states… > [@](#): > > …While there is still no cure for [Autism Spectrum Disorders], research has shown early intervention can have a significant impact on a child’s development and ability to more fully interact with peers at school. It’s at this intersection of education and healthcare where Educational Services of America (ESA) offers resources to help these children thrive. > > …“We serve about 17,000 kids a day, and they have a very wide variety of disabilities,” explained ESA President and CEO Mark Claypool, who founded the company in 1999. “We work primarily with public school systems,” he said, noting the company partners with about 250 different systems. He added ESA also works directly with some state governments and insurance carriers. > > “We had been working with older kids through school systems for a long time, but we wanted to identify a strong provider in the early intervention space,” Claypool explained. “Autism is a very dynamic disability, and the sooner you can intervene, the greater the impact on the child’s life.” > > With EAP, he noted, “We acquired this really strong regional brand and put tremendous resources behind them.” Today, EAP reaches four times the number of children and continues to expand with additional clinics coming online at a rapid pace. Currently, there are clinics and/or in-home services being provided in 11 states including Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee in the Southeast. > > “We’re growing very rapidly,” Claypool said. “In fact, we’re in the process of opening 15 new autism clinics in the next year.” > > …At the heart of the program is the use of Applied Behavioral Analysis …“We know the evidence supports ABA as the most effective treatment, by far,” said Claypool. “It enhances positive behaviors and diminishes negative behaviors.” > > According to the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, the effectiveness of this evidence-based therapy has been well documented over the past 40 years. [Applied Behaviour Analysis] utilizes the principles of learning theory to craft interventions designed to measurably improve ‘socially significant behaviours,’ which include reading, academics, social skills, communication, and adaptive living skills including self-care, toileting, understanding time and money, and honing work skills. > > “The same model of behavioral therapy is applied to all of our children across the board but will vary in its intensity,” Claypool explained of addressing individual needs depending on where a child falls on the spectrum. > > Finding a way to help these children is critical considering the number of children diagnosed with [Autism Spectrum Disorders]. “If we don’t do this, the cost will be staggering. These young people will not be able to transition to adulthood and lead normal adult lives,” Claypool pointed out. > > With [Applied Behaviour Analysis] therapy, however, he said the team has seen some remarkable outcomes. “There is no one type of child with autism. There are IQs all over the board, but many do have high IQs and need to have their potential unlocked,” he continued. > > That was certainly true for one South Carolina mom. Told it would be best to find her son a residential program because he would never function on his own, she took matters into her own hands and became the co-founder of the Early Autism Project. Today, that son is working on his master’s degree at the University of South Carolina and speaks eight languages. > > While certainly not every child with autism will perform at that level, Claypool said all children deserve the chance to reach their own potential. > > …Realizing that ability, however, can be more difficult in some states than in others. > > Claypool explained Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires public school systems to identify preschool children with special needs. However, he added, “It’s very, very loose how to do that. Frankly, it’s not followed through on very often. That issue really drove parents who had children with autism to find another way to have their children identified, diagnosed and treated.” > > Of importance, he continued, is the understanding that special education, as it is constructed, is built on civil rights law. “That’s important because it was built on a minimum set of services defined as ‘free and appropriate.’” > > “But that’s not enough for parents,” Claypool said. “They want progress, and they want to know their child is going to get the very best treatments.” Therefore, he continued, “More and more, they are looking to healthcare rather than education systems to bridge the gap.” > > According to the Autism Health Insurance Project, 39 states plus the District of Columbia have now enacted autism insurance mandates, meaning all fully funded, state-regulated insurance plans must provide the benefits specified by law. While the specifics vary from state-to-state, each of the mandates requires insurers to provide [Applied Behaviour Analysis] to young children with autism. Self-funded (employer-sponsored) plans, however, are not legally required to offer autism benefits even in states that have mandates. > > As of May 2015, Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wyoming had no autism insurance mandate. Ohio, Hawaii, Mississippi and North Carolina were in process of enacting a mandate, and Utah had passed legislation, but it won’t go into effect until 2016. Additionally, the federal government has recently told all states their Medicaid programs must offer ABA therapy for children under 21, but only a handful of states have put this directive into action at this point.

The subject of recent posts has mainly been on Autism-related events and organisations in the state of Ohio. The _Mikeyfied Fund for Adult Autism_ is a Warren, Ohio-based nonprofit that is setting out to create care and better quality of life for adult autistic individuals who do not become mainstreamed. Through the tool of its children’s books (most about autism), it plans to accomplish this goal… > [@](#): > > “Madelena jumped out of bed and ran downstairs,” read Mauro DiVieste. > And so begins the story of a little girl named Madelena and her big brother, Mikey. > “It’s a fictional story based on our true life events,” said DiVieste. My daughter Madelena is going to show and tell, and she tells her class about what it’s like to live with an autistic brother." > That character is based on a nine-year-old named Mikey. He has autism and he’s non-verbal. > Mikey’s parents, Mauro and Beverly DiVieste, wrote and illustrated the book, The Art of Autism; Being Mikeyfied, about their son. It’s the first in a series of books the couple plans to write. > “We wanted to write children’s books for our new cause,” said DiVieste. “We’re going to start a non-profit to benefit care for adult autism.” > Ultimately, the DiViestes hope money from their non-profit will be used to provide housing and skilled care for adults with autism who can’t care for themselves. > “There comes a point where for reality’s sake we have to think about their adulthood and what’s going to happen to them,” said DiVieste. “My son and a lot of kids like him are going to need to be taken care of. We will do it for as long as we can of course, being his parents that’s not a problem.

She said even if you can just get them to raise their hands above their heads, you don’t understand how much that’s going to change.” > Tschantz said she and her partner choreographed the warm-ups and dances based on what the director said they needed. > “Even if they’re not listening to our exact lessons and are just doing what they want to do with their bodies, it’s really awesome because they’re not really given that opportunity anywhere else,” she said. > Marisa Keels, a teacher’s aide at Haugland Learning Center, a Columbus school for children with developmental disabilities, said the dance lessons are a great way to increase hand-eye coordination, the ability to work in a group setting and sound tolerance. > “Throughout the day, we make sure the kids are constantly moving,” Keels said. “Getting them involved in movements that move the entire body can help them build friendships, as well.” > After the children grew familiar with Tschantz and her dance lessons, they began to pick up on the routine, make more eye contact and move a little more, Tschantz said. > “I think that’s what’s so exciting,” she said. “They don’t know their potential and they don’t even know what they’re capable of. It’s cool to see them have these self discoveries and watch them prove to themselves that they can do things that they didn’t think they could do before.” > Tschantz plans to continue her work next year with children with developmental disabilities at the Nisonger Center, a branch of the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Neurological Institute that works to improve the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities. Her long-term goal however, is to open a wellness center of her own. > “I want to open a center that will allow me to implement dance as a wellness factor for those with autism [and various other challenges]” she said. “I’ve had a lot of psychological and physical struggles myself and something that’s always kept me going is dance. So I want to be able to give what I’ve gotten.” Here is a link to a video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKYub082aCc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKYub082aCc) (source: [Ohio State student shows impact dance can have on children with autism – The Lantern](https://www.thelantern.com/2017/04/ohio-state-student-shows-impact-dance-can-have-on-children-with-autism/)) ---

The subject of recent posts has mainly been on Autism-related events and organisations in the state of Ohio. To the south, the _Highlands Center for Autism_ is a Prestonburg, Kentucky-based nonprofit center-based program exclusively using Applied Behavior Analysis in a clinical setting. The program has a low child to staff ratio (virtually 1:1) and each child’s program is tailored to their needs… > [@](#): > > Tyler Hall’s autistic 2-year-old son could speak only a few words in January 2012 when he entered the Highlands Center for Autism in Prestonsburg. > > More than a year later, the 3-year-old has learned dozens of new words and can dress and feed himself. His parents also can do something new: “We can go out to eat,” Tyler Hall said. “None of this would have been possible without the center.” > > But the Halls and a dozen other parents of children attending the Highlands Center are struggling to get their health insurance companies to pay for treatment of their children three years after a state law was passed that requires large insurance plans to pay for autism-related treatments. > > “The amount of effort used to try to get around what they are supposed to do is mind-boggling,” said Hall, who moved from Lexington to Prestonsburg so his son – and now his nearly 2-year-old daughter – can attend the Highlands Center. “It’s an injustice to these families and to the center.” > > …For some parents, reimbursement from an insurance company might come too late. > > Heather and Will Dales had to take out a bank loan to cover the cost for their 6-year-old son to attend the Highlands Center. The family, which owns a house in Virginia and rents a house in Prestonsburg, has insurance with Anthem and Humana and has been trying to get reimbursed for their son’s treatment since the law took effect in January 2011. > > Friends, family and strangers have helped the Dales family raise money for treatment, and they receive scholarship money from the center, but the bills are adding up, Heather Dales said. > > “If they don’t start paying for treatment soon, this will be Hunter’s last year at the center,” she said.

The _Autism Society of Central Ohio_ is a Worthington, Ohio-based non-profit group of parents and professionals advocating for people with Autism. Its _Together in Motion_ program also aims to help those in Central Ohio who are affected by Autism… > [@](#): > > To see these kids come into class all jittery and wiggling and then become calm enough to do slow, 3-part breathing is almost magic, says Kelly Schulze, yoga teacher and coordinator of Together in Motion, a new program to help those in Central Ohio who are affected by autism. > > “It was a total shock to us when our son was diagnosed,” says Schulze. “He was our first, so everything was unfamiliar to us. When our daughter came along though, we couldn’t help noticing the differences, and once we got the diagnosis, we got into the therapies that have helped us so much – one being physical therapy.” > > Helping her son with his physical therapy gave Schulze the idea to create a yoga program for autistic children and their caregivers. For years, she had practiced some stretches with a Rodney Yee yoga video, but she noticed a big difference in herself after taking prenatal yoga class and then yoga teacher training at Yoga On High. > > “I started seeing connections,” she says. “I knew that learning to connect and self-calm so helps to relax the flight/fight reflexes and ease body functions.” > > After much work and research by Schulze and others at the Autism Society of Central Ohio (ASCO), a grant was received from the Hussman Foundation to create Together in Motion (TIM), a child-focused yoga program for autistic children age 12 and up, and their caregivers. The grant was small so they need lots of donated resources, including studio space. > > …“For our next two series, we will be at Yoga on High/Grow Yoga,” says Schulze. “Michelle Vinbury at Yoga on High has been fantastic and very supportive.” > > Besides her Yoga on High training, Schulze uses relaxation techniques developed by Louise Goldberg to help those on the autism spectrum. > > “We do lots of moves to open tight chests which then helps with breathing, and that helps with the speech therapy,” says Schulze. “I have also noticed balance really improve from month to month with the kids in the series. Feedback from parents shows that they are seeing real progress.” > > Besides the physical benefits, the kids also better their social skills. Schulze observed that, “They become much more tolerant, and now you can also see a community forming.” > > Schulze hopes to grow the program and have siblings and volunteer peers join in the classes. > > “In a perfect world, I would love to have my daughter and other siblings practice with my son and other kids while the parents go practice something like Urban Zen and learn to take care of themselves.” > > Ginny Bryan of the Autism Society of Central Ohio said that she is, ‘super excited that the TIM Yoga program has been so successful.’ > > The ASCO has a fundraiser on …at On the Border at Easton. 20% of all proceeds …on that day will go to the Autism Society Central Ohio.

The barn is home to about thirty horses, many of which are ridden during lessons. The horses include large thoroughbreds, miniature horses and a mule. > The therapeutic riding lessons are conducted by Funk, but volunteers play a large role in helping the riders. These volunteers include …seniors Sarah Fowler and Rheanna Wilson. > “Volunteering at Stockhands has been one of the most rewarding opportunities I’ve ever been presented with,” Fowler said. > “Not only do I get to work with children who are in need, I get to watch them grow and make leaps and strides in their normal day to day functioning. > Knowing that, even if only for a few hours a week, I’m making a difference in someone’s life is one of the greatest feelings.” > Wilson said, “Stockhands has been a really great way to give back to the community and experience how horses can help children and adults with disabilities.” > While many of the children who take lessons at Stockhands also go to therapy elsewhere, the staff at Stockhands believes that they have played a key role in helping them improve their social and motor skills. > “We do a lot with kids on the autism spectrum, and it’s rewarding to see a kid who’s nonverbal come in and in a couple months’ time to see them progress to the point where they’re appropriately saying ‘walk on’ and communicating with the horse,” said Benton, who runs the administrative aspects of the barn. “Sometimes it’s not verbal, but you can tell they’ve developed a bond.” > In addition to children on the autism spectrum, [individuals with various other challenges] commonly take lessons at Stockhands. > Lessons take place in six-week sessions, and are available at different times throughout the week. > Volunteers at Stockhands must undergo a free training session before working at the barn, but no previous experience with horses is necessary. Volunteer training takes place on the second Saturday of every month at 9 a.m. > Volunteers are able to schedule their hours according to their availability, so it is possible for [university] students to participate when they don’t have classes or other commitments. > “Being around the horses is therapeutic for everyone, so we can get our therapy, too,” Benton said. “But it’s the most rewarding to be able to see the kids.” > Not only do volunteers get a chance to help others, but according to Benton, the barn’s staff and volunteers also benefit from being around the horses.
