Friends and Resources

Here are some of our favorite friends online. 

• Advocacy and Consulting for Education: Advocacy and Consulting for Education (ACFE) is committed to ensuring that each child is provided with the services and education plan appropriately suited for his or her unique needs. ACFE assists by reviewing formal evaluations and assessing strengths and needs and by attending Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings with parents and the school district to discuss which goals should be set for children and by navigating special education procedure.

• Kyle's Treehouse: Kyle’s Treehouse is a 501 (c) 3 organization founded by Jenifer and Jeffrey Westphal, whose son Kyle was diagnosed in 1998. While going through the experience of searching for options, the Westphals were frustrated by the difficulty in learning about autism. There was no clearinghouse that provided information on the pros and cons of various treatments. While they found a treatment that was a good fit for them, they realized that it wasn’t for everyone. And there are dozens of different options for families to choose from. A nearly impossible task.  So they started the Treehouse. In a few short years, what was originally an informational resource has evolved into a community, where hundreds of thousands of visitors learn from each other every year.

• AIT for You: Auditory Integration Training (AIT) is a ten day, noninvasive educational and therapeutic technique which helps people to hear all frequencies more evenly, to improve in the processing of auditory input, and to decrease hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to specific environmental or speech sounds.

• Education Law Center: Since 1975, the Education Law Center of Pennsylvania (ELC) has worked to make good public education a reality for Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable children – poor children, children of color, children with disabilities, English language learners, children in foster homes and institutions, and others. Our strategies include not only “traditional” legal work, but also training and information-sharing; advocating for new laws and policies in Harrisburg and Washington; and working with organizations and media. We’re especially proud of our many collaborations with citizen groups around the state.

The journey unfolds easily with the Alert Program^®'s clearly defined steps for teaching self-regulation awareness. 

• Autism Treatment Center of America: Welcome to the Autism Treatment Center of America™, the worldwide teaching center for The Son-Rise Program , a powerful and effective treatment for children and adults challenged by Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) , Asperger's Syndrome, and other developmental difficulties. The Son-Rise Program was originated in 1974 by parents, Barry Neil Kaufman (best-selling author, Son-Rise: The Miracle Continues) and Samahria Lyte Kaufman for their son. The treatment and educational model has changed the way children with Autism are helped worldwide.

• The Out Of Sync Child: A great resource for learning about sensory integration issues.

• Vision Therapy: Vision therapy -- a type of physical therapy for the eyes and brain -- is a highly effective non-surgical treatment for many common visual problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence insufficiency and some reading and learning disabilities. Many patients who have been told, "it's too late," or "you'll have to learn to live with it" have benefited from vision therapy.  In the case of learning disabilities, vision therapy is specifically directed toward resolving visual problems which interfere with reading, learning and educational instruction. Optometrists do not claim that vision therapy is a direct treatment for learning disabilities.

• Weighted Blankets: A great website with fun looking weighted blankets- a huge help for kids with sensory needs.
