So with this increase in diagnosis, are we learning more about the disorder? What is available in terms of treatment and funding, especially as our country continues to suffer financially? And, as autistic children transition into adolescence and adulthood, what services are being offered to help them mainstream into society? Join Dr. Dan Gottlieb for the next Voices in the Family when we'll explore what's new in autism research, accessing care and what both state and federal administrations are doing overall. We'll hear from Dr. Craig Newschaffer, Nina Wall Cote and Leslie Long. Newschaffer is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Drexel University School of Public Health. Wall Cote is the Director of the Bureau of Autism Services in PA. And Long is the Director of Public Policy for Autism NJ. We'll also hear from a mother of four who has six-year-old twins with autism. The 5th Annual Autism Awareness night at the Phillies was held on Saturday, April 18, 2009.
