Exciting New Therapy to Help Develop Speech in Children with AutismResearchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, have developed a new treatment referred to as Auditory-Motor Mapping Training (AMMT) that is intended to help nonverbal children with autism develop speech. The AMMT treatment strengthens a network of brain regions thought to be abnormal in children with autism through the use of combined singing (intonation) and motor activities. "We developed AMMT, in part, because another intonation-based therapy, known as Melodic Intonation Therapy, had been successful in helping stroke patients with aphasia recover their ability to speak," adds senior author Gottfried Schlaug, MD, PhD, Director of the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory at BIDMC and Associate Professor of Neurology at HMS. Results of the proof of concept study showed that after eight weeks of the treatment, all six children ranging in age of 6 to 9 years old that were completely nonverbal were able to approximate whole words and phrases. I personally am very excited by the results of this study! Especially the fact that the children were older and it is frequently stated that by this age, if speech has not been acquired it likely will not develop at all.

Parent skills training proves to be effective for preschoolers with ADHDRecently the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has stated that proper instruction in parenting strategies, also called parent behavior training or PBT, is an effective technique for improving preschool-aged children's behavior. The interventions are safe to implement, but parents who drop out of the program risk obtaining successful results. The techniques were shown to work with children who are at risk for developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), whereas using medication for children below the age of 6 years shows less evidence. The report also found that methylphenidate (Ritalin) and atomoxetine (Strattera) to treat ADHD symptoms are generally safe and effective for improving behavior in children older than 6 years, although there are not many studies regarding their effects beyond 12 to 24 months. There is not much information about the long-term effects of other ADHD medications. Read more on medical news today |
