Canadian Health&Care mall Is in Fight with Autism

AutismAutism can be characterized as a mental development disorder which is manifested in disordered motor and speech activity, superstition of behavior and activity. As a result sufferers become socially isolated. Autism is a neurobiological disorder conditioned by interhemispheric connections. This disorder considers to be a chronic one and appears in the early childhood. Nowadays the scientists cannot be sure speaking about the reasons of this disease because the origin is rather unclear and complicated. It is a fact that an instigator of autism is a genes but the question whether it depends on the amount of genes or other mutations is not answered today.

Pediatric Medical Transport in the 21st Century Health-Care Landscape Represented by Canadian HealthCare Mall

 critical careThe article by Ajizian and Nakagawa in this issue of CHEST is a good illustration of the ideal model advocated by the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding pediatric specialty transport. With due regard and respect for the process and empiric principals therein incorporated, we would like to offer alternative consideration and a set of notions taking into account the practical confounders associated with operating a medical transport system in the current Canadian health-care landscape. Medical transport system should be worked out enough to deliver the help in time. The source: canadian health and care mall describes the picture of today's situation.

While the ideal is a laudable goal, its achievement may be impractical. One significant barrier in the model being advocated is the inverse correlation between the high degree of differentiation with adaptability and flexibility within the transport system. Designing a team that is able to deliver great care (as measured by achieving and surpassing identifiable benchmark outcomes) while being a flexible part of the transport system as a whole is another goal worthy of consideration. Extreme differentiation often leads to scarcity of resources. For instance, consider this scenario: a service has one highly trained pediatric specialty team that is the team of preference for all pediatric transports. A transport request is received for the transfer of a child with a “garden-variety” respiratory syncytial virus infection; the team is dispatched and dedicated to that transport, Almost simultaneously, another call is received, this time for a child with epiglottitis in extremis. In this situation, the remaining resources left to care for the sicker child are unprepared and suboptimal.

Back-to-School: 5 Success Strategies for Gluten-Free Kids

Back-to-School: 5 Success Strategies for Gluten-Free Kids

Back to school. Three simple words that strike fear in the hearts of moms universally knowing the mad game of musical chairs required to shift successfully from unstructured summer to the military precision required by the school year routine.

For those gluten-free it can be even more so. Perhaps kids have only learned they need to be gluten-free eaters over the summer. They might be changing schools with new routines and unclear processes lay in wait. Even if gluten-free eating has been something of a norm, I find each new year required connecting with teachers to ensure the classroom situation supports the needs of my ‘GF’ students and with little impact to the teacher.

Coconut peanut rice bowl with turkey, broccoli and mushrooms

Early in my adult life, I realized I don't have the rice-cooking gene. No amount of measuring, and rinsing, and simmering, and steaming will help me produce a perfectly cooked pot of rice. I have proved to be equally inept with white rice, brown rice, basmati and jasmine rice, though I can make a pretty great pot of risotto. For everyday rice, I rely on my little electronic rice cooker, which never lets me down. (I use it for quinoa, too.) I like to make as much as the rice cooker will hold, and keep leftover rice in the refrigerator to make dishes like this coconut peanut rice bowl recipe, which I created for Lynne, my friend Bev's daughter, who eats gluten-free and dairy-free. You can make this recipe vegan by omitting the turkey and adding more vegetables, and make it spicier with a squirt or two of Sriracha sauce. Coconut peanut rice bowl with turkey, broccoli and mushrooms Serves 6-8. (more…)

Naperville Central grad works with children affected by autism spectrum disorder

Naperville Central grad works with children affected by autism spectrum disorderIn a community like Naperville, many of us know a family that has a child touched by autism. With one in 88 children affected by autism spectrum disorder, early intervention therapy can improve the child’s outcome and finding the right therapist is the key to that success. Kiya Olson, 36, of Romeoville, knows that all too well. In 2005, Olson started Autism Service Providers & Beyond Therapy Pathways in her home. Since then, ASPB has grown to include five staff members and an office space in Naperville. Olson knew she wanted to work with children at an early age. “When I was 12, I got my first babysitting job watching a family with five children,” Olson said. It was that experience that lead her down the path to her career. After receiving a master’s degree in developmental psychology, the Naperville Central High School graduate returned home to start her dream. (more…)

Software Testing Company Exclusively Hires ASD Candidates

Autism Spectrum DisordersThere are roughly 500,000 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who have completed high school and/or college and offer certain attributes that make them better suited to high-level jobs like testing and debugging software than their neurotypical (i.e. not autistic) counterparts These characteristics include a heightened ability to focus, pattern recognition, attention to detail, and a high threshold for repetitive tasks. Approximately 80% of these ideal candidates for employment in an ever-growing field remain unemployed, largely because of social difficulties faced in typical work places. ULTRA Testing, a New York City based software testing company, however, is anything but typical. Rather than expect the candidates who are best qualified to adapt to uncomfortable and unpredictable environments, the founders of ULTRA testing devised a new business model that adapted the work environment conducive to allowing ASD workers to produce the best software product testing possible. Testers with Asperger’s or similar ASD profiles are given specialized training in a professional environment suited to their unique needs. Testers are teamed with managers not on the autism spectrum, who interface with clients and oversee project execution. The company believes this allows them to provide their clients with their best product, while providing opportunities for high functioning adults on the Autism Spectrum to excel at their jobs.
