Inclusion Project [ 3/14/2009]

Red Cross Elementary has an Inclusion Project Team.
The goal is to fully include Cameron, a student with Autism, in the regular classroom.
We have learned a great deal from each other as we work together!

Study Shows Autism Numbers Up, Some Parents Concerned A new study is showing some startling numbers -- that one-in-91 children is diagnosed with autism. Posted: 6:40 PM Oct 6, 2009 Reporter: Daniel Kemp Email Address: daniel.kemp@wbko.com Story 0 Comments Font Size: A new study is showing some startling numbers -- that one-in-91 children is diagnosed with autism. The study released Monday uses data from the federal government's 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. Those numbers amount to more than one-percent of the U.S. population of children, ages three-to-17. They're alarming stats to one mother whose son battles autism every day. "It's not going away. Every year the numbers go up," said Dana Emmitt-Hall, mother of Cameron Hall, who suffers from autism. Each week, the five-year-old goes to TJ Samson Rehabilitation, where he works on living with autism. For Dana, new numbers showing a significant increase in the number of children with autism is n...

Watching Stem Cells Repair the Brain

Watching Stem Cells Repair the Human Brain Monday, August 17, 2009 TAU researcher shows viability of bone marrow stem cells with unique MRI tracking methods There is no known cure for neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But new hope, in the form of stem cells created from the patient's own bone marrow, can be found — and literally seen — in laboratories at Tel Aviv University. Dr. Yoram Cohen of TAU's School of Chemistry has recently proven the viability of these innovative stem cells, called mesenchymal stem cells, using in-vivo MRI. Dr. Cohen has been able to track their progress within the brain, and initial studies indicate they can identify unhealthy or damaged tissues, migrate to them, and potentially repair or halt cell degeneration. His findings have been reported in the journal Stem Cells. "By monitoring the motion of these cells, you get information about how viable they are, and how they can benefit the tiss...

Autism and Stem Cells

« newerautisable's weblogolder » Monday, 03 August 2009 Autism and Stem Cells - Part 1From: Dr. Chun Wong Everyone has heard of stem cell research and how some scientists believe that stem cells can be used to treat, cure or fix certain diseases and conditions like cancer and cerebral palsy, but now stem cell therapy is also being linked to developmental disorders like autism. But what are stem cells? Stem Cells Stem cells are cells that are found in most multi-cellular organisms and they are characterized by their ability to self-renew through a process called “mitotic cell division” and the way that they can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types in the body. There are three types of stem cells: Adult stem cells - These cells are also known as somatic stem cells or germatic stem cells and are found in adults and children. Adult stem cells have been used in research for many years and are used to treat bone and blood cancers like leukemia, through bone marrow tr...
