The Importance of Early Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

a.s.d.-umbrella-1024x576
In recent years, the rate of children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) worldwide has increased. The prevalence also, of autism spectrum disorder has increased. In Australia, the former estimated that 1 child out every 100 children has ASD, now has been adjusted to read 1 in every 70 children is on the spectrum. With roughly 353,880 Australians living with autism, it is crucial to gain a better understanding of how to nurture and care for those around us living with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disability that affects communication, social and behavioral abilities of a child. Delayed speech, repetitive behaviors such as hand flapping and head rocking, isolated play, inability to regulate emotions and lack of eye contact and warmth may all be signs of a toddler exhibiting a possibility of being on the spectrum. The moment a specialist confirms to parents that their child is on the spectrum may be one of the most painful and heartbreaking moments to face. However, after a diagnosis is confirmed, steps toward early intervention services are critical if the child is going to become the best version of him or herself in the long run.
In Australia, there is no shortage of information readily available to parents via the internet on what to expect with an autistic child going forward. Support services for autism in Australia are gaining significant traction with the growing prevalence of ASD. What may be lacking, however, is an awareness of how important early intervention services are.
When planning for early intervention therapy services for your child, a dimension of the reality of having an ASD diagnosed child to look at is financial support and funding. Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia (NDIS), disabled children and adults alike may receive funding for treatment and support. Supports included in this funding are daily personal activities, transportation to enable participation in social, economic and daily life activities, workplace support to enable beneficiaries to obtain and maintain a living, behavior therapy, help with household tasks, support equipment acquisition and maintenance,  home modification and design, mobility equipment, and vehicle modification.
If you are interested in Eco-therapy as a possible intervention for your child, feel free to contact us, and schedule an appointment for a consultation.

How To Clean And Maintain Your Electric Guitar Fretboard

  Finished and Unfinished Fretboards  The guitar community is torn in a debate about whether the material of a fretboard makes any difference. Some believe that a rosewood fretboard is markedly different from ebony, while others say there’s hardly any difference. But when it comes to cleaning, you will need to be cautious. Primarily, the focus is on fretboard cleaning, but other  guitar parts   are involved, like the neck and tuning pegs. And if your electric guitar has a fretboard that uses unfinished wood, things are tricky, demanding extreme caution. So, it’s recommended to oil unfinished fretboards for obvious reasons. When you leave wood for a long time, it turns hard, thereby making it difficult for the truss rod-neck adjustment.  Unoiled fretboards can also crack in places that look bad and hamper your guitar play. How To Start Cleaning Your FretBoard  For maple fretboards, you don’t have to spend time oiling. Typically, they are pre-hydrat...

How to Repair Binding around the Body of an Acoustic Guitar

What is Acoustic Guitar Body Binding? Almost all acoustic guitars have some type of binding around the edges where the top and back meet the sides. Many acoustic guitars also have binding around the fretboard and peghead. Acoustic guitar binding can be made out of many different kinds of material including: various woods, plastic, or celluloid. A “true” binding around the body of the guitar is inlayed or glued in a channel cut from the body. A router is used to cut a small channel or shelf on the edges of the guitar for the binding to sit on. The binding is then bent and shaped to fit the body and glued in place. Most of the time decretory purfling strips are usually inlayed next to the binding. Purfling strips are thin laminate pieces of wood dyed different colors. You might ask, what is the purpose of binding on an acoustic guitar and why don’t all guitars have binding. Acoustic guitars have the edges bound to create stronger joints between the top, sides, and back of the...
