International AIDS Conference Could Return To U.S. If Ban On HIV-Positive Visitors Is Reversed
The International AIDS Society (IAS) announced Thursday it is considering Washington, D.C., as the location for the 2012 biannual International AIDS Conference, Science Magazine"s blog, the ScienceInsider reports. "But before it holds the conference anywhere in the U.S., the federal government must change a law that bans HIV-infected people from entering the country," according to Science Insider. The conference has not been held in the U.S. since 1990, because the government banned people living with HIV from entering the U.S. "This long-standing law, which is contrary to all scientific evidence and human rights principles, is one of the U.S."s weakest spots in HIV policy," IAS President Julio Montaner said in a statement. The law has been repealed, but HHS still has HIV on the list of communicable diseases that bar entry. "In a statement to ScienceInsider, HHS said it has submitted "a notice of proposed rule-making to implement this change" to the Office of Management and Budget for its review," according to the blog (Cohen, ScienceInsider/Science, 6/11).

Autism Spectrum Therapies Offers New Summer Programs & Services For Children With Autism And Their Families In Southern California

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST), an agency providing behavior therapy and other autism services, now offers new summer programs for children of all ages and their parents. These fun, kid-friendly programs are designed to help children with autism disorders maintain their academic and communication skills over summer vacation and to develop new skills for the upcoming school year. "It"s all too easy for academic, social, and communication skills to fade over the long summer months, and that poses an extra challenge for a child with autism," notes Ronit Molko, Ph.D., a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and co-founder of AST. "Our summer programs allow children to retain what they"ve learned over the past school year and help them develop new skills, too. And we"ve made these programs as enjoyable for children as they are educational." AST"s new summer programs include: - Summertime Home School provides an experienced behavior therapist to address specific goals and skills in a structured in-home format focusing on academics and communication. - At-Home Booster Program helps children "boost" academic skills and prepare for the upcoming school year with an individualized study plan and qualified supervision. - Social Skills Groups offer opportunities for children to practice and advance social skills via one-on-one instruction with an experienced behavior therapist or in small supervised groups. AST also offers Summer Respite & Leisure Services for Parents, who sometimes just need a breather from their caregiver obligations, but find it difficult to find childcare providers with specialized training and experience working with children with autism. AST"s family-focused programs incorporate natural home routines to foster an environment that supports a child"s therapeutic goals. The agency"s play-based therapy and other treatment programs are grounded in scientifically-validated teaching methods and are supervised by a highly qualified clinical staff. Interested families should contact AST to inquire about programs and services available in their area, as space may be limited. Please call (866) AST-1520 or visit www.autismtherapies.com.
