Autism Research Institute Launches Mobile Website
The Autism Research Institute, a leading non-profit organization, has launched a mobile Internet Web site, http://autism.mobi, designed specifically for users of mobile devices and mobile phones.
Many of the major papers and published studies from the Autism Research Institute's website, have been reformatted for easy, on-the-go reading.
The site also includes advice for parents, treatment tips, and answers to frequently asked questions.
One especially valuable feature is the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), which is designed to evaluate cognitive, communication, sensory, and social skills - as well as the physical health - of individuals on the autism spectrum.
Parents and specialists can complete the ATEC on their mobile phones at any time, such as when waiting in the doctor's office, and they can immediately forward the results to their child's or patient's physician for review.
