OKC AUTISM SCREENINGS OFFERED |
NEWS RELEASE -- April
11, 2011
For more information, contact April Sandefer, (405) 271-5067 OKLAHOMA CITY In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, the OU Childrens Physicians Child Study Center has launched a new project to increase awareness and identification of autism in young children. Oklahoma Early Access Autism Project, funded in part through a contract with the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council, partners with local communities to offer monthly autism screenings and awareness throughout the state, at no cost to the participants. The goal of the project is to reach underserved populations who may not have access to traditional developmental screening services. Screening is a very important step in ensuring that children with autism and other developmental delays are getting the early intervention services they need, explained Bonnie McBride, Ph.D., Early Access Project team member. According to the CDC, less than 50 percent of children with developmental or behavioral disabilities are identified as having a problem before starting school. By this time, significant delays may have already occurred and opportunities for crucial early intervention have been missed. During the last week of April, Early Access will launch the project by offering screenings in nine locations across the state. The sites include Woodward, Enid, Weatherford, El Reno, Chickasha, Norman, Ada, Idabel and Tahlequah. Partner sites sponsored by LINK Project and Autism Center of Tulsa will offer screening in Tulsa area. Additional screenings are offered in the Oklahoma City area, sponsored by Oklahoma Autism Network in partnership with Easter Seals Oklahoma. All screenings will be provided at no cost to families/participants. The purpose of the screening is to determine if developmental skills are progressing as expected. Screenings do not provide conclusive evidence of developmental delays or autism and do not result in a diagnosis; therefore a positive screening result should be followed by a thorough assessment. Parents will receive information about resources in their community so they can help their child get services if needed. For more information or to schedule an appointment for a screening, call (405) 295-5273, or visit www.EarlyAccessOK.org. OU Childrens Physicians practice as part of OU Physicians, Oklahomas largest physician group. The group encompasses nearly every child and adult medical specialty. Nearly 150 of these specialists committed their practices to the care of children. The majority of OU Childrens Physicians are board-certified in childrens specialties. Many provide pediatric-specific services unavailable elsewhere in the state. Some have pioneered surgical procedures or innovations in patient care that are world firsts. OU Childrens Physicians see patients in their offices at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and other cities around Oklahoma. When hospitalization is necessary, they often admit patients to The Childrens Hospital at OU Medical Center. Many children with birth defects, critical injuries or serious diseases who cant be helped elsewhere come to OU Childrens Physicians. Oklahoma doctors and parents rely on OU Childrens Physicians depth of experience, nationally renowned expertise and sensitivity to childrens emotional needs.
