What about other therapies (biomedical, floortime, RDI, etc.)?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many autism therapies other than ABA that are available, and we believe that many of these therapies have helped some children with autism. In time, we hope there will be other therapies that also will be shown to be effective through rigorous research. LA FEAT encourages parents to start with a quality, intensive ABA program. You may also want to consider alternative therapies, particularly if you child is not progressing to your satisfaction in the ABA program.

What is dental informatics?

FAQ: What is Dental Informatics? (Dental Informatics Online ...
Dental informatics is the application of computer and information science to improve dental practice, research, education and management. During the last forty years it has developed into a research discipline of significant scale and scope. Dental informatics can be considered a specialty of medical informatics. For more information on dental informatics research read Dental Informatics: An Emerging Biomedical Informatics Discipline.

What is Biomedical Science?

Republic Polytechnic
Biomedical Science covers a wide range of subjects from molecules to microbes to medicine, from body systems to biotechnology, and from human genome to health issues. In the post-genomics age, these relevant branches of sciences are converging to deliver the promises held out by biotechnology. The mastery of the Biomedical Sciences is associated with a passion for science, and the desire to contribute towards understanding fundamental processes through a relentless process of questioning.

What is "biomedical" treatment?

Frequently Asked Questions
Since 1995, ARI has convened recurring meetings for carefully selected physicians, researchers, and scientists committed to finding effective treatments for autism. Their work has become known as Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!®). This integrative approach to treating autism is often referred to as a "biomedical" approach – meaning it combines a variety of strategies to address the physical and behavioral symptoms of autism.

What is your stance on the various biomedical interventions available and the DAN protocol?

FAQ about Autism Program
We feel that any effective program for a child with autism will incorporate key elements: biomedical (and sensory) intervention, relational work and educational dynamics. We are educators, not medical professionals. However we do have years of experience supporting families who are pursuing various treatments, diets, etc. Currently, we are working with a number of families who are working with British autism specialist Dr. Edward Danczak, with offices in London, Manchester and Glasgow.

What are the arguments for and against cloning for biomedical research?

The President's Council on Bioethics: Template
The primary argument for proceeding with cloning-for-biomedical-research is that it might lead to advances in medical knowledge and toward treatments and cures. Those members of the Council who support cloning-for-biomedical-research believe that it may offer uniquely useful ways of investigating and possibly treating many chronic debilitating diseases and disabilities, providing aid and relief to millions who are suffering, and to their families and communities.
