Center for Autism and Related Disorders Hosts New York Seminar for Parents on Autism, March 10 in Rochester












Rochester, New York (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), considered one of the most effective autism treatment centers in the world, will host “Where Do I Go from Here?” a seminar for parents on Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at the CARD Rochester office located at 6 North Main Street, Suite 110 in Fairport, New York. The seminar is presented by autism expert and behavior analyst Denise Rhine, MS, ED,BCBA. The free seminar is open to the entire community and benefits parents and caregivers of children 0 to 5 years of age.

“Parents who have or suspect their children are on the autism spectrum will gain knowledge of research-based effective treatments which can increase their children’s skill set and assist in reducing problem behaviors,” says CARD Rochester Managing Supervisor Denise Rhine, MS, ED, BCBA. “It will also allow them to see the most recent technological advances encompassing effective programs for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in every 110 children in America is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, making autism more prevalent than pediatric cancer, juvenile diabetes and childhood AIDS combined.

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that is marked by the presence of impaired social interaction and communication and a restricted repertoire of activities and interests. Children with autism show a great variance of symptoms, ranging from severe impairment in the use of nonverbal behaviors that regulate social interaction to a failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to age. Their impairment in communication is also marked and sustained and can affect both verbal and nonverbal skills.

“Because autism is a chronic developmental disorder that can result in significant lifelong disability, intensive intervention treatment is essential for the maximum benefit of the children during these critical developmental years of 0 to 5,” adds Rhine.

Attendees will receive a resource pack.

To register for the free seminar, contact Katie DiRaimondo at K.DiRaimondo(at)centerforautism(dot)com.

EduTone Acquires K12complete and Launches EdPay











Alameda, CA (PRWEB) September 08, 2011

EduTone today announced the acquisition of California based start-up K12 Checkout, Inc., dba K12complete, which will be merged into EdPay, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned Subsidiary of EduTone.

EduTone will integrate K12complete’s online School Storefronts with its award-winning EduTone Xchange™ Platform. The consolidated solutions will enable EduTone’s customers to streamline online payment processing and fund raising activities and to offer a broad range of school-related products and services to local communities.

The acquisition of K12complete is the second acquisition for EduTone in 2011. In July, EduTone acquired Global Grid for Learning, Ltd. from Cambridge University Press to become EduTone’s digital content marketplace for education. EduTone also recently launched the ET Persona, an affordable school-centric tablet that has been received with rave customer reviews. These acquisitions and the ET Persona product line demonstrate EduTone’s continued commitment to be the preferred ecosystem integration platform for schools and education service providers worldwide.

“Both public and private schools today are grossly underfunded,” said Robert Iskander, CEO of EduTone. “As the role of technology infrastructure in schools comes to the forefront, we are pleased to be able to provide our partners and customers with robust and cost effective solutions. Combining K12complete’s online storefronts with EduTone’s secure cloud computing services and affordable mobile devices, such as the ET Persona, will help schools become more efficient, enhance their technology infrastructure and address current budgetary shortfalls.”

“The synergies between EduTone and K12complete are compelling,” said Adam Thorpe, Co-Founder of K12complete. “This acquisition will facilitate a rapid rollout of K12complete’s payment processing and e-Commerce platform and will drive EdPay to be the market leader in electronic payment, e-Commerce and fundraising solutions for schools. K12complete is excited to be joining forces with such a great organization and an energetic team.”
