On September 30, 2002, Dr. Dan Gottlieb hosted a special radio broadcast on
autism on WHYY-FM, Philadelphia's public radio station.
Now you can listen through the
archives via Real Audio:
Over 1 million people in the U.S. today
have autism or some form of pervasive developmental disorder. In fact, autism is
one of the most common developmental disabilities. Yet autism is still largely
misunderstood by the health care community and public alike. Dr. Dan Gottlieb
will discuss new the treatment of autism with Dr. Stanley Greenspan, author of
"The Child with Special Needs." We'll explore the latest research in the autism
spectrum with Dr. Susan Levy, Director of the regional autism center at CHOP.
Psychologist Dr. Robert Naseef will discuss how families are affected by autism.
