Autism: new therapeutic programmes

This is the title of a recent article in the ‘Swiss Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry’ journal (reference: http://www.sanp.ch/docs/sanp/2013/01/fr/sanp-00101.pdf).

The authors of this article, Ms Hilary Wood, Ms Bronwyn Glaser and Professor Stephan Eliez, provide an update on their work in an early intervention programme in autism, as well as the development of “Vis-à-vis”, an effective socio-emotional enrichment software tool that is geared towards children with socio-emotional difficulties. This work, carried out within the Faculty of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry of the University of Geneva, is financially supported by Dora Foundation.
