Book Description
L’autisme est un trouble du développement de l’enfant dont les étiologies restent encore discutées et les méthodes de prise en charge très controversées. Le Jardin d’enfants thérapeutique du CHU de Saint Etienne, après une évaluation diagnostique, propose une prise en charge précoce et personnalisée des enfants entre 3 et 6 ans, ainsi qu’un accompagnement des parents. Le mode de prise en charge a évolué au fil des années avec un passage du soin continu au soin séquentiel. Après analyse des dossiers pour obtenir une base de données, une enquête téléphonique a été réalisée auprès de 69 familles. L’objectif principal de l’étude consistait en une description du parcours de soins des enfants depuis l’ouverture du JET en 1994. L’analyse du devenir médico-social des enfants ainsi que du vécu des familles envers les soins précoces constituaient les objectifs secondaires. L’étude a permis une vision globale de l’évolution des enfants et a montré : l’influence du mode de la prise en charge initiale sur le devenir des enfants ; le lien entre l’itinéraire médico-social ou scolaire et le parcours de soin ; l’importance de l’implication des familles dans les soins qui induit un fort retentissement du handicap sur la vie familiale. Le mode de soin séquentiel favorise l’orientation précoce vers la scolarisation et n’est en rien délétère pour l’évolution des enfants mais les parents sont plus sollicités au quotidien pour l’accompagnement dans les soins et les loisirs.

Book Description
This book contains the proceedings as well as invited papers for the first annual conference of the UNESCO Unitwin Complex System Digital Campus (CSDC), which is an international initiative gathering 120 Universities on four continents, and structured in ten E-Departments. First Complex Systems Digital Campus World E-Conference 2015 features chapters from the latest research results on theoretical questions of complex systems and their experimental domains. The content contained bridges the gap between the individual and the collective within complex systems science and new integrative sciences on topics such as: genes to organisms to ecosystems, atoms to materials to products, and digital media to the Internet. The conference breaks new ground through a dedicated video-conferencing system – a concept at the heart of the international UNESCO UniTwin, embracing scientists from low-income and distant countries. This book promotes an integrated system of research, education, and training. It also aims at contributing to global development by taking into account its social, economic, and cultural dimensions. First Complex Systems Digital Campus World E-Conference 2015 will appeal to students and researchers working in the fields of complex systems, statistical physics, computational intelligence, and biological physics.

Book Description
“An in-depth, scientific—yet hopeful and positive—look at how the brain and body work together . . . [Dr. Martha Herbert] has developed a new way of seeing autism.”—Library Journal After years of treating patients and analyzing scientific data, Harvard Medical School researcher and clinician Dr. Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism and a transformative strategy for dealing with it. Autism, she concludes, is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child’s genes and destined to remain fixed forever. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor. And while other doctors may dismiss your child’s physical symptoms—the anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, frequent illnesses or seizures—as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, limit stress, and open the door to learning and creativity. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits—for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and perhaps your next baby as well. “Invaluable . . . a must-read . . . Dr. Martha Herbert gets it. She not only gets it, but she puts it out there in an awesome book so the rest of us can get it, too.”—Autism Watch “[Herbert] goes further than most autism specialists. Her impressive science background merges with common sense and even intuitive sense [making] complex scientific and medical materials seamlessly blend with a holistic viewpoint.”—Relieve Autism “Hope and practical guidance . . . With this easy-to-read book, parents can gain wisdom on how to guide your child to achieve a healthy and thriving life.”—Mom Central
