The signs of autism center on a child's social interaction--from poor eye contact to lack of verbal communication. Unfortunately, these signs usually don't reveal themselves until the age of two or three, at which point, the opportunity for improvement has lessened. But what if it were possible to detect autism within the first six months? That is the basis for Philip and Osnat Teitelbaum's book, Does Your Baby Have Autism?
For nearly two decades, this dedicated husband-and-wife team has worked to develop a prescreening program based on physical movement. In Does Your Baby Have Autism?, the authors first examine the pioneering body movement work of Noa Eshkol and Abraham Wachmann. They then explain how to identify movement disturbances that appear to be the precursors for the development of autism and Asperger's Syndrome, allowing for an 80-percent reduction in diagnosis time.
Early diagnosis can make an all-important difference in the treatment of autism. Does Your Baby Have Autism? provides a key for every parent and caregiver who is concerned about a child's health.
Philip Teitelbaum, PhD, received his doctorate in psychology from Johns Hopkins University. He has been a professor at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Illinois, and is presently a Graduate Research Professor at the University of Florida. He has published over one hundred articles in the field of psychology.
Osnat Teitelbaum studied under Professor Noa Eshkol for three years at Seminar Hakibbutzim College in Israel, and was part of Eshkol's research team analyzing movement patterns in animals and humans. Since 1989, Ms. Teitelbaum has taught movement analysis in the Psychology Department of the University of Florida.
