Video-based Therapy May Benefit Babies at Risk of Autism
From: Bioscience Technology - 01/22/2015

Researchers at The University of Manchester have, for the first time, shown
that video-based therapy for families with babies at risk of autism improves
infants' engagement, attention and social behaviour, and might reduce the
likelihood of such children developing later autism.

Commenting on his paper, published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal, lead
author and Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University,
Jonathan Green, said: "Our findings indicate that using video feedback-based
therapy to help parents understand and respond to their infant's individual
communication style during the first year of life may be able to modify the
emergence of autism-related behaviours and symptoms".
