Hormonal Therapies Offer Effective Solutions For Many Adult Women With Acne
Although acne traditionally has been considered a disease of teenagers, it is also extremely common in adult women. Studies show that acne affects more than 50 percent of women between the ages of 20-29 and more than 25 percent of women between the ages of 40-49 (1). In fact, after age 20, women are far more likely to report having acne than men. While there is no cure for acne, dermatologists are finding that hormonal therapies can help some women fight bothersome acne that occurs in adulthood.

Autism Spectrum Therapies Offers New Summer Programs & Services For Children With Autism And Their Families In Southern California

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST), an agency providing behavior therapy and other autism services, now offers new summer programs for children of all ages and their parents. These fun, kid-friendly programs are designed to help children with autism disorders maintain their academic and communication skills over summer vacation and to develop new skills for the upcoming school year. "It"s all too easy for academic, social, and communication skills to fade over the long summer months, and that poses an extra challenge for a child with autism," notes Ronit Molko, Ph.D., a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and co-founder of AST. "Our summer programs allow children to retain what they"ve learned over the past school year and help them develop new skills, too. And we"ve made these programs as enjoyable for children as they are educational." AST"s new summer programs include: - Summertime Home School provides an experienced behavior therapist to address specific goals and skills in a structured in-home format focusing on academics and communication. - At-Home Booster Program helps children "boost" academic skills and prepare for the upcoming school year with an individualized study plan and qualified supervision. - Social Skills Groups offer opportunities for children to practice and advance social skills via one-on-one instruction with an experienced behavior therapist or in small supervised groups. AST also offers Summer Respite & Leisure Services for Parents, who sometimes just need a breather from their caregiver obligations, but find it difficult to find childcare providers with specialized training and experience working with children with autism. AST"s family-focused programs incorporate natural home routines to foster an environment that supports a child"s therapeutic goals. The agency"s play-based therapy and other treatment programs are grounded in scientifically-validated teaching methods and are supervised by a highly qualified clinical staff. Interested families should contact AST to inquire about programs and services available in their area, as space may be limited. Please call (866) AST-1520 or visit www.autismtherapies.com.
