Additional Information

The American Academy of Pediatrics has recentlyimposed stringent guidelines for screen time. New clinical case studies have found that many young children who spend too much time watching screens display symptoms of autism. When parents take away the screens for a few months, the child's symptoms disappear. Considering this information, what are the changes we see in the developing brain when exposed to electronic screens? How much is too much?

In this course, clinicians will learn the risk factors and effects of screen time on the growing brain, understand the term "virtual autism", and learn effective treatment strategies to remediate or prevent these issues. This course will help participants educate their clients about this information, change treatment methodologies, prevent negative consequences of screen time, and treat symptoms quicker, and more effectively. This workshop will use effective teaching methods to give learners hands-on strategies to incorporate into their practice setting.

The content of this program is germane to children, students and clients ages 0-8.

i do not think it was appropriate to throw out suggestions for the causation of autism without founded proof. we need more practical ideas how to reduce screen time. if i tell my families to go roast marshmallows instead of watch a movie that is not going to work. we need ideas to encourage independent play. screens are used often when the parent needs to complete a task alone and keep kids busy. we need translatable activities where parent is able to complete needed task and kids are engaged in beneficial activity.

this was one of worst continuing ed experiences i have had on summit. she misrepresented research and spread information the i think is dangerous (autism links to vaccine for example). at a minimum the course should have been labeled "virtual autism." further there was significant conflation between causal vs correlational research.

excellent information. i see the impact of screen time on my early steps clients. parents, however, are not always receptive to limitting exposure as was discussed in the podcast. families living in small apartments seem to have the most difficultly turning off the tv or not letting the child stare at the computer screen next to them on the sofa.
