In-school occupational therapists can help understand the unique learning needs of autistic children

In an Australian first, South Australia has appointed a new Assistant Minister for Autism, tasked to increase autism supports in public primary schools. This could not have come at a more urgent time as new research from the University of South Australia shows that parents world-wide report a lack of awareness and understanding of the unique learning needs of autistic children across all levels of mainstream school.

Study reveals clues what makes the human brain distinct from others

What makes the human brain distinct from that of all other animals - including even our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell types in the prefrontal cortex of four primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific - particularly human-specific - features, they report Aug. 25 in the journal Science.
