I just wanted to let you know that this is a great web site and it has a lot of valuable information for professionals, therapists and parents! I work on an autism spectrum disorder team and I found great and useful information here. Thanks!

Polyxo.com is a resource for parents, professionals, or anyone interested in teaching children with autism or other related developmental disorders. Polyxo.com was developed by Jason Wallin to encompass a variety of instructional techniques and philosophies.
Thank you to all who continue to use Polyxo.com, in spite of my neglect of it for many years now. If anyone is interested in collaborating on revisions and adding new information, please contact me.
I am currently a graduate student in experimental psychology at Central Washington University. My thesis research examines the gestures that children, with autism and without, use when they are very young. I'm using existing home videos of birthday parties as my dataset.
If you would like to participate in this research and have video of your child's 1st, 2nd, and or 3rd birthday parties, please visit http://www.childgesture.org for more information and to sign up. I can take participants from anywhere in the United States. Thank you!
