According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in
88 children in the United States is diagnosed with an autism spectrum
disorder. And though autism awareness is improving, the public
perception of these disorders still holds a certain amount of stigma.
Nancy Redd hosted a segment on HuffPost Live exploring autism today and
how we can better educate the public as well as educators on issues
surrounding autism.
Redd spoke with Stuart Chalfetz, a father and autism activist in
Cherry Hill, NJ, about how schools can better serve autistic children.
After seeing his autistic son's behavior begin to change, Chalfetz taped
a recording device to him to find out how he was being treated at
school. What he found out was astounding.
