Autism Sensory Recovery Project
The Curry Stone Foundation is happy to announce an award to Dr. Louisa Silva for her project, "Qigong Sensory Training: Helping Children with Autism to Recover from Sensory Impairment, Enhance Learning and Improve Behavior." The Curry Stone Foundation is interested in original public health applications. Combining Western medicine and Chinese massage therapy this project offers a unique perspective to the public health problem of autism. This award follows two years of preliminary research funding from the Spirit Mountain Community Foundation.
The Autism Sensory Recovery training, see website, provides occupational therapists, educators, and families’ tools in helping young children who have been diagnosed as autistic. Training began in Coos Bay in February 2007 with forty families. In 2008 training continues to address needs in other special education programs in La Grande/Ontario, Oregon, India and England. Teaching Research of Western Oregon University and Western Oregon University Foundation administer this grant.
