Online Educational Company Offers Parents Discounted Summer Program for Children with Autism

NEW YORK, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Many children with autism need structure and consistency in their daily lives. So as schools across the country begin their summer vacations, many parents are looking for ways to maintain healthy routines and keep their children learning over the break. With the announcement of their Summer Program, Rethink Autism offers parents a way to ensure their child is actively engaged and learning throughout the summer.

Rethink Autism makes it easy for parents to create a summer program that will reinforce skills their child has learned during the school year. Beginning with Rethink Autism's downloadable questionnaire, parents can collaborate with their child's teacher to determine skills that their child can practice throughout the summer, as well as skills that can prepare them for the following year. Every parent who signs up for the summer program will receive three complimentary telephone consultations with an expert therapist from Rethink Autism. The therapist will coordinate the student's learning goals with Rethink Autism's award-winning curriculum to build a customized summer learning plan for the student. Parents can also invite therapists, family members, the babysitter, or other caregivers to have access to the Rethink Autism curriculum at no extra cost.

Rethink Autism is also supplementing these individualized treatment tools with a series of free webinars to help members stay motivated and informed during their summer program. An orientation webinar will familiarize new members with the Rethink Autism curriculum, and the final webinar will present effective strategies for transitioning back to school. Throughout the summer, Rethink Autism will also host question-and-answer webinars with Board Certified Behavior Analysts who have the unique perspective of also being parents of children with autism.

Families who subscribe to Rethink Autism before June 15th can use the coupon code "RETHINKSUMMER" to receive 10% off their subscription of 3 months or more.
