Finally – A Company That Listens !

Jan-8-2009 By Barbara Zak

For those of us that have signed up already, the launch of Web Prosperity is filled with excitement.  As you may have heard, the pre-launch was supposed to take place on Tuesday, January 6th.  Well it didn’t.  Why?…. Because finally, there is a company that listened. They have given YOU more time to get involved…so, don’t waste it.  Here is what they had to say on January 6th:

Over the last 24 hours we have received a flood of emails asking, begging and pleading with us to extend the Web Prosperity Pre-Launch and continue to accept FREE sign-ups that are coming in like a flood.

You asked, we listened and responded!

We’ve made a decision to extend the Pre-launch by one week. The Web Prosperity Founders’ Launch will begin on Tuesday, January 13th at 12 Noon EST (9 AM Pacific, 5 PM UK, 6 PM Europe). Please mark this final date in your calendar.

As I am writing this, Web Prosperity has over 62,000 users with new sign-ups joining every few seconds. Yesterday we signed up a record of over 10,000 new Members and it looks like we’ll be breaking another record today! Our goal and my expectation is for us to reach 100,000 Members by our Founders’ Launch next Tuesday!

We realize that by listening to your emails and making the decision to extend the FREE Pre-launch by one week, Web Prosperity will grow by tens of thousands of Members. This will create more momentum for our launch on January 13th.

More sign-ups equals bigger commission checks for you and your entire team!

Please note that as of January 13th (12 Noon EST) *no* more free sign-ups will be allowed into the system. You will be able to lock-in and secure your free pre-launch position with a credit card purchase until Friday, January 30th the next phase will begin (WebProsperity Global Launch) when all unpaid positions will be flushed out and the matrix will be finalized.

Thank you for making WebProsperity such an enormous success!

Early Autism Detection Aids In Development

Sep-14-2008 By Barbara Zak

With the expert help of child-health nurses that identify crucial developmental delays, the age in which children are first assessed for autism has been significantly reduced.  Thanks to a study that has been conducted in Melbourne, Australia, children are now being diagnosed before their second birthday.  The breakthrough, has shown promise of saving large amounts of money (for treatment) and family heartache.

Cheryl Dissanayake, is the leader of the study and heads the Olga Tennison Autism Research Center at La Trobe University.  She stated that through routine infant check-ups given by maternal and child- health nurses, their program was a relatively cheap and effective way of assessing autistic behavior. The children were checked at eight, 12, 18 and 24 months, by  the nurses at 184 centers.  They looked for symptoms including lack of eye contact or response to their names, and failure to point, wave or clap.

“These kinds of behaviours … are evident from very early in development,” Dr Dissanayake said. “They are focusing on children before they develop language and traditionally it’s the failure to develop language that led children into the referral process.”

There were 105 children referred for further testing by La Trobe University experts over the two-year study.  Out of those 105 children, 80 per cent had autism spectrum disorder and the remainder had language or developmental delays. Only one extremely shy toddler was incorrectly referred to the program.

Up until now, autism is not usually diagnosed until children are at least three. This earlier detection, allows parents to enter special intervention programs, one whole year earlier, before the disorder becomes more severe and secondary symptoms, such as aggressive behavior develop. By the time a child is three, these types of behaviors are often times already in place.

Dr. Dissanayake states, “We are over the moon – it’s beyond our wildest dreams,” about the success rate. But the program’s funding, through a Telstra community development grant, runs out next month. “What we would like to do in the first instance is have the Victorian Government extend this across the state, and then I would like to see it spread much more across the nation.”

“Social stories” and picture sequence therapy using photographs of children engaged in daily activities, such as eating, shopping, playing, using the toilet,  and washing your hands among others, have been proven to be effective tools and learning aids. This form of therapy, helps to pre-program children with what is “supposed to happen” in their day.  There should be no reason not to enact earlier diagnosis ( such as in this study) and intervention for autistic children here in the USA.
