Stranger In The Family:
Living With An Austistic Child
Most children suffering from autism are initially categorised as 'unreachable' and until recently institutionalisation was the favoured cure. It has only been in recent years that alternative therapies have been explored and startling breakthroughs made by the children who respond to those therapies.
This groundbreaking program documents the progress of a number of autistic children and their families through their involvement with a school that provides one-on-one therapy.
