Society guest editing Special Issue on Asperger's Syndrome

The Autism Society has been contributing content to Education.com, a leading web destination for parents of school-aged children, for the past couple of years. This year, however, in addition to contributing new and updated articles and information to the site, the Autism Society is also serving as Guest Editor of an upcoming Education.com Special Edition on Asperger’s Syndrome. The Asperger’s Special Edition will give readers access to the latest information on Asperger’s Syndrome along with original articles from world experts and educators in the field. It is anticipated that the special issue will be completed and on the Education.com site by the end of June 2009.

In addition to creating its own content, Education.com acquires original articles from partner organizations. Before being published to the site, all articles must receive Education.com’s stamp of approval to indicate that the content is evidence based, credible, timely and easy to understand.

Education.com’s CEO Dr. Ronald Fortune notes the importance of these organizations’ contributions “We believe all parents want to do what’s best for their children. We’re here to provide world-class information, resources, ideas and inspiration to help parents get involved, stay involved and be powerful advocates for their children’s education. No organization on its own could generate the volume of credible resources required to meet the incredibly diverse needs of parents, so we’re thrilled to partner with the leading experts in each topic who can help us get parents what they need.”
