PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 29, 2008 – World Media Television today announced the production of a special edition program in efforts to bring more and much needed media attention to this emerging American health crisis.

Executive Producer Chad Densen says "the incidence of autism is increasing at an alarming rate and we want to educate parents on the various therapies and treatments that are available"
