Growing Up Different
Description
Many children face challenges far beyond the usual stresses and strains of growing up. In this episode of Scientific American Frontiers, Alda meets several kids who are growing up different, along with the doctors and researchers who are trying to mitigate the difficulties they face. The program looks at the controversial use of cochlear implants to give some hearing to profoundly deaf kids, the latest in augmentative communication technology to provide speech to children without it, new insights on the fundamental nature of autism and the implications for treating autistic children.
