Dr. Ronit Molko Calls For Innovation And Advancement Of Autism Services In New Book
NEW YORK, May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Ronit Molko, Ph.D., BCBA-D, authority in the autism services space and founder of consulting firm Empowering Synergy, today announced the publication of Autism Matters: Empowering Investors, Providers, and the Autism Community to Advance Autism Services ( available now). The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes Media.
Nearly 30 years ago, slightly over four out of every 10,000 children were being diagnosed with autism. Today, that number has risen to one in 59.
According to Dr. Ronit Molko, the global phenomenon of rapidly increasing prevalence rates, combined with a growing services industry, has resulted in a critical period in the evolution of autism services.
In Autism Matters, Dr. Molko—cofounder of one of the largest autism service providers in California—takes a critical look at the autism services industry and calls upon providers, clinicians and investors to innovate the current model of service delivery, forge new programs and create opportunities that will better equip autistic individuals with the skills they need to build quality, self-determined, independent adult lives.
As a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified behavior analyst, Dr. Molko has decades of experience studying both the strengths and shortfalls of autism services. But through her experience performing due diligence and healthcare services consulting for investors, she recognizes that the industry is not motivated to innovate and evolve itself. A market of educated and empowered investors, alongside forward-thinking providers are needed to advance and evolve the industry.
To that end, the author examines what the industry looks like today, where it is failing and why investment in this market with the appropriate and necessary objectives in mind is beneficial for both providers and consumers of the services. She explains in detail the current interventions for autism, how lack of focus on long-term client outcomes are impacting funding and success, and how investment in this market can transform individual lives, families and entire communities.
"A growing number of individuals with autism are speaking out about the deficits in current autism services," says Dr. Molko. "Ultimately, my goal is to advance outcomes for these individuals, inform society about why we should value, embrace and support the needs of a neurodiverse population, and give investors a guide to make a positive impact as well as strong returns."
The book Autism Matters is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
