We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to www.Childnett.tv - a first-of-its-kind FREE web TV channel dedicated to autism and other neuro-developmental disorders. Viewers can watch personal stories, therapies, and the latest medical breakthroughs 24 hours a day from home, work, or wherever high-speed internet access is available.

A little about the history of www.Childnett.tv. Dan Marino was approached to do a web channel on sports (specifically football) which obviously is close to his heart. However, something else was even closer. His son, Michael, diagnosed with autism, has done extremely well with early interventions. Dan, however, is quite aware that not all individuals with autism and their families have access to services. Although the Marinos’ presence is felt very strongly in South Florida, they felt the need to extend beyond those boundaries and reach people everywhere.
