A Word About SMUG/ZEN Productions
Steve Janak, the founder of SMUG/ZEN and his crew, has been videotaping Autism One presentations, making them available on DVDs for the previous two years.
Steve is doing it for the right reasons. He has a sister with special needs. Steve’s mother, Laurette Janak, is presenting at Family Health Day and during the main conference. Laurette has played a fundamental role moving the community forward by lending her knowledge to many of the notable scientific autism research projects.
A primary consideration is keeping costs to the minimum. The inconvenience of geography is all the more reason to provide affordable information to as many as possible. Thank you for doing a great job, Steve.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas. Thank you.
My Best,
Ed Arranga
