Since November of 2004, Virtual Expert Clinics has been developing a revolutionary approach to providing services to children with special needs. Through a first-of-kind blend of clinical expertise, expert systems programming, and Internet-based delivery, VEC has taken a global leadership role in its first product offering: AutismPro.

AutismPro is a subscription-based program for providing immediate just-in-time therapeutic guidance to parents, therapists and teachers working with children with autism. The program allows them to build and manage therapeutic programs for individual children. It monitors each child’s progress and adapts the training as needed.

The expert intelligence and knowledge underlying AutismPro is derived from world leaders in the field of autism such as Dr. Kathleen Ann Quill of the Autism Institute in Boston and Dr. Pamela Wolfberg of the Autism Institute at San Francisco State University.

VEC President and Founder Cynthia Howroyd has assembled a team of developers drawn from the best New Brunswick has to offer in expert systems programming, interface design, online learning and web-based product delivery.

VEC has the backing of organizations such as the Business Development Bank of Canada, the GrowthWorks Atlantic Venture Fund, the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation and the Geneva Center for Autism.

In 2005, VEC was voted one of the “Top 25 Canadian IT Up and Comers” by the Branham Group. In2006, it won a Knowledge Industry Kira Award as New Brunswick’s most promising start up.

According to Ms. Howroyd, “We will be the world’s leading provider of online therapy programs for children with special needs. This is what drives our people, this is what we are.”
