it's important what we put into our children. and we also do a saturday enrichment program periodically throughout the year, and that is very huge. a lot of our families don't have a place where they can take their children. and nassan's place is on the go right now to find a facility. we don't currently have our own facility. we're on the cusp of trying to get funding so that we will have that, because these families need to have a place that they feel like they belong. because a traditional after-school program, a lot of those workers don't understand what autism is, and so many families are being turned away. >> because they're not equipped to deal with the children. >> they're not educated. correct. >> can i ask you, dr. bentley? it's one of the biggest questions i know you're probably asked. >> mm-hmm. >> do we know yet what causes autism? >> well, to answer that question, you really need to look at the cause of autism in terms of two categories. so, we have those individuals who have pure autism spectrum disorder and then t

to enable them to only have children when they really want to have children and feel ready. and that would mean they would be older, more mature, more experienced, completed their education and more likely to be in a stable relationship with a stable partner. so this is a very promising direction and one we're going to talk more about, because what came out of this entire effort to produce this volume was that this was one of the few areas that we saw where you could probably make some difference. and you're going to be hearing, now, from some people who know a lot more about that. so i'll stop and turn this back to ron. >> thank you, bell, so bell already gave my introduction for me, which is, if you're really interested in marriage and think marriage has a big impact on children's well-being, and then we look around for interventions that have an impact, according to good studies, random assignment studies, pretty much the only thing that really has consistently shown an impact are -- thank you. the only thing that's consistently shown an impact is reducing non-marital bir

but there is one impact for mother and children and the father as well.here much more likely to live in poverty i haven't met anyone who makes the claim poverty is good for kids or adults. can you think of any intervention? five times better than the control group? but then kids are five times as likely to be poor if they are in a single parent family. so clearly there is a big impact on poverty if you just want to summarize, and there are many of their outcomes at least one hybrid called decent steady featuring a random assignment steadies' reducing poverty rates, no question about that. a lot of evidence of slower abortion rates because women you are pregnant outside of marriage is more likely to get an abortion and an increased likelihood of prenatal care kids are twice as likely to get prenatal care if it is planned rather than an unplanned pregnancy. the reduced rates biting about almost all of these with cost savings for government may be day are exaggerated but a uts cost race for every dollar of cost does not include any long-term benefits and the

there is a double standard that treats mexican children differently from children from these central american countries and essentially accords less protection for mexican children. our recommendation is that those recommendations be improved to bring them on par. that's another issue. on funding, i'll just mention here that this debate brought up a lot of attention regarding not just handling on the borders. there is requests for more funding from the administration for detention facilities on the order of about $300 million. a.i.l.a. is concerned about expending more money for detention for these kinds of families. there's also been more attention paid to the need for funding overseas -- not -- foreign aid to build capacity to improve conditions there. those are just a few of the things. >> all right. let's wrap up at the very end here on the reforms of the legalization. we'll cover this quickly. you heard on an earlier panel from the regulatory team at the department of homeland security about a few priorities. want to highlight that the visa modernization recommendation report in

our children, our family's council. we've matured in our discussion of what it should be and it wasn't just about children's services and education. of course that's going to be a very high focus but what we discussed in creating this council is what is or vision for children and families in the city? what kind of service do we need? what kind of education system can we have? but included in this discussion is what are the infrastructure issues that we need to address. since it's a form in the beginning to talk about some of the far reaching and near and far goals, that should be the place where a lot of the discussion where schools are going to happen because all the city departments are involved. the head of the departments and many in the school districts can be involved and maybe that can be a platform for that discussion. because i was thinking i'm probably guilty i was still focused on family housing and push for child care and oftentimes i forget when they come to my office to mention where is the school and i ne

many of the children who were old enough to work never went back when the schools were open other children, i remember writing about one particular child who is six when schools should close. by the time he started school he was ten years old, cannot read or write, is tutors were incredibly frustrated with him. he got 77 years of education before they graduated him. so, this has has affected future generations and enormous ways. it has not only affected the people that were denied an education but their descendents too. i think it impacted the way they feel about public education, how engaged they were in their children and grandchildren's education. i also think, the county still doesn't fund the schools. they tend to view the schools as the black schools which is how they refer to them when it took a second supreme court ruling in 1964 to reopen the schools. so historically they have been underfunded. members members of the black community being denied an education has not necessarily embrace that school district, and shut them out. >> jim, can you tell us about the freedom of choice ini
