Kristen Johnson, Morgan Pritchett and Sabrina Otero are recipients of college scholarships awarded by the GFWC Women’s Club of West Broward.

The scholarship awards were given in recognition of young women who make the community and world a better place. The scholarship was open to girls age 16-18 who had to go through an application process. The three were chosen based on how active they were in their school and communities.

The trio was recognized during a dinner and recognition ceremony at the Pine Island Park Community Center in Davie last week.

Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine is offering free dental services for students with autism spectrum disorders at the Davie school's Baudhuin Preschool.

Dentists and behavior analysts at the Mailman Segal Center for Human Development, where the preschool is located, have collaborated to develop a treatment plan tailored for children with ASD.

The plan consists of using tools to help children with ASD feel more comfortable and prepared for dental treatment. These tools include an iPad video and a task strip displaying steps of treatment,

During treatment, the child is given breaks and allowed to play games on an iPad. After treatment, they get to choose a toy from the treasure chest.

The autism dental service is made possible by a $2.5 million federal grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
