Brain injury, Birth trauma, abuse and neglect, chemical imbalances, allergies, sensory issues, autism, behavior disorders, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, metabolic disorders, genetic disorders. This group is for parents of children who have challenges. Therapists who want to help parents are welcome. Because 'the problem' may be the result of multiple aspects, many areas may need to be considered for treatment.

The keynote of this group will be extensive files and links for parents to peruse and look at options that best fit their situation.

Many parents have hoped for, and looked for, the "Magic Bullet" to help solve a problem for their child. I have decided it does not exist, but maintaining a positive view that help is out there, consider looking for the "Magic Gunshot", in other words, lots of little pellets of therapy, techniques, ideas that may help. A comprehensive approach may be necessary rather than one specific therapy. This list is to discuss the many options and help parents sort through those and choose among them. Some therapies may fit better depending on the child's development, the family's finances, the family's time, the family's belief system. Please share anything you come across, as it might be something, someone else will find interesting.
