Welcome! We are upgrading our Web-Forums to include all children's neurological disorders with separate Forums for specific conditions. We have added consultants in homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, developmental pediatrics, and naturopathic medicine to what I have previously been able to provide. Click here to skip these messages and jump immmediately to your choices of discussion forums available.
Second, as of 16 May, 2000, our section on innovative and alternative therapies for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is up and running!
Third, thanks to the cooperation of the Autism Research Institute (ARI) in general, and Drs. Bernard Rimland and Stephen Edelson in specific, we have put online The Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), a totally free interactive resource and research database. The Autism Research Institute (ARI) has recently provided this research instrument and simple Internet scoring procedure as a valid means of measuring the effectiveness of various treatments for autism.
Finally, the Cerebral Palsy Interactive Web-Forum is now open as a place for your questions, input and discussions.

Forum on the Spiritual Aspects of Special Needs Children:
Too often parents are overwhelmed by daily care, treatments, medications and doctor's visits to take time to really reflect on the spiritual side of their relationships with their special needs children. It is our hope to create a comfortable space, away from the constraints of "traditional" thinking, to discuss the intuitional, spiritual, dream or psychic experiences parents are having with their children. Whatever your extraordinary experience with your child, we'd like to hear from you. The heart whispers and the soul can speak in more ways than just words. We hope you will share your stories so we can begin to explore the unique ways these children do communicate that may go unrecognized. Click on the Nautilus to the left to go to this Forum.
