Resources for Special-Needs Children

There have been a lot of comments and questions from parents of special needs children recently.
Honestly, as RaisingSmallSouls is a personal website that I have developed about a subject I am passionate about- raising emotionally healthy children- I am not qualified to begin to answer some of the questions regarding special needs children.
Many parents have brought up autism, ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, to name a few.
Please help us guide parents by posting links to websites or support forums that have helped you!
Post the link, a description, and what YOU have found to be helpful on that site!
Thanks!
My daughter has a rare genetic disorder – Cri du Chat Syndrome. The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential has gotten AMAZING and UNBELIEVABLE results with children who have all sorts of neurological problems. From neurological birth defects, genetic disorders to head injuries, drowning accidents, toxin ingesition, autism, cerebral palsy, ADD, ADHD, seizures, learning/reading difficulties, etc. – if it affects your child’s brain, they deal with it. Their philosophy is very much in line with “raising small souls” and they have over 60 years of experience helphing thousands of children from all over the world in every range of ability. Their products and services are broad and fit every budget – from buying books to read on your own, to one time consultations, lecture series, DVDs, all the way up to their Intensive Treatment Program. No other resource I have encountered comes close to their value! Good luck and God bless your little souls!
The Center for Autism & Asperger Resources, Inc. is a non profit organization created by parents of children on the spectrum or developmental delay.
We can advice you how to create your own resources.
For Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome – Join COSAC the New Jersey Center for Outreach & Services for the Autism Community COSAC and go to the Conference every year in May in Atlantic City – It is wonderful and educational not to mention – it gives you “peace”
Also Read books written by Temple Grandin – a woman with autism that will inspire you and let you know everything is possible.

Fee resources for parents with children diagnosed with AD/HD, autism spectrum and learning disorders.
I am a Craniosacral Therapist and work with children with craniosacral therapy who have autism, ADHD, sensory, motor, and learning disabilities. The craniosacral therapy is very helpful for these children, and I work with kids at my office, and including in a therapeutic pool. I recommend looking into craniosacral for all children and adult with learning disabilities, special needs, and more. You can find out more about craniosacral at my website at http://www.maiahealingarts.com.
I recommend craniosacral therapy in conjunction with other therapies, including nutritional support, such as the GF/CF diet, and supplementation.
