		<description>I can also testify that craniosacral therapy is an excellent therapy for helping alleiviate the symptoms of Chron&#039;s. i have had this for almost 20 years. After I started getting regular treatment with Craniosacral therapy my body has been much stronger, less succeptable to illness, I have not been on medication for a many years with no adverse effect. My doctor of course doesnot quite understand how I am so healthy - even after I explain it to him. 

So although there is no cure CST can definitely help with a lot of the symptoms. 
After a while i realised this treatment was so good I became a therapist. So if you have any questions or need help looking for a therapist near you you can check out my website  - www.cranio-sacral.co.il 
I am sure that this great treatment will help others as it has helped me.
all the best

		<description>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 www.maiahealingarts.com.

I recommend craniosacral therapy in conjunction with other therapies, including nutritional support, such as the GF/CF diet, and supplementation.</description>

		<description>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&#039;s brain, they deal with it. Their philosophy is very much in line with &quot;raising small souls&quot; 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!</description>

		<description>I like receiving the free e-newsletters from this ADHD site so here&#039;s the address to join and sign up for the e-news:

http://www.additudemag.com/members/signup.html

Their top 10 articles each month have provided excellent solutions, kept me up on recent info, and prompted me to read up on ADHD developments once a month, which I wouldn&#039;t get around to doing without the email link.

		<description>I found this website several years ago, as I tried everything I possibly could to help my son speak.  I searched, and searched for a sign language video that would help us communicate with one another.  When I came upon &quot;Signing Time&quot;, I was amazed at how well it was put together, and how much fun, and engaging it was for my son and I.  I know that for us it helped.  He was interested in it, and began signing with me, and later his speech came.  At three years old he started his first few words, and now, at six, he is as fluent as can be.  This collection of videos are really great, and have had a great impact on my son&#039;s ability to speak, in addition to speech therapy.  Great collection for deaf children which is what it is directed to.</description>

TOPIC:&#160; ADHD, Teaching kids in your classroom with ADHD
&#160;
Description: This website is primarily geared 
towards teachers, to help them understand what ADHD is, what it looks like, and 
different ways to effectively teach students who have ADHD.&#160; There is a section 
that describes the behavioral characteristics in a classroom setting, there&#039;s a 
section that describes the truths and the myths that surround ADHD, there are 
descriptions of common cognitive difficulties in his students with ADHD and 
teachers can get information in regards to both instructional and behavioral 
management plans.
&#160;
This website originates from the Hospital for Sick Children 
in Toronto.&#160; The information provided on this site is backed up by both past and 
present studies, and comes from a trusted source, the world-renowned Hospital 
for Sick Children.&#160; As stated in the above description, this site is geared 
primarily towards teachers although information on here would be helpful to 
parents trying to understand their child.&#160; The information presented here is 
thorough for teachers but the format is easy to read, the site is easy to 
navigate, and in regards to the amount of information there is not so much that 
a teacher can get lost and overloaded with information.&#160; There is also 
information here in regard to the teacher&#039;s role in the assessment and referral 
process.
&#160;
There are both basic and detailed ideas for teaching the 
child who has ADHD in the classroom.&#160; There are also many resources cited which 
include books, studies and websites, as well as reports in free downloadable 
format.&#160; A teacher can also order the TeachADHD Teacher&#039;s Resource Manual and 
supportive DVD through a link on its website.
&#160;

&#160;
TOPIC: children and adults with ADD/ADHD
&#160;
Description: This website is for and about children 
and adults with ADD/ADHD.&#160; This website is about the organization CHADD that 
endeavors to provide education, advocacy, and supports for those people who have 
ADHD as well as the people who live with, and work with them.
&#160;
“The 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.help4adhd.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
National Resource Center 
on AD/HD (NRC): A Program of CHADD&lt;/a&gt;, 
was established in 2002 to be the national clearinghouse for the latest 
evidence-based information on AD/HD. The NRC provides comprehensive information 
and support to individuals with AD/HD, their families and friends, and the 
professionals involved in their lives.” CHADD is a nonprofit organization and 
seems to have an unlimited supply of information.&#160; At first glance, it seems 
each in navigate but because there is so much information within this site it 
might be best to focus on one area of information at a time.&#160; 
The depth of information contained in this 
website is incredible.&#160; You can start at the beginning by clicking on the link &quot; 
understanding ADD/HD, and navigate your way through finding supports, 
membership, finding out about conferences and training, going all the way to 
taking action at the federal level (although specifically geared to the USA).&#160; 
One could easily get lost within this website, however if there is something 
that you would like to know about ADHD you are almost certain to find it within 
this website, including innumerable links to related sites and articles.
This website is worthwhile to anyone who is 
interested in finding out more about ADHD including teachers, parents, children 
and youth, those in the mental health field and more.&#160; I suspect that those that 
would benefit the most from this information however, would be both adults who 
have ADHD and parents of children who have ADHD, as much of the information 
seems to focus on understanding this disorder and advocating for those who have 
it.

TOPIC: Dyslexia (IDA = International Dyslexia 
Association)
Description: 
“The IDA Ontario Branch is committed to informing, educating and 
supporting individuals with dyslexia, their families and the communities that 
support them.”
According to the home page 
on this website, it is dedicated to:

  &quot;Providing
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_about_dyslexia.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
  information&lt;/a&gt; on dyslexia 
  
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_info4parents.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
  Supporting&lt;/a&gt; parents of children with dyslexia 
  Listing
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_resources.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
  resources&lt;/a&gt; for parents, adults with dyslexia and professionals 
  Encouraging
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_donations.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
  financial support&lt;/a&gt; to provide services to the dyslexia community “

The accuracy of information 
on this website can and is backed up by cited research.&#160; This is an 
international organization, yet this is specifically the 
Ontario 
branch of the organization.&#160; In this respect the reader gets the benefits and 
best of both worlds in terms of both worldwide research, and information 
relevant to those who live in Ontario.&#160; The navigation through this site is 
simple and the information is both thorough and concise at the same time.&#160; One 
can find out what dyslexia is, and what it is not.
The links to other sites and 
information is organized in a clear an orderly fashion.&#160; There are many links to 
Ontario organizations and resources, followed by Canadian websites and then 
International websites.&#160; There are also several books listed as suggested 
reading.
This site is useful to both 
parents and teachers who are trying to both understand and help those who have 
dyslexia as there are suggestions for both modification and accommodation for 
students, as well as ideas on how to support the student at home.&#160; Also listed 
are common signs and things to look out for as both the parent and the teacher 
as well as what tests and evaluations should include in diagnosing dyslexia.
&#160;
&#160;
&#160;
http://www.dyslexiaassociation.ca/english/mandate.shtml
Topic: Dyslexia
Description:&#160; 
According to this website, “The mandate of the Canadian Dyslexia Association is to 
promote awareness of dyslexia in order to improve the quality of life of the 
estimated five million Canadians who have dyslexia.”
At first glance this 
website does not appear to have much in the way of content and information.&#160; The 
information contained in this website however, is concise, easy to understand 
and does not tend to overload one with too much information.&#160; Here we find that 
there are three basic types of dyslexia with short and easy-to-understand 
examples.&#160; There are characteristics listed for one to look out for as well as 
listed myths in regards to dyslexia.
Although teachers could 
find useful information here, I feel that this website is geared primarily 
towards students and parents.&#160; There are large amounts of information on the 
method of teaching those with dyslexia that has been tried and tested, and found 
very successful called SMT, which stands for Simultaneous Multisensory 
Teaching.&#160; There are many links with information from characteristics and 
diagnosis all the way to those with dyslexia at the university level.
One area of this 
website that may be extremely useful to students, are celebrities from many 
walks of life who had dyslexia and yet were very successful in their life and 
what they did.&#160; Some of these people include authors and writers, artists, 
politicians and those in the military, scientists and inventors, business people 
and actors.&#160; I feel that this could be an excellent motivator for students to 
help them understand that dyslexia could be looked at as a gift rather than a 
disability.
One further note – 
there is a link which will convert the entire website into French.
&#160;

&#160;
Topic:&#160; Learning Disabilities
&#160;
Description:&#160; If you are looking for virtually any 
kind of information on pretty much any kind of learning disability at all you 
can find it here.&#160; You can learn about the basics of Learning Disabilities, or 
you can go to the section for “Learning Disabilities in Depth”, and everything 
in between.&#160; If there is a learning disability that has been identified, it is 
almost certain to be listed somewhere within this website.
&#160;
On the home page of this website, there is a statement that 
says&quot; the world&#039;s leading website on learning disabilities and ADHD&quot; - and based 
on what I see here&#160; I can certainly believe that that might be true.&#160; The depth 
that this website goes into is incredible.&#160; With so much information on one 
website, one might think that it would be easy to get lost-but this site is so 
well organized that it&#039;s easy to navigate.&#160; LD Online, offers hundreds of expert 
reviewed articles, along with many other resources, links, newsletters, and 
expert advice.
&#160;
This website would be an incredible resource for anyone who 
has an interest in any kind of learning disability.&#160; This includes, but is not 
limited to parents, teachers, younger students, college preparation and college 
students, those who are transitioning from school to work, and those whose first 
language is not English.&#160; For teachers there are instructional strategies and 
other issues such as inclusion in behavior and social skills.&#160; For parents there 
is information identifying Learning Disabilities, supporting your child, and 
working with the school.&#160; For kids there is a special section which includes an 
art gallery, personal stories, books and e-cards.
&#160;
This website along with all of the links and resources that 
gives people, could easily keep one busy for weeks.
&#160;

&nbsp;<br />
There are both basic and detailed ideas for teaching the<br />
child who has ADHD in the classroom.&nbsp; There are also many resources cited which<br />
include books, studies and websites, as well as reports in free downloadable<br />
format.&nbsp; A teacher can also order the TeachADHD Teacher&#8217;s Resource Manual and<br />
supportive DVD through a link on its website.<br />

TOPIC: children and adults with ADD/ADHD<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Description: This website is for and about children<br />
and adults with ADD/ADHD.&nbsp; This website is about the organization CHADD that<br />
endeavors to provide education, advocacy, and supports for those people who have<br />
ADHD as well as the people who live with, and work with them.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“The </p>
<p><a href="http://www.help4adhd.org/" rel="nofollow"><br />
National Resource Center<br />
on AD/HD (NRC): A Program of CHADD</a>,<br />
was established in 2002 to be the national clearinghouse for the latest<br />
evidence-based information on AD/HD. The NRC provides comprehensive information<br />
and support to individuals with AD/HD, their families and friends, and the<br />
professionals involved in their lives.” CHADD is a nonprofit organization and<br />
seems to have an unlimited supply of information.&nbsp; At first glance, it seems<br />
each in navigate but because there is so much information within this site it<br />
might be best to focus on one area of information at a time.&nbsp;<br />
The depth of information contained in this<br />
website is incredible.&nbsp; You can start at the beginning by clicking on the link &quot;<br />
understanding ADD/HD, and navigate your way through finding supports,<br />
membership, finding out about conferences and training, going all the way to<br />
taking action at the federal level (although specifically geared to the USA).&nbsp;<br />
One could easily get lost within this website, however if there is something<br />
that you would like to know about ADHD you are almost certain to find it within<br />
this website, including innumerable links to related sites and articles.<br />
This website is worthwhile to anyone who is<br />
interested in finding out more about ADHD including teachers, parents, children<br />
and youth, those in the mental health field and more.&nbsp; I suspect that those that<br />
would benefit the most from this information however, would be both adults who<br />
have ADHD and parents of children who have ADHD, as much of the information<br />
seems to focus on understanding this disorder and advocating for those who have<br />
it.<br />

TOPIC: Dyslexia (IDA = International Dyslexia<br />
Association)<br />
Description:<br />
“The IDA Ontario Branch is committed to informing, educating and<br />
supporting individuals with dyslexia, their families and the communities that<br />
support them.”<br />
According to the home page<br />
on this website, it is dedicated to:</p>
<p>  &quot;Providing<br />
  <a href="http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_about_dyslexia.html" rel="nofollow"><br />
  information</a> on dyslexia </p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_info4parents.html" rel="nofollow"><br />

  Listing<br />
  <a href="http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_resources.html" rel="nofollow"><br />
  resources</a> for parents, adults with dyslexia and professionals<br />
  Encouraging<br />
  <a href="http://www.idaontario.com/dyslexia_ONBIDA_donations.html" rel="nofollow"><br />
  financial support</a> to provide services to the dyslexia community “</p>
<p>The accuracy of information<br />
on this website can and is backed up by cited research.&nbsp; This is an<br />
international organization, yet this is specifically the<br />
Ontario<br />
branch of the organization.&nbsp; In this respect the reader gets the benefits and<br />
best of both worlds in terms of both worldwide research, and information<br />
relevant to those who live in Ontario.&nbsp; The navigation through this site is<br />
simple and the information is both thorough and concise at the same time.&nbsp; One<br />
can find out what dyslexia is, and what it is not.<br />
The links to other sites and<br />
information is organized in a clear an orderly fashion.&nbsp; There are many links to<br />
Ontario organizations and resources, followed by Canadian websites and then<br />
International websites.&nbsp; There are also several books listed as suggested<br />
reading.<br />
This site is useful to both<br />
parents and teachers who are trying to both understand and help those who have<br />
dyslexia as there are suggestions for both modification and accommodation for<br />
students, as well as ideas on how to support the student at home.&nbsp; Also listed<br />
are common signs and things to look out for as both the parent and the teacher<br />
as well as what tests and evaluations should include in diagnosing dyslexia.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />

Topic: Dyslexia<br />
Description:&nbsp;<br />
According to this website, “The mandate of the Canadian Dyslexia Association is to<br />
promote awareness of dyslexia in order to improve the quality of life of the<br />
estimated five million Canadians who have dyslexia.”<br />
At first glance this<br />
website does not appear to have much in the way of content and information.&nbsp; The<br />
information contained in this website however, is concise, easy to understand<br />
and does not tend to overload one with too much information.&nbsp; Here we find that<br />
there are three basic types of dyslexia with short and easy-to-understand<br />
examples.&nbsp; There are characteristics listed for one to look out for as well as<br />
listed myths in regards to dyslexia.<br />
Although teachers could<br />
find useful information here, I feel that this website is geared primarily<br />
towards students and parents.&nbsp; There are large amounts of information on the<br />
method of teaching those with dyslexia that has been tried and tested, and found<br />
very successful called SMT, which stands for Simultaneous Multisensory<br />
Teaching.&nbsp; There are many links with information from characteristics and<br />
diagnosis all the way to those with dyslexia at the university level.<br />
One area of this<br />
website that may be extremely useful to students, are celebrities from many<br />
walks of life who had dyslexia and yet were very successful in their life and<br />
what they did.&nbsp; Some of these people include authors and writers, artists,<br />
politicians and those in the military, scientists and inventors, business people<br />
and actors.&nbsp; I feel that this could be an excellent motivator for students to<br />
help them understand that dyslexia could be looked at as a gift rather than a<br />
disability.<br />
One further note –<br />
there is a link which will convert the entire website into French.<br />

Topic:&nbsp; Learning Disabilities<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Description:&nbsp; If you are looking for virtually any<br />
kind of information on pretty much any kind of learning disability at all you<br />
can find it here.&nbsp; You can learn about the basics of Learning Disabilities, or<br />
you can go to the section for “Learning Disabilities in Depth”, and everything<br />
in between.&nbsp; If there is a learning disability that has been identified, it is<br />
almost certain to be listed somewhere within this website.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
On the home page of this website, there is a statement that<br />
says&quot; the world&#8217;s leading website on learning disabilities and ADHD&quot; &#8211; and based<br />
on what I see here&nbsp; I can certainly believe that that might be true.&nbsp; The depth<br />
that this website goes into is incredible.&nbsp; With so much information on one<br />
website, one might think that it would be easy to get lost-but this site is so<br />
well organized that it&#8217;s easy to navigate.&nbsp; LD Online, offers hundreds of expert<br />
reviewed articles, along with many other resources, links, newsletters, and<br />
expert advice.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This website would be an incredible resource for anyone who<br />
has an interest in any kind of learning disability.&nbsp; This includes, but is not<br />
limited to parents, teachers, younger students, college preparation and college<br />
students, those who are transitioning from school to work, and those whose first<br />
language is not English.&nbsp; For teachers there are instructional strategies and<br />
other issues such as inclusion in behavior and social skills.&nbsp; For parents there<br />
is information identifying Learning Disabilities, supporting your child, and<br />
working with the school.&nbsp; For kids there is a special section which includes an<br />
art gallery, personal stories, books and e-cards.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
This website along with all of the links and resources that<br />
gives people, could easily keep one busy for weeks.<br />

		<description>My son attended a wonderful school called The Greenwood School in Putney Vermont. It is for boys with language based learning differences. It is very small(42 boys) and very unique. It gave my son so much self confidence, and the ability to be a self advocate for all his needs. He graduated last year and is now attending a private high school for kids with learning differences,that are headed for college. He is an honor student now and is  well prepared for all that life brings on. www.greenwood.org</description>

		<description>My grandson was diagnosed with SOD (Septo-Optic Dysplasia when he was 4 months old is now 4 years old and a second diagnosis of SOD/ONH (Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, needless to say we are overwhelmed.  He is developmentally delayed and he has speech impairment.  He also struggles in school but he likes school a lot. His vision has improved I believe however he now shows signs of behavioral problems. Because this is so rare we find it very difficult to connect him with good doctors.  I want to take him to the Mayo Clinic but cannot afford it.  In addition, he has been denied SSI to help provide him with the care he needs.  We will reapply soon. My daughter has Ja&#039;den when she was 20 years old and there is no cure for SOD/ONH.  My daughter needs a strong advocate to help her move forward in Minnesota.</description>

		<description>Treatment for children ages 5 and up who have autism, aspergers or autistic symptoms.  The treatment is non drug and is in California.  They use neurofeedback combined with therapy and social skills training.  All that combined really makes a difference.</description>

No immediate cure for crohns yet exists.  The symtoms can of course be alleviated by altering the diet and with the use of nature.  Crohns can be controlled without drugs, which just bury the symptoms under a cloud of drowsiness.</description>

		<description>My son is 4 years old, and has no official diagnosis.  He struggles socially, mild language delays, mild fine motor delays, and although a year or so ago he technically fit the autism diagnosis we held off on the label and he no longer qualifies.  Point being he is one of those borderline kids that is hard to put in any category!  Yet he struggles behaviorally, socially and in school a lot, and has the allergy/digestive/asthma/ear infection/yeast thing so many of the autism/adhd kids do.  We have had great luck consulting a naturopath on how to heal his digestive system and rebalance his physical system.  

Recently sonmeone mentioned the possibility that he might be an indigo child.  I still don&#039;t know much about the term, but looking into it I learned that he is picking up on nonverbal cues and the emotions and thoughts behind the words as much if not more so than the words people say!  I noticed it with myself first, and now that I have adjusted my communication with him to the best of my ability we have seen amazing changes!  He is calmer, happier, and we aren&#039;t clashing anymore - a big change from the constant butting of heads thing we had been into only 2 weeks ago!  I wish I understood it more or had a great site to offer, but I am just learning myself so all I can recommend is to google the term &quot;indigo child&quot; and if this sounds like your child you may be able to benefit from varying your approach to communication!  

Best of luck to all of you!</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facialtics.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tourette&#039;s and Tics&lt;/a&gt; can be easily managed through diet. It is suprising that more people don&#039;t subscribe to this way of thinking, especially since the diet also has been shown to help autistic children. Just my two cents.</description>
