Preschool Special Education
Here is a nice web site with lots of information. They have a treatment section which does not include Hemispheric Integration Therapy but this is the battle I fight on a daily basis. It does not take away from the fact that they have good information about many subjects relating to Autism Spectrum Disorders. The particular page deals with rights and tips for dealing with the school system which I thought would be a nice post for this back to school season. http://www.brighttots.com/Preschool_Special_Education.html

H.I.T. Autism Summer Conference
I just got home from our summer conference here in Tampa. Everyone I talked to said they got a lot of information. I spoke regarding Hemispheric Integration Therapy as well as Functional Medicine with regard to Biomedical Interventions for the Autism Spectrum. Dr Knaus gave us some backround on himself as well as gave us some information regarding HBOT. Nancy Bentley informed us with regards to fermented foods and a diet which promotes digestive and general health. Suzanne Azizi ( I am a mother first) provided a passionate and inspiring story about her daughter and dealing with the educational system, IEPs and the law. The faciliies at the Children’s Board were excellent. Everyone seemed to have a good time a well as came away with some good information and it was free to all. So, I am happy with our first conference. Look for our next one!!
