Re: CHERAB vs CARE-Important news updates for New Years!

Subject: CHERAB vs CARE

Dear ,

I have a question, is there a Children's Apraxia Network anymore or

has the CHERAB Foundation taken over that or has CARE, and are you

affiliated with CARE as in CARE for the children that has been around

for so many years. I find this very confusing on where to go or to

send other people to your site/s. CARE for the children is a huge

foundation and deals with many third world countries. Is this what

your organization is doing now?

Thankyou.

Hi Maureen!

Happy New Year to you and your family. I understand it may appear confusing

because of the changes going on here. Some of the doctors and I were

approached by a number of hospitals and organizations who want to affiliate

with us for research, education, or other reasons. Children's Apraxia

Network is still a nonprofit of which I am the President of, but it was

limited in what outreach we could provide for financial and many other

reasons, so even though it still exists, it will be phasing out as an active

nonprofit.

We are in the process of putting everything together now, but due to Holiday

schedules, it may not be up for all to see for a few weeks or so. In the

meantime, and in the future, our meetings and websites, and email list will

continue to be run by the same person that has been doing it all along, and

in the same way. Since that person is me, I can assure you that we are

changing because we are growing and getting better. It will be very clear

once it's all done.

CARE, CHERAB, and Children's Apraxia Network are all nonprofits that are

incorporated, but they are all different. And so to answer your question,

yes, CHERAB Foundation (Communication Help, Education, Research, Apraxia

Base) is the nonprofit that will run what Children's Apraxia Network ran

before, but bigger and better! Great news for all of us for the New Year!

Some other news is that our January meeting will be held at the Children's

Specialized Hospital in Mountainside as usual, but our February meeting will

be held at the St. Barnabas Medical Center. Going ahead, we will continue

to have meetings at the Children's Specialized Hospital as well, but due to

the interest of various professionals and hospitals, we will sometimes hold

meetings at other participating hospitals. Please pass this information on

since up till now all our meetings were at the Children's Specialized

Hospital in Mountainside.

For our January 8th meeting, (at Children's Specialized Hospital) Dr. Kane

requested a head count since she will be bringing handouts. In addition

Nordic Naturals will be supplying samples for our preliminary research on

EFA and apraxia. Please take the time as soon as possible to email me at

kiddietalk@... to let me know how many will be attending in your

party, and how many will need EFA, and for how many children. Please also

let me know if you are already supplementing your child with any type of EFA

supplementation, and if so, which one. For more information on Dr. Kane,

visit http://www.bodybio.com/drkane.html. For more information on this

month's meeting, please visit our old website, http://www.apraxia.cc and

look under the duckie index for " Future Events " Dr. Agin will be at this

meeting to answer questions as a developmental pediatrician.

Hope that clears things up for now a bit. Have a wonderful and safe New

Years!
