Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 , Hi and I just wanted to say how hapy I am to hear that everything went so well for you. I always think that once you are home, in your own environment, recovery always gets much smoother. I'm sure that on those days that you just want to get lazy and not do as much as the PT tells you that you should do, the dogs will have another opinion on that and get you moving<G> Take care and get well quick.

I think that my progress and better health is reason enough to get excited. And in terms of graphic, huh, I could definitely go into more detail if anyone desires. =) Why bother subscribing to a message board such as this to begin with if you aren't open to healing yourself and learning as much as you can about Candida? Because this is just pathetic. You guiys are probably sick because you have nothing else to do. I have yeast problems from tiem to time but it doesn't define my entire life.

That's why you guys form these groups and keep yourselves sick, so you can feel like you are part of something. Mind over matter, guys. Yeast is just not that insidious. When I get a problem I just pop a few garlic pills and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they still are also not predictive of what she can do, just like any other kid. Judi, why did they insist Jessie be tested so often? Did they think it would change?

Were they trying to change her placement? Janis Probably because they don't understand the true purpose of IQ tests. Once your child has been categorized as MR, do they honestly think your child is going suddenly become NOT MR? If it's a valid IQ test in the first place, of course the full IQ won't significantly change (although the subtest results MIGHT depending on developmental rates of individual skills). BTW - the original Binet IQ test was designed to assess and discover learning weaknesses. It was the Stanford team that adapted it to assess kids and used to to try to predict future success in adult life... and 25 year later the results indicated that IQ is NOT a prediction of adult success! There were " gifted " individuals who were socially worthless - and the only Nobel prize winner in the batch was a person who had been sorted into the " non-gifted " group. I've got an authoritative book on the WISC III (Wiley publishers) - heavy but fascinating reading. The full IQ is pretty meaningless - to REALLY get the value of the test you need to examine the grouping of the subtests to pull out learning styles, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Also the test is designed for kids who fall in the middle of the bell curve... the results for kids at either end become pretty meaningless as well. For example - the max IQ a child can score on the WISC is about 150. I have a non-ds child with CAPD - at age 8 he had a pretty significant gap between his PIQ (performance IQ) and lower VIQ (verbal IQ) results. One of the subtests he " ceilinged " or maxed out on - so in another words, that particular test did not reveal his true ability in that category. FOr the same reasons, If your child is getting scores all in the very low end of the testing range, then obviously the test is missing something, because it is failing to extract your child's specific learning styles. It takes some professional insight to attack a school psych's results as inappropriate and ineffective. I sat in on an IEP for a friend whose son (non-ds) had testing at Kennedy Kreiger which uncovered ADD and written language deficit. The school psychologist was totally incompetant - he kept challenging the results ... after reading the WIley book I realized it was because he didn't have the first clue how to decipher WISC results. The grouping was a clear indicator of ADD. He also challenged how the WISC could show a low score for Arithmatic and the Woodcok sos (achievement ) could show strong results. He insisted the results cancelled each other out and were invalid. WRONG. The Wiley book explained that descrepancies will show up because of the differences in delivery model of the tests... a child with strong mathematic concepts but poor short term memory will do well on the Woodcock but poorly on the WISC. To understand and apply the results you need to understand the significance of the different assessment models. - Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hi I have been drinking herbal teas only. Probably have their drawbacks as well but I bought 6 different kinds/brands and vary the one I am drinking. Thanks for the links. I will be passing on the meatrix one to all my friends. I was aware of the chicken issue but not of other animals being simiarly treated. I am pretty well off meat these days but if I ever do go on again I will buy organic at least. Not much farming up here in the frozen north. Strangely enough you cannot even buy caribou or muskox in the Yukon although you can in the Northwest Territories. Not an endangered species issue but a meat inspection/government regulation thing.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but my audi agrees that I've never had a moisture related problem. I do think the processors and mics are pretty durable when it comes to moisture. Beth...I have had the same types of experiences. First with the CII BTE and now the Auria. If they get wet...well then, they just get wet! I am always on the phone and every time I wash my hair the phone rings! I also just put the BTE on with wet hair and don't worry about it. I wear the Auria in the spa. I don't know the statistics on the CII BTE ( which is my backup processor) but I know the Auria has had less than 2% moisture related problems since it was introduced...pretty good!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Deb H., Hi! Although I have looked at the descriptions of the Auria and the CII BTE, I wanted to ask you how is the Auria different from the CII BTE? Yes, I saw the Auria at a booth but I did not order it. Is there a big difference between the Auria and the older BTE? thanks, Liesl In a message dated 8/18/2005 3:48:27 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, Debyell4@... writes: I wear the Auria in the spa.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi Leighanne, I totally agree with . I am training to be a pediatric neuropsychologist, and my professors, colleagues, and I believe in early diagnosis and early intervention! For Autism, children can be diagnosed as early as 18 months, and pre-school or school age for Asperger's. There are also studies that look at the reliability and validity of diagnosing babies (more or less 12 months old). I have no idea what background your coordinator has and where she gets her training, but I would refer her to a psychologist, behavior or developmental pediatrician for consultation. I really do not know where she is getting her information. I'm sure her intentions are good (well, I hope!!), its a matter of getting her facts straight. Good Luck Take Care, R. Romero, M.S.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I agree an early dx. is essential but there is also a greater chance of a miss diagnosis. Needless to say if a child is displaying sighns of autism or other issues they need to be addressed. Not just make the parents feel crazy like theirs nothing wrong when they know different. My son was dx adhd, odd at4 by 2 docs. At 5 they added learning dissabillities and possible NVLD. At 8 I suggested pdd and they did screaning and said aspegers. Lucas is now 9 with no official dx. I'm still trying to figure out the differences between NVLD and aspegers. Suppossedly with aspegers there is no delays and Lucas can not say the days of week or alphabet so I'm trying to understand where the no delay's work. Yes if i had suspected aspegers or pdd years ago it would have made things a lot easier as Lucas has just started behaviour intervention. dandyliondawn > > Hi Leighanne, > > I totally agree with .

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 " Don't Shoot the Dog " by Pryor The Bobby Newman book " Graduated Applied Behavior Analysis " - he writes well and gives lots of examples Dick Malott's intro to behavior analysis book, " Elementary Principles of Behavior " . It's still a textbook but more of an intro one, again with more examples and he is pretty funny as well. I love et al as the definitive source for ABA, but it is very technical and very expensive.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Don't take any chances with your heart, I developed the racing heart several years ago, I thought it was a reaction to something I took, did? Well, last Jan, 05, it started racing really fast, and wouldn't stop, I called an ambulance, I have Atrial Fibrilation (sp?), I was in the hospital 3 different times last year, I never had high blood pressure until then, I never used medication until that time, now I take 7 pills a day, the racing has stopped, heart meds or LDN? I don't know but I will keep taking my 7 pills a day, (groan). The sore chest muscles: my experience has been indigestion. I have been on 3mg LDN 2 weeks, I feel fantastic, except for this Sinus headache! Happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stress test you are talking about, " Thallium " is a piece of cake, long, and you have to lay very still, no pain, I've had 2, I'm very scared to try to introduce new meds etc. to my system, (allergic reactions) I made a bet with the technician about me having a reaction, he won! ) I hope this helps you have that test.
