Re: 'Cure' for dyslexia comes under fire

December 11, 2006

Several comments. " Treatments " are fraught with misinformation like

the risks consequences and success rates. My son is not always able

to make cognitive, assessments. This effects his ability to function

in an independant way. I seek to improve his ability to map the

world, not alter or wish for another child. " treatments " like

companies offer a thing for profit. It makes my sons cognition a for

sale item. Parents spend 20,000 $ a year out of pocket and without

insurance compensation. I can't but I do spend my time effort and

what money I can to aid his understanding of this world to build

support bridges, and let him know that he is loved. Right now he

doesn't know he is laughed at or misunderstood because I know what he

means and why. Raven, experts are shooting in the dark with our

children's futures. (they lose nothing, they aren't invested and if

they are wrong, your son is another unfortunate statistic) He is

only data to them to be used, to ask for more funds, or test

more " treatments " So that it can be sold to parents that can afford

to buy their way into salvation. Some care and as we know some

don't. Information, understanding, and love are our biggest tools to

guide our children into adulthood, we can't guarentee the outcome, we

can only love enough to fight.

is a short film about a movie comming out. When I went to a

conference I met Dr. . It is a bit of my own journey

although I am in no way associated. I do not feel my son is a lost

soul, but sometimes I feel lost when I work so hard to be his

greatest ally.
