NF Referral for a WA. stuttering youth

[Guest guest]

Hello, I have a colleague out of the country who is looking for a Washington NF service provider to help her nephew. The child and family live, in fact in Mill Creek, WA. Here is the story: Can anyone here help?How old is he?Turning 6 in 4

weeks

Was he always a stutterer? If not, at what age, and can the family track it to any stressor?The last 2 years. It

started after we saw a homeopath and he gave him a remedy with tar in it. After

HE started to stutter he told us to give him something with caffein in it to

neutralize the remedy. It then started to come in waves, weeks on months off,

weeks on weeks off until now it is very steady with good days and bad days.

Any other "tic-like" activity?

Last October he started

to have nervous head move ticks ( as if something is scratching his neck) and

an obsessive need to smell his hands after he touched anything. At that time

his stutter was also the worst. Total block, mouth open, eyes rolling back in

his head. Couldn't get a word out. We then went on a extreme gluten diet. (soy

sauce, Hoisen sauce, anything we could think of) It helped for a few weeks but

it never went totally away, as it did when the stutter first started.

P.S. Not sure if this is

related but HE has had a really high fewer when he was around 18 months old.

PARENTS (mother is a chiropractor) always had the feeling his whole mood/ demeanor changed after this

for the worse. This was the reason we saw the Homeopath in the first place.

His hearing must have

been bad for a long time. It took ca. 9 months to get his ears cleared through

diet. His hearing is now normal. Could it be that he gets now too much feedback

through his ears that it throws of his speech? I am thinking of one of the

other comments of the message board, when the guy covered his ears and spoke

fluently.

Thanks,

Van Deusen

Hi -They could try Steve Rothman at Biofeedbacksolutions.com He works in Bellevue Washington. They could also try Elliot who does LENS and Neurofield. She is in downtown Seattle. Don't know her website.There is someone in Olympia as well, but that would be a long haul.There are probably others I don't know about too.
