Cognitive Research / Cure Ds? / Changing Minds Foundation

[Guest guest]

I know there are many parents that are interested in learning more about what can be done to improve their child's cognition. Some may or may not have heard about the Changing Minds Foundation and their protocol to improve cognition in children with Down syndrome. I went to the Changing Minds Foundation's conference in July. When I started writing the attached article, I envisioned a one page summary of the conference. After much thought, my writing evolved into more of an ABC's and 123's of current cognitive research and how it fits into the CMF's protocol to improve cognition. In the article, I have attempted to "pull it all together" into one easy to read format for both parents and professionals alike.

I would just like to state up front (in response to a statement someone is sure to post) that yes. . . . I do realize that children with Down syndrome will always have trisomy 21, yes - I do realize and acknowledge that this third copy of chromosome 21 will always be a part of their genetic make-up. I know that this is a common response by parents and professionals when the words "cure" and "Down syndrome" occur in the same sentence. Please read the article in its entirety before responding. Give it some thought. Let me know what you think!

When you are finished reading, be sure to go to http://www.changingmindsfoundation.org/documents/videoblog.html and watch the video blogs (success stories) of children that are taking the protocol.
