ABR Therapy...

[Guest guest]

After seeing the post regarding ABR I started to read everything I

could find. And while it looks like it may help some folks, I have to

wonder, will it really help a child with PMG? One who's body is

fortunately in good " shape " , but who's brain is not? I got the

impression that ABR was more for patients with CP or folks who have

suffered a TBI or spinal injury.

The difference being CP, TBI and spinal patients have or had good

mental facilities to start out with and many, not all, PMG patients do

not. Basically what I'm coming to grips with is that while we do not

know for sure, we have to admit that there is a very good chance that

our little guy is mentally impared, and I'm wondering what kind of

roll that would play in a therapy like ABR.

ABR seems much more focused on the mechanics of the system and assumes

the mental connections are or where there, but they just need some

tweaking. But with our little PMG'er, those connections are not there,

or if they are they are in more of a state of disrepair and need more

than a tweak.

I guess for the $$$ they are asking, I need more information. Some of

the websites were pretty " infomercially " for lack of a better word.

And I could not find a single reference to PMG or LISS. I'd be

interested to see if anyone else out there can do some research and

share what they find. Sorry to ramble.
