[Closed] Parent of or work with an autistic/learning disabled person?

I attended a talk last night about the HANDLE approach (Holistic Approach to addressing Neuro Developmental issues and promoting Learning Efficiency). This comes from a book written by a woman; Judith Bluestone who herself had neurobiological issues.

The crux of it is therapy to enhance proprioception, nerve and muscle condition for fundamental processes through basic, gentle physical therapy.

Non-verbal children have developed speech and some people with severe aversion to contact have become affectionate with people close to them.

It's hard to sum up in a forum post box, if you're interested [url= http://www.handle.org/ ]CLICK HERE[/url]

I'm a careworker and a close friend/colleague is working with one of the people I mention above (contact aversion). This boy's mother spoke of how the progress was made, it was quite amazing!
