Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Hi Tatyana, The information is at http://www.apraxia.org/indexoverview.html It's wonderful that so many are getting together: it would have been even better if they included some pediatric neuroscientists and neurodevelopmental doctors as well. The Apraxia Kids conference is not open to parents either. When CHERAB hosted the First Apraxia Conference speech professionals on the board for Apraxia Kids were invited and declined attending. All of us from CHERAB believe it best for everyone to put aside personal opinion and come together with open minds. Going ahead I'm sure that will be done. I have already spoken to a few of the speech PhD presenters at the Apraxia Kids conference about that, as well as a University Hospital we may be working with. Anything that CHERAB hosts will be open to all professionals, organizations, and parents out there that can help our children. I know the University Hospital I just met with strongly respects the input of the parents, the neuromedical research doctors take the input from the parents seriously. As Sallie Bernard told me, bringing researchers together with parents is the new trend in research. When it comes to our children, time is precious and the sooner all opinions and ideas come together from all sides, medical, speech, educational, and parents, the sooner we may reach conclusions that may really help, vs. more separation. If doctors have one belief and speech professionals have another where does that leave our children? Well I guess everything starts somewhere. My belief is that when you come to a wall you look for a door. If there is none - why bother knocking down the wall when you can just as easily go over it or around it?! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
