I think that Maps 1 is good and anything on the seratonin and dopamine.

This is a FASCINATING therapy for neuro-regeneration. I have been watching these videos all weekend, talking to Dana Gorman about this therapy. Her son is making some fabulous improvements doing MAPS. It's something to keep on your radar. http://web.mac.com/thriiive/THRiiiVERS/Claudie_Gordon-Pomares.html

I specifically want to know...

1. Did you take your kids off of other therapies during this time. (speech, ot, etc.)

2. What types of improvements did you see and can fully attribute to MAPS?

Thanks Bernie so much for your willingness to share.

I started MAPS with my son, , in March of 2006. At that time he

was 3.5 years old. We did a 6 month MAPS program and WE STOPPED ALL

THERAPY. Prior to MAPS he was in an intensive ABA program (30-35

hours a week), and he also had speech and OT. was moderately

affected when he was diagnosed at 25 months old. He did respond well

to his ABA program and biomed interventions which we also started at

26 months old.

I lent my MAPS binder to another mom so this is based on what I remember:

When started MAPS he could talk but his speech was not

spontaneous. He could answer many of the questions he had learned in

his ABA program and had a huge vocabulary but he did not converse and

did not ask questions. Within a month of starting MAPS he started

asking questions. Our goals in MAPS were to cut back on tantrums ( he

was having 5-6 per day), to play with other children ( he still only

played by himself), to have a conversation and to sleep through the

night. did meet most of his goals by the end of the 6 month

period. He was having a few tantrums per week, he played with his

sisters and became interested in other kids, he would ask questions

and have a short conversation. I did not stop biomed interventions

while doing MAPS so it is hard to say 100% what lead to the improvement.

At the end of the first 6 month period I would have continued with

another 6 month session but Claudie thought it would be best to start

focusing on my youngest child, . She was almost 2 and had

severe digestive issues. She had chronic loose BM, reflux, no

language, and sensory issues. She had always been GF/CF and she also

had been SCD for 6 months. During s 6 months on MAPS she went

from no language to a child with age appropriate language. Her

digestive issues improved noticably. I also started the LOD diet with

her during this time and after 6 months of MAPS she could eat some

medium oxalate foods.

While we were focusing on with MAPS, did a maintenance

program of MAPS and had no regression. Claudie will only do a MAPS

program for one child in a family at a time. While was on his

maintenance program we did 6 months of RDI and started Dr. Yasko's

protocol and by the time he was 4.5 he could pass for an NT child some

of the time.

I am considering doing 6 more months of MAPS with each child in the

future but we are out of $. MAPS was perfect for us because I was

looking for a way that I could work with my kids at home and stop the

therapy life. I learned a lot of things that I still use daily, most

importantly how to keep my home peaceful and reduce a lot of stress

for my kids and myself. Claudie truly respects each child and she

believes that a child can improve at any age. This helped me a lot

because I know I can do MAPS again with my kids and I don't feel the

huge pressure to have them 100% well by age 5.

Hope this helps. I'm happy to answer any other questions or clarify if

this was unclear.
