Doesn't UF CARD know of other resources in the area that they can refer you to????

Robin

I have a 13 year old son who we need assistance with in behavioral issues, as well as assisting with homeschooling. He was taken out of public school 2 years ago and has been home schooled by my wife since.I need assistance with some recent changes in his behavior (hormones of a 13 year old??) and my wife needs help with homeschooling. She does all the work and heeds someone to help her out on an occasional basis.Anyone know of any contacts or people in the area? Yew we have already contacted UF CARD (They are unable to help due to lack of funding), Yes we contacted PSF, and they also have nothing because of lack of funding.Any other ideas or contacts?CW

Dr. Rossignol who is in Melbourne, FL may be able to help with the behavior

issues - http://www.icdrc.org/ - It is worth the drive to go and see him. I

drive from Ft. Laud.

Is the behavior issue due to excess testosterone or another issue? My son who is

28 has had issues since about the age of 12 that we are dealing with. My son

takes niacinamide to reduce testosterone and help with this. We also give him a

saffron capsule daily. He also takes prescribed Stavzor (Depakene) and a

multitude of prescribed vitamin/supplements - " C " , B-12, beta carotene, evening

primrose, etc. (about 14 things in all - some are compounded)

You're wife could probabyl hire a (UF) college student who is studying to be a

special ed. (or related field) teacher to assist her with the teaching duties.

They may even have someone willing to volunteer through the leadership office:

If that is not an option perhaps one of the following can help.

You can call your local schools warehouse and ask if they have open days for

home schoolers to come in and get free materials. In Broward Cnty. we can go

get books, maps, etc.
