Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I second this!!! Sue [ ] Group List Guidelines I am sure you have all seen this page when you became a member or even reading through the link section. There is one goal in mind when people join this list--it is to learn how to help their child become verbal and to communicate with other parents going through the same situation. I don't know about all of you, but where I live there aren't many apraxic children. I have learned many things on this list that has helped me help my child. This group isn't censored and it would be a real shame if it needed to be to stop all the ugliness that has been going on lately. Use email if you can't bite your tongue! I don't know if any of you have noticed either, but on a regular basis there are at least 20 new members--again why did they come to this group? To help their children find their voice!!! Tina Description of Childrensapraxianet group The Cherab Foundation is a world-wide nonprofit organization working to improve the communication skills and education of all children with speech and language delays and disorders. While we outreach to any " late talker " our area of emphasis is verbal and oral apraxia, severe neurologically- based speech and language disorders that hinder children's ability to speak. The Foundation is committed to assisting with the development of new therapeutic approaches, preventions and cures to neurologically- based speech disorders. We bring together parents and medical, research, and educational professionals. Please join us and help to give our children a smile and a voice. Group List Guidelines Hello everyone!!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Below my post please find a message from the links section under Group List Guidelines. It was posted by khalidsvision for the group moderators. In light of some of the recent posts I think it is important to remind members that this is a list for everyone who is affected by a child with apraxia, no matter if we all go in different directions with the interventions we choose. It is not a censored list but due to the high volume we ask that you do not post private comments to each other, please use email. It is overwhelming to try to make it through all the posts that appear from the subject heading to be related to one thing but upon reading them they are either not about that subject (a spin off) or are private messages. One last thing PLEASE delete the older posts below your message before sending. People can easily find the older post if they need to. May you all find joy in your life today and share that with the children that bring you here. Sincerely, McCann Group Moderator ******************************************** Hello everyone!! We, the CHERAB list serve moderators would like to say how excited we are that we have such incredible people, parents and professionals alike, willing to educate and support one another 24/7. Our online group here, which is made up of all of us from all over the world, is WONDERFUL!! Many of us have met through this group and have become friends both " e " friends and real life friends, for this reason, we are sending out the following message. Our list prides itself on our liberal posting policies. We do not, disallow postings based on the personal opinions or biases of the moderators. The free exchange of information, allows each poster to express their own personal opinions, and moderating when there are delicate subjects and situations broached. Disagreements are asked to be handled in a respectful manner. No personal attacks please. Because CHERAB believes everyone has a voice: we want to be sure you are all heard. Our list is growing on a daily basis, and the e-mails are increasing over time. We are all doing a great job in helping and supporting and providing information to each other - here is just a tip to keep things running smoothly. We would like to suggest that messages for those that are meant for " only " the person you are sending it to, be sent privately instead. Most of you do not see these messages like since we take the time to pass them on to the person they are meant for, but this is getting to be timely as our list continues to grow. Here is an example of such a message (names made up of course) " Patty, I'll meet you tomorrow at the park at 2:00! Bonnie " If the message is something you feel would help others as well, or you have a question in the midst of the message, please continue to send that type of message to our " group " . Here is an example of such a message which is tweaked from above (names and location made up of course) Patty, I'm from Roselle Park NJ, and I think it will be great if we can meet at the park tomorrow, and perhaps other may want to join us as well! If you or anyone else from the area is interested email me back privately at Bonnie@... if you want to meet at the Echo Lake Park in the playground area at 2:00 tomorrow, June 7th and we can exchange phone numbers and details! Bonnie " To respond privately: click on reply, then copy the person's email and replace the list address and paste in the personal email address you just copied. As always, if you get the message in digest you may want to also delete off the other 20 or so messages and only leave the one you are replying to in private -and change the subject if it says Digest __ to what the subject is. If you are sending out your email address to the group and want those that only read messages from the web to be able to have your email address too (for security reasons online only the first half of the email shows.) -here is a trick: Write your email address both ways like this Bonnie@... or Bonnie at ie.com. Thank you all again - you are making this world a place where Children are seen...AND heard!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
