SCD in Australia

[Guest guest]

For any of you SCDers...especially who are using it for your children...I wanted

to let you know about something going on here in the US where I live. On

Friday, there was a team of occupational therapists visiting at my son's

occupational therapy clinic. The clinic that we use specializes in sensory

therapy, and primarily treats kids on the autism spectrum of varying degrees

whether it be ADD, ADHD, Asbergers, PDD, autism, and the like. This team will

be here for a month. They will return to Australia, and then come back in

November for a month. They return home, and come back one other time in

January. They are all here to learn how to help these children. Our clinic

here provides occupational, physical, and speech therapy. They are most known

for the occupational and speech. I'm not sure if any of the team are therapists

of speech or physicial therapy. Anyway, the lady who was shadowing my son's

therapist was very interested in learning about SCD. She said that Australia is

just starting down the road of biomedical intervention, dietariay intervention,

ect. in helping our children recover. She asked me the name of the book, if the

diet was hard to understand/implement, ect. I gave her a brief explanation, and

I am planning to buy a copy of the book for her to read and take home. Are

there members of pecan bread living in Australia who would be willing to hook up

with her via email or something once she returns home to help her understand SCD

better, or be an SCD Pal for any parents that she encourages to move to an SCD

lifestyle for their child? I will ask her the name of the town that she lives

in. I do know that she said it is inland from Sidney about six hours, is a

farming area, and the town begins with a D. I know that probably doesn't tell

you anything, but I might recognize the name if I heard it again. Again, I will

ask her where she is from, if all of the therapists on the team are from the

same place, and would gladly give her someone's contact info or get hers for

someone if anyone is interesting in helping move SCD along in Australia. Just

let me know.
