Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Simply - a group of Dr.s all over the country focusing on the current childhood epidemics (including apraxia). As with all professionals - there are good and not so good. A good DAN! is active learning, speaking, researching, attending conferences and see only kids with the current childhood epidemics. They hear your concerns, childs' history, test and interpret tests a bit differently than someone who has not been concentrating on the new childhood epidemics. From my experience, you will know when it's time to find a DAN! Dr and you may never choose to hire one. It's all good, and it's wonderful to have choices. > > I usually pass these posts up, but now I'm curious as to what it is. > Thanks! > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I am new at looking into the whole DAN! thing, so maybe others can answer better. DAN stands for Defeat Autism Now! There are DAN's and DAN doctors. A DAN doctor has a medical degree and a regular DAN does not. From what I am learning they usually specialize in treating neurologcally impaired biomedically, especially autistic children. This would be treatments like GFCF diet, they also believe in reducing exposure to toxins, cleansing the body of toxins and supplementing with herbal supps. Thats the gistfrom how I understand so far, but like I said I am new in this area myself. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
