Dear Kim

Here is a link to the last page of the 1271 messages in the archive

which contain " NACD " in the body of the text written AFTER May 1, 2007

/msearch?MT=nacd & MM=cont\

ains & date=after & DY=2007 & DM=4 & DD=1 & pos=1270 & cnt=10

In case the link wraps or breaks, here's a TinyURL for it

I believe it is worth the time to read ALL of the exchange of

information in these posts, whether it be the " main post " or people

asking questions and receiving quite articulate, sincere and accurate

explanations from the parents pre-researched as you want to do and whose

children ARE actively using the NACD (or INPP or IAHP)

neurodevelopmental rehab therapies. There is no substite for hearing

direct, first-hand experience about any and all treatments which we

consider for our children...good and/or bad. There have been three

moms of late who have made the time to share their experiences,

including ideas for similar exercises for anyone to do at home, and

respond to everyone's questions about more more details and results

obtained doing the therapies - they are Janice , Bigcheech and Liz

(aka ilizzy) - Liz has her first appt with NACD right after Easter

but has researched them quite a bit...the other two are moms actively

involved in doing the NACD programs, as I also have been for 3+ years

now (though we don't do the therapies via NACD organization) and several

other less-high-volume message writer moms who ARE doing NACD.

Here are a few of my messages regarding Dyspraxia and Neurodevelopmental

evaluations and treatments...which my two sons have been doing for 3+

years (just not via NACD which is a U.S. based non-profit

organization)...the therapies themselves are generically called

" neurological organization " .

An evaluation by a neurodevelopmental therapist or neurodevelopmental

physician may help identify better which brain reflex and functions are

not working at their maximum or which are immature....places like NACD

and IAHP which have been referred to in recent messages here may be good

starting point for a more global neurological evaluation. Many of them

also utilize an awake EEG - similar to neurofeedback to monitor how the

brain works doing certain activities while the person is awake.

Below is a website in the UK talking more about Dyspraxia and

Neuro-Developmental evaluations and treatments (similar to NACD, INPP,

IAHP that we've talked about recently). They explain in simple terms

what each of the components and therapies are - very informative.

http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WTS_Dyspraxia.htm

A quick excerpt from their home page:

" An underlying cause of dyspraxia is often an unpractised and immature

vestibular system

<http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WBI_Balance.htm> (the balance

mechanism located in the inner ear). It mediates other systems in the

body including proprioception

<http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WBI_Proprioception.htm> (our

ability to know where our body is in space) and binocularity

<http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WBI_Vision.htm> (our eyes

working together as a team). Imbalances in these or other

sensory systems

<http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WBI_The_Senses.htm>, or the

retention of reflexes

<http://www.thesoundlearningcentre.co.uk/WBI_Reflexes.htm> (automatic

reactions), may all be implicated in dyspraxia. "
