Re: OT: Intro to Verbal Behavior by Dr. Carbone in Raleigh,NC April 28 - 30, 2006

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It is wonderful to hear from you.

If you don't mind my asking, would you say that you

attribute Kenny's speech to VB, rather than chelation?

I ask because I'm concerned that I/we/files not misrepresent

your results on this.

Hope you (you, Kenny, school) are all well.

good wishes,

Moria

Hi Moria,

I believe it was BOTH the chelation and the Verbal Behavior

techniques that got him speaking.

Without the chelation, his oral motor skills wouldn't have improved,

but without the verbal behavior, he wouldn't be talking.

I definitely believe that you must treat the WHOLE child, not just

look at one aspect.

HTH clear up any misunderstandings!
