I never realized how important the subject of inclusion is for special-needs children until I had to fight to get my daughter, Jaimie, into public school. Parents need to understand what inclusion is, what is involved in the process, and what to do if you want to set your child up for success in a [...]

		<description><![CDATA[
When my daughter Jaimie was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) almost four years ago, we tried different therapies and treatments to find what worked best for her. Drug therapy on a toddler wasn’t something we considered&#8211;instead, we turned to holistic, natural therapies. The most important of these was a “brain-friendly” diet.
Feeding the Brain
Because SPD [...]

Living in sin. Shacking up. Getting the milk for free.

My daughter, Jaimie, was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) when she was only two-and-a-half. Jaimie still wasn’t talking [...]
