The First Steps in Helping Your Special Needs Child
Today we are going to talk about getting started on a program to support your child with special needs and your family towards gaining new abilities that they have not yet acquired. If you have a child at home with special needs, how do you create an environment where, on purpose, every day you are implementing actions that will create change over weeks, over months and even over years?
Over the last 25 years of helping kids and families the special-needs, what we have looked at this as an ongoing process - a marathon. The process starts by helping the family to understand that there are certain principles that if we put into place, can create some excellent changes on purpose as opposed by accident. It’s important to understand where you are and where you're going within this marathon.
So, we put together some ideas and thoughts culled from over 25 years of helping children and families on how to get started on the program, really some “do’s and don’ts” for families just beginning to you tackle this problem. The child is not doing well; he needs some help in his mobility, he needs help in his social development. How do we do that, and make sure all the family members all heading in the right direction.
First, we encourage parents who initially learn that their child needs help, and are looking for ways to help the child, to go to our web site, http://www.familyhopecenter.org/ . On this site, folks will get an understanding of what we do, and why we do it, as professionals, the type of team we have we have - a very comprehensive team that works together to support families. This team includes a doctor, a nutritionalist, experts in the field of hyperbarics, physical development, social development and respiratory development.
We encourage you to learn who we are and what we do, and how our approach differs quite differently than the approach that most conventional therapist use to help kids, kids with neurological problems, kids with special-needs, whether that is a special-needs child, who is just out of a coma, or who has been labeled with cerebral palsy, autism or ADHD. Our objective is to have you sit down and take time to go through the testimonies of our families; the stories of the mommies and the dads, and how their children changed from where they were to where there are now they are now in terms of their development.
The second thing that we would like families to do is to call us on the telephone. After they have gone to the site and read through it, we are sure that they will have lots and lots of questions. Talk to our staff, we want to hear your story. We want to reach out to you and help you. Whether you ever make a visit to The Family Hope Center is really up to you.
On this weekly blog, I’ll continue to outline the steps for a program to help your child with special needs. Please, please forward this blog or our web address to any family member, friend, neighbor or associate that has a child who is struggling with brain injuries and don’t know if they truly are receiving the right treatment.
