I am constantly on the lookout for new information on ADHD, SPD, ADD and Dyspraxia. So far Connor has SPD and Dyspraxia (which is a form of SPD) but I know that in two years when Connor is in first grade the teachers are going to start in on us about medicating him. He's a difficult kid. But I'm not concerned nearly as much about how it inconveniences his teachers as I am about what an inconvenience it is for him. I am hell bent and determined, that by the time he gets to first grade, we have this thing licked or rather - managed. We've been working really hard to practice his letters each night and tomorrow we are starting gymnastics to help with the postural issues. Attention focusing is still difficult. We aren't eating apples for allergy testing and are using a Homeopathic A+ Attention remedy that seems to not be working at all. Tonight when I was researching, (I should totally have a PhD in Google Research) I found this study. This study focuses on deficiencies of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) in children with various conditions including, Dyspraxia, ADHD and Dyslexia. I've added it to my collection.
I think that the rise of disorders like ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia is more than about a population increase. Especially ADHD, which has risen so high that we must be looking at an environmental factor or a dominate gene. So, if you know someone that has or has children with any of these conditions it might be worth sending them this study. I'll be sure to post any results from any experimentation we undergo.

Janice: I'm going to try to check with some of my EC folks at the office and see if there are somethings they can recommend as far as schooling. I'm sure if he qualified there are helps for him and they don't necessarily have to be part of an EC plan.
