Exercises
for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities Online "Quick Course" for Continuing Education Credits
By
Paul Spicer
Over
the last decade a great deal has occurred affirming community integration
as the option of choice to institutions. Individuals with disabilities
are able to work, live, and care for themselves when provided the
right supports and environment. Caregivers, teachers, and family members
must not overlook the value of recreational involvements as well.
Many healthcare workers and family members are not prepared to adequately
train an individual with a disability in the areas of health, wellness,
and nutrition. This online "Quick Course" introduces its
audience to the terminology, characteristics, and the ability of people
with developmental disabilities to stretch out and reach their full
potential. Readers will see that exercise is truly for everyone! The
"Quick Course" may be read online or printed for later reference.
In addition, readers will be given the opportunity to take a quiz
at the end of the course, which will count towards continuing education
credits approved by over thirty professional associations. The
innovative online course is a quick and easy introduction to the field
of health and wellness among individuals with disabilities.

The
Natural Medicine Guide to Autism
By Stephanie Marohn
Strikingly, the rate of autism has risen by
as much as 1000% in the last 15 years. Incidence rates now average
as high as 1 in 150 in some areas. As grim as the statistics may be,
The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism explores and gives evidence for
effective new practices that transcend traditional medicine.
Environmental factors, such as vaccine overload, heavy exposure to
mercury, and nutritional deficiencies are carefully scrutinized, as
are effective therapy and manners in which it is entirely possible
to remove triggers from the natural environment to improve symptoms
of autism. $15.95
Getting
Rid of Ritalin
By Robert Hill, Ph.D. and Eduardo Castor, M.D.
No
one can argue that Ritalin is sometimes effective for the over four
million children taking the medication for attention deficit disorder
(ADD), or hyperactivity. However, its undesirable side effects are
often noted and the underlying cause of ADD is rarely addressed. Getting
Rid of Ritalin takes an innovative and scientific look at the
use of neurofeedback to teach patients to control their own brain
activity instead of relying on Ritalin. Psychiatrist Eduardo Castro
and psychologist Robert Hill masterfully detail their modality that
has helped treat ADD, with 80% effectiveness, among children and adults.
