How This Works

I pray that medical answers can be found for these precious little ones. My grandson is considered a mild case.

I will show this in each and every human growth and development and education course I teach at the university level. It is powerful, hopeful, and so very necessary. Thank you.

My daughter was diagnosed with Down Syndrom right after her birth.. She is now 9 and doing great. She´s the moist beloved person in the complete familiy...not because of her handicap, but because of her personality. To quote Lori:She will, of course, always struggle but has made tremendous progress. The best thing that we as parents can do is to keep pushing for the services that our children need and deserve. We have to be those parents that they hate to see coming, because no one will fight for our children like we will. There is nothing more to say, it´s the same even in Germany, where we live. Good Luck Claudia, see the future- it´s yours!.

There is a Ray of Hope for Autism. Autism has been linked to the build up of toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants as contributing factors to children being born with Autism. Studies have found over 250 toxins in the embical cords between a Mothers and their unborn children. 1 in 150 children are born Autistic. Waiora makes Natural Cellular Defense, it safely detoxes the body of toxins, heavy metals, and dangerous pollutants using Zeolites. Autistic children become more social, more attentive, after starting NCD. Go to www.mywaiora.com/699143 for more info on the benefits of NCD.

3/3/08 WE NEED YOUR HELP...CLAUDIA AND THE CHILDREN OF WISCONSIN NEED YOU TO ACT NOW!!!!!!! As you know, we are quite active in pushing to see legislation passed in Wisconsin that would mandate insurance companies to cover treatment and therapies for Autism. Wisconsin does have a state funded program to provide funding, but has over 350 children sitting on the waiting list for services...it will be about 2 years for all of those children who need coverage today. Our last update indicates that Claudia is #357 on the list. In the meantime we are paying out of pocket for ABA therapy for her ($20K for less than 20 hrs) Most families cannot do this for their kids (frankly I don't know how long we can) and their conditions only worsen without intervention. Just this past Tuesday Senate Bill 178 was passed thru the Senate with overwhelming support, but now it must go thru the Assembly which is Republican dominated and resistant. In fact they may not even allow it to come up for vote. We encourage anyone willing to help in this mission to please contact these State Representative and speak up on behalf of these children and tell them to vote yes on Assembly Bill 417. Here is a link to all Assembly Representatives http://www.legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/contact/legislatorslist.aspx?house=assembly Specifically I will list the email addresses of the Representatives who have the power to bring this bill up for vote. Rep.huebsch@legis.wisconsin.gov,Rep.gottlieb@legis.wisconsin.gov, and Rep.fitzgerald@legis.wisconsin.gov PLEASE ACT NOW-TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND THEIR SESSION ENDS IN A LITTLE OVER A WEEK!!! SPEAK UP FOR THESE CHILDREN WHO HAVE NO VOICE!!! THANK YOU!!!

we have a daugter, with epilepsy, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and autistic features, you're right we do get pushed away, our doctor said our daughter had him stumped and left it at that... however, I did get her in a special class room. I hope this video helped you guys, Claudia is absolutely beautiful.

Great way to educate - I had no idea there was an issue with insurance and treatment, much less a two year wait for much needed support (I imagine not only for the child but parents, and siblings as well). Thanks for taking a stand and making your voice heard.
