There is usually a parents chat group at 9pm , I wonder where everyone is. I'm from the states.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:45:39 PM)
Is this your first time at this web site?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:45:49 PM)
yes

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:46:03 PM)
Do you have a child with capd?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:46:18 PM)
I have 2 children with capd

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:46:37 PM)
how are they doing?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:47:04 PM)
my 8 yr old is doing good but my 13 yr old is not

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:47:27 PM)
he can't read,write,etc.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:47:54 PM)
Has he been treated by a speech ther. or audiologist?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:47:58 PM)
he was just diagnose in july of this year

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:48:14 PM)
This must be really hard for you and him

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:48:39 PM)
he has been with a speech ther.for 10 years

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:48:57 PM)
it is very hard on me and him

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:49:15 PM)
There are people who come to this web site with a lot more resources then me, but I think that all their resources are in the U.S.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:49:43 PM)
Was he diagnosed by an audiologist?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:49:46 PM)
they first diagnose add only to find out he is capd

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:49:49 PM)
yes

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:50:34 PM)
add and capd have a lot of symptoms in common, and only a professional very informed in both areas can really differentiate.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:50:56 PM)
that is true

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:51:53 PM)
do you know of any programs that would help?

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:52:33 PM)
someone just told me about a program called fast forward that is supposed to help kids with reading difficulties. if you are interested go to scientificlearning.com and read about it. It is a program that takes 4-8 weeks and they claim incredible results.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:52:55 PM)
They will also refer you to someone in your area.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:53:44 PM)
the audiologist recommended that program for Kalyn but the school said it was to expensive

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:53:54 PM)
If he can't write, you should probably have him evaluated by an occupational therapist. They deal with fine motor skills and handwriting.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:54:11 PM)
I will try that

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:54:39 PM)
you may want to see if you can have it done privately and pay for it yourself. That is what many people do. it is expensive though.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:55:08 PM)
it is 1500.oo dollars up here for 1 child

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:55:24 PM)
As for the occupational therapy, that should be something that your school district should be able to help you with.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:55:46 PM)
The price is the same here, in american currency.

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:56:06 PM)
Is he in a regular school?

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:56:14 PM)
yes

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:56:24 PM)
mainstream classroom

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:57:32 PM)
I wish I knew of some resources in canada but I don't

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:58:01 PM)
if you happen upon some would you e-mail me

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:58:08 PM)

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:58:20 PM)

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 9:59:43 PM)
you should come back again next tuesday and speak with the person who started this web site, Deb. If anyone knows she would.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 9:59:58 PM)
I will do that

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 10:00:51 PM)
I guess the chat must have been cancelled for tonite. I'm going to look at the home page, and see if it was rescheduled for a different day this week.

lisa (ID=46) (Dec 5, 2000 10:01:14 PM)
would you let me know please

karen (ID=48) (Dec 5, 2000 10:01:42 PM)
