Introduction: 3 weeks, 1 day ago · View
Ive always known my child is very smart. He is a warehouse of knowledge. He is a great problem solver and understands lots of things way beyond his age level. However when it comes to school he is behind and just seems to have given up on him self. I am not sure if he [...]

Learning is the natural state/process of a child and anything with interferes with that learning is something we need to clear up. Medications for children with most Developmental Disorders are designed to stop the child’s symptoms. But, they do not address the basic problem: the child’s developmental process is stuck and needs to be re-engaged. [...]

It sounds like you are asking about what is needed to get an easily distracted child back on track. For most children with developmental problems, memory problems are simply too much distraction. These distractions don’t let the child return to a earlier train-of-thought and keeps the child from remembering.
Generally these distractions are either internally generated or are caused by hypersensitivity. In both cases they are simply evidence (symptoms) of the blocked developmental process. For almost all of these children, these symptoms disappear when the child gets back on track.
There are two parts to the equation.
The first is to stop the child’s immune system reaction to environmental factors. These reactions are holding the child’s developmental process hostage. After the child’s environment has been ”cleaned up” the developmental process re-engages and tries to get back on track.
The stimuli needed for a child to actually get back on track are usually not available to a child in our modern environment. But they can be provided when you understand what is needed. If the child’s environment stays ”clean” and the child receives the needed stimuli, the child will catch up and those symptoms (memory problems) will almost always disappear.

As I read the article the one thing that it brought to my mind is all of the times that I was told that I should put my children on medication. My reply was “So your telling me that medication is going to make them perfect students?” I have always known that meds weren’t the [...]

Admin posted on the forum topic Article: Why no cure? in the group
Bill, thanks for this great comment. I’ve been considering this concept and maybe it’s time for me to write about it. I’ll try to get an article posted about this in the next few weeks (I’m really busy with a different project right now). ====================== Here is the short answer: Developmental Disorders all have that [...]

Bill posted on the forum topic Article: Why no cure? in the group
It’s not just that the concern is expressed in the present tense and extrapolated into the future, it’s also that the word “development” can imply early childhood, which may be long past for the person in question.
The concern is (for some, anyway) that if they didn’t develop properly back then, they certainly can’t now.

Fish Are Shaped Like Boats 1 year, 3 months ago · View
“Fish are shaped like boats.” This is what my 4th grade teacher told our class. Right away, I understood that this was not a useful piece of information. Obviously, boats are shaped like fish. Dinosaurs I also remember that my 7th grade teacher was talking about dinosaurs as if they were somehow inferior, because they could not [...]

Keith: Our site is named, “Back On Track.” I chose that name instead of something like, “Continuing With ADHD” or some other name which indicates that the developmental problem continues and the person continues needing support. I wanted a name which indicated that the problem stops and does not continue. I had hoped that “Back On [...]

Mr. Bailey, I appreciate the lengthy time and content to your email. And if my points were less clear to you and or off target given the mission of this group, perhaps I can clarify a few of them at this point. As well, I truly don’t remember seeing such detail about what the group [...]

Keith: I know that your ideas are a very responsible representation of the current “scientific” paradigm about ADHD. But, we are offering a new kind of paradigm here on this site. On this site we are not writing about “managing” or “thriving with” ADHD. We don’t offer a “world of difference” for those who will [...]

Keith Kosierowski started the forum topic How do you find effective ADHD professionals in the community? in the group
Through years of working with families impacted by ADHD, I’ve seen large disparities between the philosophies and treatments of professionals supporting the ADHD community. HAVE friends and or colleagues shared their diverse experiences with medical and psychological supports in the community? ADHD and its related challenges are treatable and can at times be completely managed [...]

Developmental Disorders are misunderstood by the majority of research and treatment professionals. That’s the reason there is an epidemic of these disorders in the modern world. It is a shame that 1 out of 6 children have one (or more) of these preventable disorders. When you subscribe to our newsletter, you receive a mini-course which [...]

About An Alternative ADHD Treatment An Alternative ADHD Treatment? Because there is no “cure” there can be no effective “treatments” for ADHD.If there was a cure, then effective treatments would be available. Developmental Disorders are conditions caused because the child’s developmental process is blocked. An effective alternative ADHD treatment would be focused on re-engaging the child’s blocked [...] -

I’ll be covering Sensitivities and Intolerances. But, I will not be discussing it from a “nutrition” frame of reference. I think you will find the recording very informative.
