| Introduction | I have 'spearheaded' the movement for a safe and lasting recovery for my son. I have learned specialized techniques to address behavior from an unstabilized individual who suffers from a severe brain disorder in order to keep him home until more in-depth treatment could be found. I obtained information from organizations as well as informed myself through reading books and newsletters. It takes work, but it can be done. It also takes a team effort from our family and the right professionals. And everytime I see my son smile, give love to his dog and other family members, or just jokes around, I am rewarded daily! We have our son back. |
