Panorama of therapeutic modalities for children with special needs

Guillemets gris foncés.png

This work is an attempt to make an international panorama of therapeutic modalities for children with special needs.

 

These are approaches or technologies to help atypical children to learn

by working on the biochemical, sensory, body, motor, emotional, behavioral, cognitive ...

 

This panorama is voluntarily "between science and experience",

its vocation is to aggregate sources:

 

# 1 Modalities already validated by scientific studies

# 2 Modalities experienced with positive feedbacks from many families

(shared experiences of families, not yet assessed by studies)

# 3 Modalities used in specialized centers abroad or latest technologies 

MAIN PREAMBULE

Preamble # 1: this panorama is not intended to promote or condone the following methods

 

Preamble # 2: this panorama should not encourage parents to try all these methods or over-expose their children to too many approaches, let alone without coordination, which could have a damaging effect if the approaches do not go in the same direction for the child

 

Preamble # 3: Our simple goal is to enable families to save time in their information quest, by gathering the research efforts of different parents (it is not a medical or research team work)

 

 

Preamble # 4: it is only a starting point in a work of qualification of these methods

 

 

Preamble # 5: The studies listed are a first step, in order to help parents on their decision

But to date, no study can conclude on the most successful modalities

Sensorimotor approaches

Neuro-modulation technologies

Biochemical or molecular optimization

  1. Functional Medicine

  2. Evaluation of biochemical disorders, inflammations, intoxications, mitochondrial insufficiency, insufficient synthesis of proteins
