My story, our story, starts with complications and regression do to my son's 13 month vaccine. He got the HIB vaccine and we lost him. This is more than just autism. I wish that it was only autism but he didn't develope the antibodies - he got the disease HIB (haemophilus influenza). The only problem was - it would take us another three years to get that diagnosis. Most doctors felt that I was a mother that couldn't handle the autism diagnosis - I needed a medical reason why this was happening to my son. At the end, all I got was "You were right." 
This is what vaccine regression looks like. The CDC doesn't know about Graham and countless others. I have the diagnosis - of polysacchride ab deficient. He has no immune system due to the length of the infection and receives subcu infusions every week. This isn't about the vaccines = it's about trauma and recovery. The trauma from vaccine reaction can be so severe to a child's central nervous system that without intervention can lead to a diagnosis of autism and developmental delay. 
He was two years old when Dr. Schenkein, pediatric gastroenterology, suggested that we go to California to the Anat Baniel Method (ABM) Center in Marin County. We were at Anat's new clinic on the day that the doors opened. Before going, his physical therapist told me that he's walking but shouldn't be. His body is not capable but he's doing it. Within two days of , he was walking heal to toe with his dad and he said to me, "I don't know what they are doing in there but you are going to learn how to do this." That's when my life changed.
It's been almost five years since that May. I have a wonderful clinic in Peoria, Arizona called Movement Lesson. My clients are babies - the biggest is 97! I wanted to concentrate on children with special needs. I quickly recognized that we all have special needs.

This is a picture of him was taken after 10 ABM lessons in five days.
When I started my training, his speech goal was a one word self-help at the age of four "Mom, open, please." He was going to the Foundation for the Blind for PreSchool. He's now 7 and mainstreamed with resource for reading and writing comprehession. He gets 100% on all of his work and loves studing the Periodic Table, karate and Cub Scouts. He and his brother come to my clinic every week for their lesson.

I wanted to concentrate on children with special needs. I quickly recognized that we all have special needs.I use my personal experience with my professional training to help children avoid the same route Graham has taken. I continue to discover how our systems, so fantastic and complex, can be shown and new and more efficient way to move. I'm using this blog to grasp all these thoughts on paper.
I'm and expert on movement and pain, not at writing. I can't do this any other way than to Blog. To begin to formulate all that I'm learning and bring it to a form where I can articulate it.
I will be blogging about my clients to bring an awareness that children and adults with special needs, people recovering to trauma, neuropathies, strokes, etc can be helped by a Movement Lesson.
Bring me your questions and I'll try to answer them the best way that I know how.
