The Special Needs Forum is intended to be a safe place for families of children with a variety of special needs and issues (both biological children as well as those needs of children coming to their families through adoption.) It is intended to be a place to discuss personal experiences and personal viewpoints about such issues and various courses of treatment.
While certain therapies may be advocated by members of the group, the responsibility of deciding how best to treat a child lies with the child's parents.
Although the groups postings may be authored by persons with credentials or licensure in professional fields, unless specifically noted by such authors, such postings are not intended as therapeutic advice, but as the sharing of personal experiences of parents with children with special needs.
INCIID Inc. does not endorse any postings by its members.
This Special Needs Forum is not intended to take the place of therapeutic advice and families with such issues are urged to seek medical advice before commencing any kind therapy. Children may have unusual or unique reactions to various types of therapies and "one-size-does-not-fit-all" when dealing with these issues.
