I found a used copy of this book on Amazon. I look forward to reading it.
We live in the mountains of North Carolina, and there is not a really good facility to take him to. Our family doctor (my doctor for over 20 years) has said more than once to use my mother’s intuition. My intuition tells me that the prenatal cocaine exposure (I adopted him) did cause something to develop out of the norm. I did some reading and suspected a vestibular disorder, and found a pediatric OT with over 30 years of experience with this. Our family doctor gladly wrote the prescription for the boy to be evaluated by this woman, and my suspicion was confirmed. I drove two hours each way for that 5 hour evaluation. Whatever else might be going on, that evaluation and further consultation with this “expert” at least started getting his vestibular system on track (though we still have a way to go).
I wish we lived close to Dr. Hallowell, but New York is too far away. Hopefully the book you recommend will help my intuition.
