My wife is a retired RN. This book was recommended by my neice who used it for her graduate work. My wife is amazed by the research and information in this book. She has been telling all her family what is in the book and is mad the government keeps going after the authors. She loves this book and says it should be a must read. See what our government is forcing on our babies.

Our son has PDD, primarily Speech delay, and we were looking for something that would advise us as to what would be beneficial for him, past his 5 days a week of school, 3 days a week of Speech therapy, and two days of Occupational Therapy. Realise it is early, and That we have not been able to follow the reccomendations of this book for and extensive period of time, so heres hoping that the reccomendations the book makes works for our son. We can tell you the following. Given the reccomendations, we have seen for this book, and how it is written, its very interesting reading and easy to understand for parents like us who are struggling and just searching for some help for our child. We have optimism since reading this book, and actually feel as if some of the suggestions it makes will make a positive outcome for our son, along with some hard work and dedication.
