This review is from: ...Not Otherwise Specified (Paperback)

The first book I have read to educate myself on PDD. I am now more confused than ever. You get this same information from reading the general descriptions of PDD on the internet.

This review is from: ...Not Otherwise Specified (Paperback)

This thin volume is poorly written, and is designed as a vehicle for the author's one study recommending that children diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder be treated with chiropractic care. Dr. Fallon's chapters on executive function and the sensory experiences of children with Sensory Integration Disorder do not clearly explain either the theoretical understanding nor subjective experience of the disorder. Parents looking for practical help or suggestions for treatment of their children will find little of use here.

This review is from: ...Not Otherwise Specified (Paperback)

Simplistic, poorly written and a complete waste of time. I wish chiropractic were the cure-all for PDD, but it isn't.
