3. Understand what will trigger a request that your elder move out, and how appeal process works. Not all behaviors or medical conditions can be managed in an assisted living setting. Many families feeling desperate for help don't know that they may be able to avoid making a rushed selection. Many assisted living residences will permit a prospective resident to "try out" facility for a week or two without a long-term contract. This is a perfect opportunity for an elder to receive needed care while family takes time they need to make right decision. © 2005 Molly Shomer.

It is my belief that individuals with ADHD are gifted. They have ability to multitask and often get bored doing one thing at a time. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which learning does not complement this type of mind. Instead of changing way these special people think, hypnosis can teach them to use their innate gifts and to function in western world. There are many books available that provide teachers, parents and individuals with different techniques that can assist with treatment of ADHD. Two books that I would recommend, "The Indigo Child" and "Left Brained Children in a Right Brained World." These books can help people to better understand how those affected with ADHD can fit more comfortably into today's society. Kim R. Zapf MHt Posted by http://www.iwanttoquitsmoking.com/children.html
