O knihe

"This book tells the story of one family.
It's a personal journey as all these journeys are, but it
generously points out a path that others may choose to
follow." -Michael Compain, M.D., Rhinebeck Health Center
When Randy and Deborah Robertson's young daughter, Mary, was
diagnosed with autism in 2005, the initial shock momentarily
immobilized them. But a determination to reclaim their
daughter's life propelled them to make an unusual
decision-to reverse the autism diagnosis. Finding Mary is
the Robertson family's compelling true story of how they
tackled the disease head-on and found remarkable success.
From the initial diagnosis to Mary's incredible recovery
process, Randy Robertson explains how the family explored
treatment options, looked into alternative therapies, and
never gave up hope. Combining the results of his in-depth
research with an easy-to-understand style, Robertson shares
the family's incredible journey by detailing the critical
steps necessary for reducing or completely eliminating many
autistic behaviors. These steps include: . Testing for
autism and coping with the diagnosis . Getting early
intervention . Constructing a support team . Creating an
impactful IEP . Embracing alternative therapies . Forming
academic strategies . Building upon emerging strengths .
Visualizing success With a foreword by noted autism expert
Dr. Michael Compain of the Rhinebeck Health Center, Finding
Mary offers encouragement and support for families
struggling to deal with an autism diagnosis. But it's also
an intimate glimpse into one family's unyielding dedication
to releasing their daughter from the prison of autism.
