Hi Beth,

  Yes, but I was thinking about the fact they have a line demarcation and no one ventures over - example - Amber got the electrical stim for her right side - it was the best therapy - it reversed the atrophing by encouraging bone and muscle growth and the paralysis - her hand went from totally paralyzed to being able to pick up a couscous- and its the same kind of theing they use on athletes for muscle healing and older people for helping knit bones. Yet with the exception of the people who actually use this - providers have all said ot that's only for older people. I wonder what else could cross over these magic lines and be helpful. Its that in the box thinking.

children respond to certain medications, expectations of cognition and
