Beth, I work with AT in different settings. Not so sure about the parents fearing their kids will end up like me because of all the parents I've worked with as co-workers, their children have been grown. All the kids had quite involved mental and physical disabilities and were still being cared for by their parents. I live independently and have an advanced degree. So, the fear thing doesn't make sense to me in this case. The parents of young kids who were my clients seemed to put me on a pedestal and say if you can do it, my child can too. Not as offensive, but still odd because their children's disabilities were not like mine at all - entirely different disabilities in most cases. Just curious what you think are the sham treatments for cp.
