Trails
Center for Children started with only 1
therapist and during the first month of
operation, we had two clients. After more
than a year, we now have six therapists,
two consultants and a roster of over a hundred
clients. Trails turned out to be a family
of young professionals (I am still considering
myself to be one), who all have one goal
and that is to be part of a team, working
and helping children with difficulties in
reaching their full potential.
The
idea of having a website gave us the inspiration
to reach out to more families. I hope
that through the articles written by our
contributors, some questions will be answered
and pertinent information will be disseminated.
Included in the site are frequently asked
questions, articles written by therapists
and parents as well as write-ups about
the therapists themselves. I have decided
to present the therapists in a magazine-type
of article. I wanted the website visitors
to get to know them better aside from
the usual resume-type of description.
I included their areas of interest and
other skills. I have always believed that
to survive as an allied health professional,
one must have other interests since the
workload is prone to burnout and mental
stress.
The
bulk of the articles written in this issue
is on autism and attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder. We will feature the other developmental
problems in our future articles. I hope
you will enjoy browsing through our website
and we do encourage you to share us your
stories, ideas and comments.
