Angel's Purse,
Inc.
Salutations,
The chart
below shows the
results from our pilot study of Sensory Learning and it's effectiveness
as an
intervention for children with disabilities. We have included children
with
autism, attention deficit/hyperactive disorder, learning disabilities,
dyslexia
and Asperger's in this study. As you can see from the chart below
nearly all
the children showed a reduction in symptoms as graded by their parent
using the
one page evaluation form designed by the Autism Research Institute's
founder,
Bernard Rimland, PhD.
We are extremely pleased to
report that we have additional facilitators of this method of sensory
retraining in other parts of the country who are eager to join in our
study and
will be using the same method of gathering data to add to our pool of
results.
We hope to expand that number of data collectors to substantiate our
results.
It is our
belief that by
documenting the efficacy of the therapy we can make a lasting
contribution to
the children who will be receiving therapies in the future. If you've
been
watching you'll have noticed that the number of children needing these
services
is rising at an alarming rate. The schools are being overwhelmed and so
are the
parents. Therapies that can help are at a premium and not everyone can
afford
them.
Here is where
we come into the
picture. Our mission is to provide practical assistance to the families
of
children with autism and other pervasive developmental delays. That
means gifts
of nutritional supplements and access to our lending library of videos
from
conferences and books about how to help recover their children. It
means coming
down to our place for the twelve days of Sensory Learning and
consulting with
another parent who has been down the same path. It also means the gift
of
information translated into Spanish, which has proved to be one of our
most
helpful programs. We have managed to keep this volunteer organization
operating
by the grace of God, and because of your generous donations during
these past
five years.
We are
dangerously close to
faltering due to a lack of donations this year, though. So I am writing
to ask
you to give again, please. This work must be continued. The children in
the
autism spectrum that we serve desperately need the services we provide
and will
not receive them otherwise.
Angel's Purse
is keeping a
large
number of kids from falling through the cracks, we cannot afford to
fail. I
need your financial support to continue this vital work. Your donations
are
tax-deductible and so very gratefully accepted.
I wish I
could say that this
problem will go away given time, but it is actually a growing problem
at this
point. Other organizations are spending gazillions on research to find
the
causes. We are in the trenches supporting the parents as they scramble
to find
ways to help recover their children.
Be an angel today and send a check to Angel's Purse, Inc. and I will see to it that these children continue to receive the help they need.
My love to
you,
Jenny Culver
