In recognition of the fact that many families cannot travel vast distances in order to obtain treatment for their child, whether due to practical constraints, financial constraints, or other reasons, we are now offering 'distance advice.' Parents write or send an email to us briefly outlining their child's condition. We then ask them to fill out a detailed developmental questionnaire. When we have analysed the questionnaire and asked any supplemental questions we may have, we then devise a programme of developmental activities based upon the information we have gathered. It is stressed that it is then the responsibility of the parents to allow the child's doctor to see the programme so that he may suggest amendments in light of any medical problems the child may have. We find this system works quite well. I remember as a parent, the vast amounts of money I spent on travel and accommodation expenses to get Daniel to clinics both in the UK and internationally.
