AbleChild: Parents for Label and Drug Free Education is a nationally recognized Non-Profit
Organization (501c3) dedicated to parents, caregivers, and children’s rights
alike. Incorporated in New York in November 2003, Ablechild is steadily moving
toward ensuring that all caregivers are provided with a safe haven, resource
center, and support network when faced with issues surrounding subjective
psychiatric labels assigned, and drug “treatment” prescribed, to our nation’s
vulnerable children. (Ablechild.org)
Founded
in 2001 by parents who had their own personal experiences with label and drug
coercion by the education system, Ablechild has a personal commitment to
inform, support, and unite others faced with all aspects involving labeling and
drugging children. Ablechild has a full understanding of what a
parent/caregiver goes through when dealing with school systems recommending,
and many times pressuring a parent for mental health evaluations. We recognize
that schools will many times force-feed mental health approaches on parents,
while steering clear of science-based education resources and solutions.(ablechild.org)
AbleChild,
a national parent’s rights organization, is dedicated to protecting full
informed consent and the right to refuse psychiatric services.(ablechild.org)
I
will follow this group on their blog site. I would like to attend one of their
seminars when they come in my city. I
would like to join this organization in helping parent becoming more aware of
how labeling and giving children medication affected the rest of their lives.
The National Alliance against
Mandated Mental Health Screening & Psychiatric Drugging of Children is a
caring group dedicated to informing the public about ADHD and other Psychiatric
conditions often misdiagnosed because of underlying health conditions and
learning differences which are often overlooked. (National Alliance Health
2001) This group encourages parents and guardian to take advantage of their
website information. (National Alliance Health 2001) I looked up the group in Michigan
and look for job opportunity I could not find any but I can be a parent
advocacy speaking up about children being label with ADHD.
My third organization I liked was
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) this organization uses functional
magnetic resonance image (fMRI)
researchers have identified abnormalities in the brain of children deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). (RSNA 2011) I would love to get to know they because they have
being researching methods to determine it a child have ADHD.
Trecy,
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that you chose Radiological Society of North America because they conduct research related to brain abnormalities and how it relates to ADHD. I think this is a great choice because brain research can significantly contribute to the process of determining if the child has ADHD.
