criteria for a profession are extensive college required, also person's work autonomous. Separate body of knowledge required for work. Think of lawyers. Extensive college, they work independently, i.e. they don't have supervisors, editors, etc., and law has its own body of knowledge. Even nursing is on the edge as far as being a profession, not quite autonomous enough. MT certainly doesn't fit the definition of profession.

when your child needs them. In the summer, she doesn't need them. However, she is obviously not able to function in school on her own now, so she needs them. Having an aide to keep poking her and refocusing her is not going to get the information through the distraction so she can learn. And the concentration demand is only going to go up. 

So what is it that you expect the school to do for her? Are you going to ask that they provide an aide just for her?

And good Lord, do you know that ADHD meds are the safest meds out there for kids. People think they are some kind of wicked additives, when all they are made of is stimulants. Like you and your coffee every morning. You see far scarier side effects with amoxicillin than you do with Ritalin. Yet the almighty media has parents scared silly of DRUGGING YOUR KID.

"I definitely have made tons of money in my own business.  Sounds like low self-esteem on the posters below, unhappy, depressed."

Well, lots of people make "tons of money in their own business," i.e. hookers  and drug dealers - doesn't mean it's a profession. A profession is done by professionals - think law, medicine, teaching. MT is just a job. That being said, I'm still far from unhappy and depressed! LOL but it's still just a job. The body of knowledge to do MT is so far from what is considered a body of knowledge (again think law) it's not even in the running. Even a checker at Jewel has a specific body of knowledge. It's the comparison that counts, not the existence. Many people are uninformed about what profession actually means. Do some research, you'll see what I mean.

Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:

1)  Memphis, Tennessee

2)  St. Louis, Missouri

3)  Kansas City, Missouri

4)  Atlanta, Georgia

5)  Dallas, Texas

Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?

not a good idea.  What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away?  If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.

IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do!  And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable. 

Through friends/family?  At school?  Met each other at the grocery store when you reached for the same loaf of bread at the same time?    Through an internet dating site?  

you guessed my name  . . .

Hi all,

There is a group of us planning to meet in the chat room at 7:00 EST tonight.  All are welcome.
