  • #303 - You Should Be Skeptical if Someone Says They Will "Cure" Your Child's Neurological Diagnosis
    Apr 10 2024

    April is OT Month and we’re celebrating with a HUGE sale on our digital courses!

    If you’re an occupational therapy practitioner, you can earn your CE with our courses that are approved through AOTA!

    Check out the SALE here - https://harkla.co/pages/ot-month-sale

    Sale ends April 14, 2024 at midnight!

    We received a message in IG asking about Brain Balance and how their company claims to “cure” ADHD.

    We thought this was interesting, so we wanted to talk about it!

    There are many things that we don’t say we’re “curing” because it’s not something like a cold, or a broken bone.

    Often the challenges or diagnoses we work with are biological or neurological and lifelong. There aren’t ‘cures.'

    When a person or company tells a parent they’re going to ‘cure’ certain things, that should cause skepticism, especially in our line of work!

    As occupational therapy assistants, our goal is to help our clients live their life as fully and as independently as possible. We provide modifications or adaptations to their current lifestyle and work on underlying skills to help improve their daily functioning.

    Tune in for the full conversation!
