I'm not sure that I am th...Longwinded is fine!<br /><br />I'm not sure that I am the best one to answer your question about the differences betwen the different organizations. I think many of the general principles are similar, as well as many of the activities. As far as differences, I know that their assessment schedules can differ as well as fees, & I think the length of the programs as well, but again, I'm sure there are others much more qualified to answer this question.<br /><br />I think a lot of the reason for not sharing is, as you said, that not every activity is right for every child, & I think sometimes the wrong activity can be detrimental. I understand why you would wonder about a profit motive, although if you consider the amount of time they spend in evaluating & follow up support, it is actually a lot less expensive than traditional therapies.<br /><br />Perhaps these questions could be asked of these organizations directly? If you get a better answer, I'd love to know about it.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770519849147434962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378948947098078935.post-8686856397056580392011-05-16T01:39:41.936-07:002011-05-16T01:39:41.936-07:00Can I ask a couple of questions?

Obviously, the Christian identity of ICAN is differnt that the other two but otherwise? I know that IAHP and NACD both involve Domans (and by the bios IAHP is the older) and was struck by how the NACD site makes no reference whatsoever to IAHP. I'm not sure if any Doman is related with ICAN. <br /><br />The other question is why the reason for secrecy about activities (aside from the obvious caveat that not every activity is right for every child)? I am reading the Doman books right now (obviously these share about ND activities) but have seen more than one blog post by an ND using family saying they cannot share that they do. I have a lot of respect for the ND approach but without knowing a good reason behind the secrecy it makes me suspect a profit motive and, quite frankly, makes me think less of these organizations.Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265301039878139342noreply@blogger.com
