Hello,once again it has been a few weeks since my last entry on Ortando's Thoughts. Probably the biggest news regarding Ortando & Son and Ortando.com is that a new update of AD/HD/LD information will be posted before the end of June 2010. After the initial creation of the "ortando's Way" information, it has taken a time to "receive the light" again and add something meaningful to the site for AD/HD/LD people.
There will be a discussion about "nuts and bolt tools" for mitigating the potentially negative thoughts and behaviors some "Ortando's" experience. A section on the role of empathy and intuition will be expanded.
Some new information regarding the soon to come DSM 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) edition with changes in definitions and criteria for both AD/HD and LD.
I will also likely comment on the "Response to Treatment" education model as part of comprehensive changes to the Educational (Elementary thru HS) system.
The Ortando Tribal Counsel will likely meet before the end of July here in the Mid Willamette Valley region of Oregon but is dependent on sponsorship (at least for now).
Do have a great summer and remember: Fundamentally (AD/HD/LD) people are alright just the way they are!
