The Nutrition in Rehabilitation

Authors(s): Hojjat Allah Haghgoo

Year: 2017

The relationship between metabolic problems and inadequate nutrition with many physical and psychological disorders is well established. This book aims to explain certain behavioral issues related to metabolic dysfunction and to improve the nutritional behaviors of patients who seek rehabilitation services due to psychological, behavioral, or learning difficulties. In many cases, providing rehabilitation services without considering the individual’s diet makes achieving desirable outcomes extremely slow or even impossible. The book examines the foundations of disorders such as autism and ADHD from a nutritional and dietary perspective, and alongside rehabilitation interventions, it recommends appropriate dietary regimens. The material presented is intended for families as well as professionals involved in rehabilitation programs for individuals with psychological, behavioral, and learning disorders.

My Son Is a Slow Learner

Authors(s): Mahvash Kianersi

Year: 2017

I am the mother of a young adult who is a slow learner, and in this book I share the experiences of living with my son Pouya throughout his childhood and adolescence. Slow-learning children are honest, affectionate, and trusting, and these qualities make them unique in how they perceive and interact with the world. The efforts my husband and I have made—shaped by both our son’s strengths and his challenges—have always been directed toward helping him grow, progress, and eventually achieve a life with as much independence as possible. By sharing our journey, we hope that other families who have a slow-learning child will also share their own experiences and support one another.
