Mainstream vs. Alternative ...

Any mother wants what is best for her child and Laura Shapiro Kramer does not differ in that respect. Leary of what modern medicine had to offer her mild to moderately cerebral palsied child, Seth, she began to explore alternative therapies from homeopathy to Feldenkrais. A mother's struggle to help her young child lead her beyond the mainstream and into the oft times controversial world of alternative medicine. A powerful book, a success story for one family, but not for everyone.



In 1984, at the age of 10 months, Laura Shapiro Kramer's son Seth was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy. Kramer and her family began a search for proper assessments and treatments that led further and further away from reliance on Western, mainstream medicine, and led them toward the alternative therapy community. In Uncommon Voyage: Parenting a Special Needs Child, Kramer documents her family's journey of alternative therapies through Feldenkrais, craniosacral massage, Ayurvedic medicine, osteopathy, homeopathy, sensorimotor training, and vision training. Too often--and oftentimes inappropriately--the traditional medical community takes over the care of special needs children. Uncommon Voyage provides valuable information and support for parents of special needs children who are searching for alternative, effective, treatments.
