The National on CBC ran an interview with the founder of The brain repair institute of Canada , a supposed treatment center for kids with autism and other neurologically based conditions like cerebral palsy. To say that I found the whole thing disturbing would be a GROSS understatement. Though she bases some of her claims on good science, she then makes outrageous claims that are totally unfounded and denied by the original researchers. A quick review of her website even shows many names of well known researchers that, in the interview, denied even knowing her or her work and would not endorse what she is doing.

I could rant extensively about many issues raised in the interview and their impact on families and their children, but I will let the reader decide for themselves.

You can watch the video online on the cbc website, or read a print version of the same program here .
