Nothing helped from a team of doctors to heavy medication. Then in 2010, he was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. My wife and I were counseled to place him in a group home. We refused.Two years earlier, after an impulsive decision to take Ryan skiing, I discovered a different child than the version experts were so sure about. By his second day of skiing, Ryan was executing advanced runs, and with each conquest in the winters that followed, I began to question the path laid for his son by the professionals paid to judge him. Later, I convinced my wife to fight the medical and educational complexes over Ryan’s care and school placement, and together we fostered the freedom Ryan needed to pursue his dream of becoming a professional ski mountaineer. " I truly related with Robert's story and I believe many of the Special Needs Parents will relate too. http://www.without-restraint-book.com/ https://www.facebook.com/robert.c.delena https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertdelena/ If you are looking for a Personal Coach contact Karen at #YESICAN coaching with Karen [email protected] 440 526 1530
