We in Africa do need to hear more about Autism and experiences from around the world. I would also like to hear more about those who have used alternative medicine/therapies.. Thank you
We look forward to hearing views from around the world and interacting. Thank you for introducing this.
Thankfully Reflexology is a very gentle therapy worked on hands, feet or ears and a completely non invasive therapy. The main objective is to promote complete relaxation through the reflexes and so encourage healing. I would suggest googling reflexology to get an understanding of what it is about and getting in touch with your Reflexology Organisation for advice.
We work with disabled children and their house matrons in giving reflexology. Because of the healing and calming benefits felt by both children and staff, there has been a willingness to learn some of the relaxation techniques and use it whenever one of the children is unsettled. We are told this therapy has yielded positive results and a calmer environment and inspite of the severity of the physical disablement of the children, they love practising their reflexology.
Orphans of HIV/Aids families who move to cities and live on the streets to survive..There are many volunteer Alternative Therapists (eg; Reflexologists) working at special homes/schools. More are needed.
