Resources

RESOURCES

It is a goal of Making Lemonade to be a "Go To" place for resources.  Another personal goal of mine is to not only provide resources, but to learn from others as well.  As I will say time and time again, other parents can be your best resource when needing information.  Not only can you find out details about a service, organization, clinic, product, etc., you get a first hand review.  

This is the type of information that I will continue to pass on to you.  Check back often and click on the "Resources" tab.  I hear from support group members, friends, teachers and other professionals that I speak to.  I will update this page as hear of new places, clinicians, services, etc. and as I hear reviews.  

Here are the details of some of the latest things that I've learned of:

1)  PROJECT LIFESAVER - MOBILE TRACKING SYSTEM 
     Delaware County Sheriff's Office 740-833-2810   / Project Life Saver 740-833-2800
     A rapid response partnership designed to save lives and reduce the potential for serious injury for those who wander due to Alzheimer's, Disease, Autism, Down Syndrome, Dementia and other related disorders.  Those enrolled in the program wear a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal.  If a member is reported missing, Delaware County Sheriff's Deputies will respond and start a search with the mobile locater tracking system.  

2)  CHADD - Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
     The CHADD of Columbus has meetings at Marburn Academy in Columbus, OH.

3)  ADDitude Magazine - Magazine offering articles, blogs, and tons of information on life with ADD/ADHD.  I have had a member of our support group say that this is the best resource she has found.

4)  Flourish Therapy of Ohio - 571 High Street, Ste 13, Worthington, OH  43085
     614-545-8300
Therapy clinic that offers Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Social Group Therapy that offers in-home services.
