I agree with Matthew, parents want the very best for their child and when looking at some of the advertising for those not evidence based therapies, parents are seeing something “miraculous”. They are only seeing what is happening on the sessions and not seeing what happens when the kid is out of the two or three week intensive. If you don’t know enough about therapy as a parent (and why should a parent know about therapy, right?) than it is really hard to understand why it doesn’t work based on the information out there.
Neuroplasticity principles takes time to really show and seeing those therapies making “such a huge difference in such a short amount of time” is like going through a short cut. I can only imagine the feelings that must go through parents when they invest time, money and tears in those therapies to realize that their kid will not keep the changes from it.
