A child who’s diagnosed with ADHD or another learning disability is likely to have several people working to help manage his symptoms. Doctors, parents, therapists, and teachers all have the same goal. Now, a new on-line tool can help everyone stay in touch and work together to meet that goal.

Collaborative treatment for children is at the heart of TherapyBuzz.com, a site that offers parents and care providers a secure and convenient way to exchange information and track the progress of children who require additional support for their development… Parents can create a page for their child, including photographs and documents.

They can invite their child’s providers, such as teachers or therapists, to join their child’s team. Team members can submit notes and documents that all team members can access. Parents can maintain an electronic history of their child’s progress. [Source: LA Special Education Examiner]

Care providers can join the site for free and can either register individually, or as a group - like a clinic or school. An informational Webinar is planned for September 23. More information is available at GoToMeeting.com.
