From the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Blurb about the recently expanded, upgraded special needs dental clinic at Orange Grove Center. Dr Kristin Compton, the Director of Dental Services at Orange Grove received her Fellowship training in adult developmental dentistry at the Underwood and Lee Clinic, Louisville, under the tutelage of AADMD President Dr Henry Hood (so the cross pollination in the Academy continues).

Interesting article on the recent nominee to the National Council on Disability. Ari Ne'eman would be the first person with autism on the National Council on Disability. He is controversial in that he is pushing for society to accept people with autism and not try to cure them. One of the unique aspects of developmental healthcare is that you have to forgo the idea of "cure" (the reason you probably applied to dental and medical in the first place) and reframe your focus. Food for thought.

A recent article in the New York Times (March 27, 2010, Lesley Alderman) invited select physicians to offer their advice on how to cut health care costs.  There were nine offerings ranging from the use of integrative medicine, evidence medicine, nutrition, insurance for catastrophes and changing malpractice laws.  The single "gem" was offered by Dr Edward Hallowell and I thought members of the AADMD would find it worth the two minutes to read it.
