Is There a CMF Mini-Conference Near You?

My husband and I attended the mini-conference in Madison, WI in November 2010. It was great to be able to meet parents on the protocol and to be able to ask Teresa Cody, founder of The Changing Minds Foundation, questions.

Orlando, FL November 12, 2011
The Down Syndrome Foundation of Florida has partnered with The Changing Minds Foundation to bring families in Florida an informational presentation/one-day seminar about the CMF protocol. Dr. Teresa Cody will be the main speaker and she will present the science behind each item of the protocol to parents, educators and medical professionals. We will also get to hear from Joanne Mothes, a special education teacher who works exclusively with children and adults with Down syndrome. She will shed some light on the differences she sees in children that take the CMF protocol because half of her group of students takes the protocol and half of them do not. The seminar will be in Orlando on November 12, 2011 from 9:00am to 3:00pm and registration will open on September 30, 2011. You can find the details and registration at http://www.dsfflorida.org/DSFF_Events.html

If you are willing to coordinate the event, just send CMF an email to changingmindsfoundation@gmail.com and they will happily add your town to their schedule.

Monday, May 16th, in Deer Park, TX.


Both Teresa and Joanne Mothes, special education tutor of children with Down syndrome, will speak to parents, teachers, doctors and anyone else interested in hearing about the CMF protocol.


Teresa will present the details of the protocol along with the science behind it. She will also be sharing new information on sleep in relation to DS as well as a solution she has found.


Joanne will share her experience as a special education tutor since half her students are on the protocol and half are not.


Gerrie Bourque and her 14 year old son, Tyler are hosting. He has just started the CMF protocol and his mother says she is amazed at the changes she is seeing in her son! She was so excited that she wanted to have Teresa come and share the information with her local friends and DS group.

In addition to answering questions and concerns from the audience, Teresa will play a video of Joanne Mothes' presentation from their conference last July, entitled "Draw a Line in the Sand". In her talk, Joanne compares the students that are on the CMF protocol to those who are not. The difference is astounding!

You will also hear from Miriam Kauk, a CMF parent since 2008 and founder of my favorite website: einstein-syndrome.com. You will also get to meet her 18 year old daughter, Mary who has been on the protocol for over two years.
