Resources for Educational Problems:
Acorns to Oaks Center provides various kinds of support for children with school and learning problems.Reed Institute and Village Education Centre also provide educational assessment and interventions for children and teens who have learning and behavioral problems.
Hypnotherapists: Caveat Emptor. This is an area where training, standards and credentials really vary. Look for someone who meets high standards of credentialing, with extensive supervised experience. At this time, there are no hypnotherapists I feel comfortable referring clients to in Bangkok. There are several individuals advertising services as hypnotherapists who have only been trained as hypnotists; this includes people using the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) as a credentialing authority. This credential includes little or no supervised, practical experience.
