A MEETING for parents of children affected by autism will this week be addressed by one of Ireland’s most experienced physical therapists.
Maria Miniter, a CranioSacral therapist, will be the guest speaker at the meeting hosted by Ennis Voices for Autism on Thursday.
Ms Miniter is a full time CranioSacral Therapist (CST). She is also a qualified nurse with a post-grad in disability nursing. Maria worked for 11 years with the Brothers of Charity in Limerick and Clare.
She brought her son to CranioSacral therapist in 2004, and was so impressed with the results she went on to study the therapy – and qualified in 2011. CranioSacral therapy is a gentle hands-on treatment, which helps the body to rid itself of any stresses or strains which may have a negative impact either on a physical or emotional level on the body.
It is non invasive and has been scientifically proven to work. Maria’s talk is free and open to all.
The meeting takes place at 7.30pm on Thursday, June 5, at the Auburn Lodge Hotel, followed by tea and coffee at 9pm.
Ennis Voices for Autism is a support group for parents of children with Autism and related disorders on the ‘Autism Spectrum’.
With the help of the Clare Local Development Company, EVA was set up as a support and information forum for parents of children whose children are experiencing severe difficulties accessing appropriate services and information to deal with this difficult and complex condition.
