VISION

I am committed to the cost-effective delivery of services in a way that helps the "whole" person to be the best they can be as naturally as possible. I believe in prevention through education, early intervention through consultation and treatment through practical intervention strategies. My vision is to be able "to help well people stay well". I am committed to the provision of these services in person or via long-distance around the world through telehealth technology (i.e., telephone and Internet consultation).

PERSONAL BELIEFS/ ASSUMPTIONS

I truly believe that all of us are beautifully and wonderfully made. When we are able to understand how we function best, we can make the most of our strengths and learn how to overcome our challenges. This helps us to accept and celebrate who we are. I believe that we need to remove the barriers to healthy functioning in mind, body and spirit, before we add in substances (like medication and/or supplements). In this way, we can be the best we can be as naturally as possible and with a minimum of expense.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I wish to acknowledge the many people who have contributed to my personal and professional development. I am particularly grateful to the training in consultation provided by Dr. Solveiga Miezitis. I am very appreciative to Dr. Mel Levine for allowing me to use the Levine Information Processing Questionnaire and Strategies for Improving Attention and to Dr. Geraldine Farrelly who has willingly shared her Farrelly Protocol for a Medication Trial.

My gratitude extends to Dr. Thom Hartmann for his unique and positive approach to AD/HD. Dr. Hartmann's ideas were used as a basis for the Hunter and Farmer cartoons found in several of my books.

I would also like to express my respect for several great pioneers in the field of brain allergies - Drs. Theron Randolph, Marshall Mandell and Doris Rapp. It is gratifying to see their ideas beginning to gain wider acceptance.

The Scholten Family

Finally, I would like to thank every person - clients, friends, and colleagues, who have contributed to the development of my practice, my books and this web site. I couldn't have done it without you!
