What's happening out there?

I haven't heard much about what is going on in the world as the therapy world has been very slow due to the economy. Insurance companies are failing to provide reimbursements, the states are cutting their budgets, etc. and people have less money to spend on therapy, even though it is probably more necessary now than ever. I have had a number of families I have seen and then one of the adults lost their job and so they could not see me any more.
Since I have been working in schools, the focus is much different. I have previously done trainings for staff in the schools to identify the disorder and that made a huge difference. So, when they identify it, they know something else is called for. From the larger perspective, I have not been involved on the national scene lately, so I do not hear much. There is definitely a great deal more research going on. I saw the story of a young boy - probably not a CWAD - but he grew up in Russia very afraid of his father, begging on the streets, and was adopted as an older child with his siblings. He is a football star and very talented. He went from living under bridges to avoid his dad to being a success in the United States. He didn't even speak English until high school.
