According to the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Patch, Dr. Maida P. Galvez, M.D., of Mount Sinai Medical Center recently addressed the League of Women Voters (LWV) regarding the environment and the state of children's health today.

From the article: “Children are more vulnerable than adults, pound per pound,” said Dr. Galvez. “They process toxins differently, and have windows of vulnerability. Their brains are developing, and they have more years of future life after the exposure, meaning a longer shelf life for the risk of disease later in their adult life.”

Like most of our children, Katy & Leah Donmoyer spent their respective recess times alone. Now the twins are taking part in playground activities such as jumprope and playing with there neurotypical classmates. This is by design as the Copper Ridge Elementary School wants to incorporate NT students into teaching children on the spectrum how to enjoy the fun activites that occur at recess.
