Maiden Voyage



Welcome Parents!


My name is Shannon, and I am the founder of Minds that Matter. Some of you I know well from other support forums, email lists, and long phonecalls. And while those things can never be replaced, I am nevertheless excited this day is here!

The reason for this blog is mainly to keep you informed of periodic discoveries. You will see blogs from me, volunteer parents and employees , including pictures and video. If you want us to post something for everyone to see, we've included e-mail addresses at the bottom for you.

I am most excited to tell you about our discussion board, also launching soon! Though I belong to other wonderful listserves, discussion boards and the like, some of them may limit the material allowed to be discussed.




Since we are of the opinion that most parents are here for health-related information to help our children, we will try not to regulate content (unless it is inappropriate or offensive). It is through this interaction and discussion that we'll all get the information we need to help our children grow; even those of us who don't post will often read and learn.


Just go to our main page, http://www.mindsthatmatter.org/ and click "parent pages." You'll be redirected to sign into the discussion board.


The discussion board is a Google product; you will be required to have a Google password, (you keep whatever e-mail address you have) in order to sign in. Only members can post or reply, but anyone can read. Your e-mail addresses will not be revealed when you post (unless you elect)! We totally understand if you want to sign in and just do a test message at first.



Lastly, contact us at
information@mindsthatmatter.org or webmaster@mindsthatmatter.org if you find flaws or need to report inappropriate content. We will have interns, volunteers, and concerned parents help moderate the page until we hone it down to a workable science, so please, keep making those suggestions!
