August is here, and the summer is winding down. Summer vacations and activities will soon be over as students head back to school. David and I have had a fabulous summer reconnecting with family, friends and co-workers, and traveling to Seattle, as well as to Ohio, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. We’ll visit St. Augustine and Niagara Falls in August. Our final trip to Virginia in October for my nephew’s wedding will be the last family get-together this year. Years ago it was easy to lose track of school mates, friends, and even family members. Today’s technology has made it so much easier to maintain these relationships through phone calls, email, Facebook, texting, etc. But for me, the connection is much more personal when it’s face-to-face. Unless you FaceTime or use Skype, technology doesn’t allow you to see a smile or hear laughter. And even then, you don’t get to see the subtle nuances of body language or enjoy the warmth of a hug. We hope this magazine encourages face-to-face interactions between neighbors. The next time you see someone featured on the cover, say hello and share something about yourself and your family. It’s one small step toward becoming part of the fabric of your community. People are what make a neighborhood a living community instead of just a group of buildings. Reach out to me, too. I’d love to share your story. Enjoy the last days of summer. The holidays are just around the corner!

The Glint of Light By Darla Parris Smallwood
“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” —Anton Chekhov
“Not every dad is ready to be one, but that doesn’t make you any less loved.” She often says this to her six-and-ahalf-year-old son Aiden, says Jodi Scolardi. But she probably doesn’t really need to tell him. Because with every choice that she makes, on every day that she lives, she shows him. “Aiden has no father in the picture, not even to give financial support. We live in a duplex in Windsor Park. I 8

bought it pre-construction on my own, and we moved in when Aiden was just three-and-a-half. I wanted him to be part of a place that makes you feel good just driving through, a happy community filled with families, because I truly believe that it takes a village…,” says Jodi. Originally from Rhode Island, Jodi moved to Jupiter with her parents in 1991, shortly after graduating from high school. “I stayed in the area because I liked the small town feel, the family friendliness, and, of course, being near the water.” Although Jodi owned a home in PGA National when Aiden
was born, she rented it out for several months thereafter and moved in with her mother and step-father, Linda and Kent Anderson, at their home in the Bluffs. “They made sure Aiden and I never felt completely alone, and my mom watched Aiden so I could work. Kent, and my dad, Dan Scolardi, both play such a big part in Aiden’s life.” Dan has recently relocated from Stuart to Georgia, but he still visits his daughter and grandson every month. Jodi is ineffably grateful for the unwavering support of her immediate family, and also for the support of the “family” of friends that surround her and Aiden. “I’ve made so many of my own friends through Aiden. Lots of them are single moms, and we enjoy getting together at the beach or other places where we can bring our ‘little people’ too.” Jodi, who previously worked as an electrologist, appreciates
her new boss too. Now a customer service representative at Allstate Insurance in Jupiter, Jodi credits agent/agency owner James Cowan for believing in her “and giving me a chance to go in another direction that will help me better provide for my son.” And when she watches Aiden play soccer in the green space with neighborhood kids, chalk the sidewalk alongside two year-old Mason from down the street, or excitedly plan a sleepover Continued page 10
DEPRESSION. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, there are options. At Neurocore Brain Performance Centers, we know depression can feel insurmountable and medications might not be the right fit.

with friends at the Scolardis’ house –“That’s my favorite thing. It’s what I envisioned for Aiden when I bought this place,” Jodi explains. As thankful as she is to be the recipient of so much support from the “village,” Jodi also makes sure to reciprocate. She donates to the Palm Beach food bank, and she’s taken Aiden along with her to work in a local soup kitchen. Every Christmas, she and her son choose both a boy and a girl from the Salvation Army Angel Tree to provide 10

with Christmas gifts. “I want Aiden to be grateful for what he’s been given and to feel a responsibility to give back.” “Being a solo mom,” says Jodi, “is a whole different world.” She used to feel sad when she’d think about families with two parents participating together, but now she’s reconciled to the fact that it’s just her and Aiden. “I only know ‘us.’” “There are hard times, and real struggles to overcome. But I always remind myself that I’m no victim. Plenty of others have things way worse. There’s no ‘poor me.’ That’s what I try to teach Aiden.” Apparently, she’s a pretty effective teacher. One day last year when she and Aiden were driving over to her father’s house, Aiden told Jodi, “You know… I have a dad too. God’s my dad.” Then one day last June, Aiden came home from camp and told Jodi how he’d spent the day playing with a little boy that nobody else would play with. “He’s an old soul. He has a soft heart,” Jodi says. Sounds more like a good heart. He must have gotten it from his mom. ————————————————————————————————————— Do you have a story to share, or do you know a neighbor who does?

“Direct Access” to Physical Therapy By Jennifer O’Brien, MSPT, CEAS, CHC, CPI, Clinical Director
I recently read a social media post that revealed just how many people still do not know about direct access to physical therapy (PT). The post referenced someone I’ll call Eric, who was experiencing shoulder pain and seeking advice about what to do. Following the advice of the majority, Eric made an appointment with his primary doctor, had an X-ray and was referred first to an orthopedic doctor, then to PT. Unfortunately, this process delayed his PT for a month. Knowledge of direct access would have allowed Eric quicker access to PT, less expense, and quicker return to the activities he enjoys. If he had taken advantage of “direct access” and gone directly to PT, he likely would have been pain-free long before he could even start PT along the route he chose. Eric was not alone in his thinking though. A recent survey by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) revealed that 70% of people are unaware of direct access. According to the Florida direct access statute, you can go directly to
PT for 30 days without a physician’s referral. If you require care beyond 30 days, you need a referral from a practitioner of record, or a practitioner of record can review and sign your PT treatment plan. A practitioner of record can be a medical doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner,
Direct access is covered by most insurers, and you can be confident about going straight to PT. Physical therapists are skilled at evaluating and diagnosing (with respect to PT practice) as authorized by state law. They are trained to recognize signs and symptoms outside of their scope

What is Low Dose Naltrexone?
Improving Your Health with Custom Medications
By Rick Upson
Naltrexone is an FDA-approved drug for treating patients with alcohol dependence. The drug works by blocking opioid receptors 24 hours a day, taking the euphoria (fun) out of drinking. While naltrexone is available in 50mg and 100mg tablets, low dose naltrexone (LDN) is usually administered in amounts of only 0.5 to 4.5 mg per day, hence the name. LDN only blocks opioid receptors for six hours a day; the body responds by making more endorphins that land on the opioid receptors once the six-hour blockade ends. LDN thereby works for difficult-to-treat chronic pain such as fibromyalgia. LDN is also used to treat autoimmune diseases that result when the body’s immune system mistakenly identifies part of the body as foreign and attacks it. Multiple sclerosis, lupus, inflammatory bowel, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are all examples of autoimmune diseases. One part of an immune response to something identified as foreign is the activation of toll-like receptors (TLR), which leads to production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in inflammation. LDN blocks TLR to prevent such inflammation. Every drug has two forms (isomers), which are mirror images of each other. Normally only one isomer offers a therapeutic effect, but naltrexone’s isomers both contribute a therapeutic effect. Levo naltrexone blocks the mu and kappa opioid receptors, while dextro naltrexone blocks TLR. LDN requires a prescription and is available from compounding pharmacies that work with your doctor to determine the individualized dose to suit your needs. A Brief History of LDN One of the biggest contributions medicine in the 20th century was the discovery of receptors in our bodies. Naltrexone, as an opiate antagonist, was theorized in the 1940s, but it wasn’t until 1984 that naltrexone was recognized for use in receptor-based therapy; its official indication was for addiction to opiates. A year later, in New York City, Dr. Bernard Bihari published the first reported effects of immunological effects of low dose naltrexone. His research was initially with a small group of patients with HIV/AIDS, patients with moderate to severe immune system complications. In the control group of the patients that received a placebo, approximately 31% developed an opportunistic infection during the trial. In contrast, among the experimental group of patients who received low dose
naltrexone, zero developed any opportunistic infections. Over the next few years, Dr. Bihari expanded his research trial to a larger number of patients and furthered knowledge of LDN therapy’s value in treating a number of conditions, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. Today, a growing number of prescribers and pharmacists know about LDN therapy. LDN Therapy Presently, clinical trials are underway, and an FDAapproved form of LDN is predicted within the next five years. Meanwhile, prescribers and patients continue to seek the help of compounding pharmacies to meet their dosing needs. Research reflects successful use of LDN therapy to treat many diseases, including cancer. In some cases, LDN, combined with alpha lipoic acid or high doses of Vitamin D, has resulted in shrinkage of cancerous tumors and even complete remission after several years of treatment. For more information about LDN and cancer, visit www. medicorcancer.com. The most common side effect of LDN is sleep disturbances, including vivid dreams. However, this affects only about 6% of patients and can normally be alleviated by taking the dose in the morning, rather than at night. If you think LDN could help you, talk to your pharmacist or prescriber, and visit the website of the LDN Research Trust: www.ldnresearchtrust.org. On this website, you can find a list of doctors who prescribe LDN, pharmacists who compound it, and the diseases LDN has been successfully used to treat. There you will also find other useful information, including how to order The LDN Book, a recently published work with each chapter written by a different prescriber on his/her area of expertise using LDN.

Don’t Let Mosquitoes Spoil Your Summer Provided by Kelley Higney
Enjoying time outdoors is one of the highlights of summer for many families. But all too often, outdoor adventures are ruined by unwelcome guests called mosquitoes.
saliva as foreign invaders and releases histamines as part of the immune response. Histamines boost blood flow to the bite area, causing itching and swelling. Like it or not, those bumps are your body’s way of defending you against the mosquito’s attack!
Why Do Mosquito Bites Itch and Swell? You may be surprised to learn it isn’t the bite itself that causes swelling and itching. It isn’t venom either. Unlike bees and wasps, which do inject venom when they bite, mosquitoes merely inject saliva containing an anticoagulant to stop blood from clotting and make it easier for mosquitoes to feed. The human immune system, however, views proteins in mosquito
How Can You Stop the Itching and Swelling Fast? Once you understand the reason for the itching and swelling that accompany mosquito bites, it’s easy to see why chemical creams and ointments can’t provide complete relief. They don’t go after the source of the problem. Because your body’s immune response to mosquito saliva injected at the site of a bite is the source of symptoms, the key is to remove that

Tips for Back to School By Susanna Launder, M.Ed. Clinical Support Specialist
The beginning of a new school year is right around the corner. Transitioning back to the hustle and bustle from the lazy days of summer can be challenging for many families. Now is the time to start thinking about how you, as a parent or caregiver, can make that transition as smooth as possible. Below are some tips to help you get started. Prime your child for the change. Start talking with your children now about the start of the school year. Remind children that they may have to start going to bed and waking up earlier and that they have to be out the door by a certain time to get to school on time. Discuss any other disruptions/ upcoming changes to their current schedule. Creating a visual checklist, video model or social story can be helpful strategies as well. Establish and practice a school routine early. We all benefit from practicing new skills and routines. Going to bed, waking up, and getting ready for school are no different. Consider creating a back-to-school schedule for your child at least one week before the start of school. Then practice it! This will help both you and your child prepare for the transition, while providing useful information about where you may need to adjust time. Visit your child’s school before the first day of school. Many schools have a “meet the teacher” event before the start of classes. Since such events can be overwhelming for a child on the autism spectrum, consider requesting a school
visit at a different time, perhaps the day following the event. Requesting a visit prior to that event could be problematic since at that point staff and teachers are likely still busily preparing the building/their classrooms. Requesting your visit the day after “meet the teacher” is your best chance to get a true picture of what your child’s class will look like on that crucial first day. Involve your child in back-to-school preparation. From shopping, to selecting first-day-of-school outfits, to packing lunches; allowing children to make choices along the way gives them a sense of ownership and connection to the new school year before it even starts. Such involvement also fosters self-determination and self-advocacy. Stay calm. The start of the school year can be stressful for everyone. Try to react calmly as obstacles/issues arise. Use the resources you have available (family, community, etc.) for support. Remind yourself, “This too shall pass.” For more information about the FAU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), visit www.autism.fau.edu.

Do you know the difference between a rental presentation and an Eissey Campus Theatre presentation? A rental is when an organization rents the theatre to put on their own show. We offer them technical services, the option of selling their tickets and marketing the production, but they produce the show and make all of the creative decisions.
