This laughter group is dedicated to families. Age doesn't matter, all that does are parents and their children wanting to laugh together.
Need something to do with your child that will bring you closer together?
Sharing a laugh bridges the gap between people. Who more to benefit from this then parents and their children. Through laughter, parents and children will get to experience joy at its purist moments. Parents get busy and society teaches children that being with their parents isn't the norm. This group will end that norm and bring back the essence of bonding between parent and child. Laughter yoga was invented by Dr.Kataria.
Laughter Yoga is about getting the benefits of laughter without needing a reason to laugh. The Yoga is for the breathing and meditation part of the session. There will not be any demand of physical poses.

Insults to nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) can have long lasting effects of individual functioning and performance in daily activities leading to difficulty in participation at school, sports, poor quality of life and decreased productivity.
Neuro-physiotherapy is directed towards minimizing consequences from the damage, increase physical function and improve performance on activities. The therapy is directed at improving balance and coordination, improving fine and gross motor functions, strength and endurance training that are critical to independent function in daily life. Physiotherapy in neurological conditions is a combination of therapist's guided movements as well as structured environment to enhance learning. Therapy is focused to provide interactive therapeutic environment to maximize function while tapping brain's plasticity to improve function. The aim of intervention is to provide repetition of movements so as to enhance motor control and learning within an environment that is motivating yet challenging for success.
Neurodevelopmental therapy
Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) is a hands-on treatment approach used by physiotherapists in management of neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, head injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative conditions. NDT focuses on postural control;facilitation of optimal movement patterns in children with disordered movement control, impaired walking performancewith the goal to optimize function, improve balance and coordination and maximize independence in activities. People following neurological insults have limited (restricted) movement patterns that limits smooth trajectory of arms of legs. Repeated and correct movement patterns have shown to improve motor performance. NDT is based on guided or facilitated movements while stimulating tactile, vestibular, and somatosensory receptors within the body. NDT emphasizes on alignment, postural control, weight shifts and movement control while inhibiting untoward movement patterns and facilitating typical movement pattern eventually leading to acquisition of skill.NDT affords continuous assessment and modulation of therapist's assistance throughout the movement execution.
During the first appointment, the child will undergo assessments for tone, postural control, various test to assess physical function both performance and capacity assessments for balance, walking, depending on the condition. All assessments, goal settings and exercise program are mapped with parents and child's schedule. Clients receive a tailored therapy plan based on their assessment to help them achieve their full potential. Targeted goals and treatment plan will be periodically reassessed.
Health issues:
- Improve static and dynamic balance and co-ordination
- Functional re-training
- Improving walking performance
- Strength and endurance training

Agoo believes in newborn screening to detect congenitial hearing loss at birth. We preform audiology screening for newborns to one year olds.
When a child is experiencing a speech, language, communication or development delay, they are referred to an audiologist to rule out possible hearing loss. If a hearing loss is diagnosed, patients and families are given information and strategies to help with communication challenges, are provided with the appropriate therapy, and are referred to the right resources for treatment (ENT if surgery is deemed necessary or a hearing aid specialist if hearing aid are considered). Audiology evaluations are completed at agoo for children from three years old to adults.
Central Auditory Processing (CAPS) Disorder affects up to 5% of school-aged children. These students have difficulty processing the information they hear and are usually characterized as "poor listeners". They have normal hearing ability, but there is a disconnect between what is heard and what is understood. These children's brains interpret sounds differently than those of others.
CAPS testing is administered to assess for auditory processing disorder for children form 7 years old and older.

Neuropsychology is a field interested in establishing a relationship between the brain's functioning and the child's behaviours, which not only includes the child's cognitive functioning (e.g. language, perception, memory, attention, executive functioning, etc.) but also behavioural (e.g. impulsivity, aggression) and psychological (e.g. anxiety, depression) manifestations. The goal of the neuropsychological assessment is to establish a profile of the child's strengths and weaknesses to better understand the origin of difficulties experienced, which may be consequent to neurological, neuropsychiatric, and/or learning problems. Through the assessment, the child's needs are put forward. Depending on the difficulties manifested, subsequent consultations with other professionals may be necessary (e.g. psychologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists) to help improve weaknesses noted. Recommendations will also be proposed to assist the family and the school. In addition, compensatory strategies can also be put forward to help the child palliate difficulties experienced.
Possible reasons for consultation:
- Intellectual disability
- Intellectual Giftedness
- Attention and executive difficulties (e.g. impulsivity, planning, organization)
- Learning problems (e.g. reading, writing, math)
- Motor difficulties (e.g. dyspraxia)
- Visuo-perceptual problems
- Behavioral difficulties (e.g. opposition)
- Social problems
- Tics
- Neurocognitive difficulties associated to neurological conditions (e.g. epilepsy)
- Neurocognitive difficulties associated to different psychological or psychiatric conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression)

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the agoo Children's Health & Wellness Center, I would like to invite you to visit us and consider joining our team.
My colleagues and I have worked very hard to build a medical center where children feel at home, in a pleasant environment but also trustworthy and effective for both doctors and parents.
On the professional side we are proud to say that agoo offers an amazing opportunity for medical specialists and other healthcare professionals to be part of a multidisciplinary team, working together in a single facility towards better patient management. Please note that patients are never charged for registration or any services covered by medicare.
I invite physicians who wish to be part of a dynamic team to join us and benefit from a state-of-the-art health facility serving a huge population of suburban families. We are particularly interested in pediatricians, family doctors, adolescent medical specialists, otorhinolaryngologists, dermatologists, & ophthalmologists, but welcome anyone who feels they would like to share our vision of delivering above-average quality of care to our pediatric & adolescent patients.
Agoo offers electronic medical records (Medesync), spacious and child friendly offices and separate waiting rooms for sick children.
Furthermore, everyone at agoo is offered an excellent opportunity for top of the line clinical research, publications and conferences with all the support required on site.
Clinic hours are flexible and ideal for full or part-time availabilities including evenings and weekends. We offer opportunities for multi-discipline workshops, CPR accreditation, and many more as we are definitely interested in new concepts and ideas.
I am hoping that you will find the time to visit agoo on site or virtually through our website and click here for an introductory presentation to our clinic.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you possible ways that we can work together.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Is your child having social emotional difficulties at home or school?
Has someone recommended for your child to be evaluated and you do not feel comfortable doing so?
Is your child diagnosed with a disability?
We at Agoo Children's Health Center Centre de santé pour enfants are here for you. We offer an intensive summer program that will help your child learn skills using interactive play therapy. Our goal is to prepare you and your child for the new school year to come.
We now offer an intensive 2-week summer program for elementary school students that need assistance in learning social and emotional skills using interactive experiential play therapy. The program is broken down in three parts.
Part 1: A meeting with the family to observe the dynamics.
Part 2: There will be a school visit associated with each participant, in order to help facilitate a better learning environment.
Part 3: The group program that consists on working on the following skills:
•Self-management (self-control and regulation of emotions)
•Self-awareness (self-confidence)
•Social awareness (social skills)
•Responsible decision-making skills
•Relationship skills (friendship skills)
Part 4: Parents will take part in the experience by participating in a separate 3-hour group session, to learn skills to help their child develop emotional intelligence.
Part 5: An exhibition gathering for all group members and their families to showcase their work within a community.
In addition, an individual problem-solving assessment, as well as a list of recommendations, will be provided.
Insurance receipts are offered under ANQ (l'Association des Naturothérapeutes du Québec).

For appointments
My child is sick and I want to know the easiest way to get an emergency appointment, what should I do?
The number of emergency spots that are available each day can vary. We prioritize patients that are registered with family doctors at agoo for these spots. If there are many spots available, we then open up Bonjour-Santé for the public.
You can see if we have spots available by visiting the following website and entering the Agoo clinic name:
Our phone lines open at 8am 7 days a week. If your child is not a registered patient at agoo, we will put their name on a waitlist for an emergency appointment and give priority to registered patients. If there are still spots available, then you will get a call back just after 10am to book the emergency appointment. If you do not receive a call back, it is because all of the emergency spots have been filled for the day.
**Please note that we do not, under any circumstances, book emergency appointments via email.
I am a registered patient with Dr.Ludmila Kireva or Dr.Nicole Audet and I need to book a check-up with my child's family doctor, how do I do this?
For more information, please see the online booking page.
I booked an appointment on Bonjour-Santé with Dr.Ludmila Kireva or Dr.Nicole Audet and I would like to also have an appointment for vaccines at the same time, how do I do this?
Please notify one of the receptionists if you know that you would like vaccine appointments with your check ups. We will put a note in your file and make sure to book the appointment with vaccines every time. Otherwise, if there is no note in the file, you will receive a call from one of the receptionists if your child is due for vaccines at the time of your check up and you will be able to confirm whether or not you would like to also book a vaccine appointment.
If Dr.Audet and Dr.Kireva accept to see my other child and I would like to book their first time check up with them on Bonjour-Santé, can this be done?
First time visits with these doctors absolutely need to be booked either by phone or email. The first time visits are longer and a patient file needs to be created. We thank you for your understanding.
Career Opportunities
~~If you are interested in becoming part of our team, we welcome you to send your resume at firstname.lastname@example.com
We are currently recruiting a part-time receptionist who is available weeknights and Sundays.
We are also currently recruiting a part-time nurse or nurse's aid.

while i love both of those movies, griff, a band of brothers might be the best war "movie" i have ever seen. it is a tad long (it is an hbo series - 9 episodes of about an hour each) but it is based on fact and the action is very real. they tried to put a bit too much comic relief in 'tld' and some of 'abtf' was just unbelievable.my favorite fiction war movie is in harm's way - a bit smarmy and overly melodramatic but some great lines and cool action.
but the "little boy who wants to be a little girl" thing.

Brady clutches leg, leaves practice
FOXBOROUGH -- Tom Brady walked off the field under his own power after suffering an apparent injury in practice Wednesday afternoon.
During 11-on-11 drills vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady threw a sideline pass to Aaron Dobson that was incomplete. Bucs defensive end Adrian Clayborn appeared to push Patriots tackle Nate Solder into Brady. After the play, Brady remained down on the ground holding his left knee or leg. Clayborn confirmed what happened after the practice session.
"When you've got a guy on his heels, my instinct is to keep going and that's what I did," he said.
Brady got up gingerly and returned to practice, completing three passes before speaking with head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. After consulting with his coaches, Brady left the field, walking in the direction of the Dana Farber Fieldhouse.

A user named Nir posted in another thread about the "Sunny 16" rule, referring to the fact that when shooting in full sunlight, proper settings are usually f16, and then 1/ISO for the shutter speed.
What are some other tips or tricks like this? For example, tricks to photograph snow, or dancers in a theater, or starscapes. Anything really. I hope this question isn't too general, but I think it will be a helpful resource for many.
I'm not looking for tips on photography basics, but rather situational tips and tricks that you have found work really well all the time.

C'mon everyone, that joke sold itself! But seriously, Google started selling branded watches in its company store in Mountain View for those who wanted to show their love for Chrome, Android and "Google" on their wrists, and now these timepieces are available online.
The watches, created in part with Modify Watches, seem to be a retro nod to the 1980s era Swatch Watches. They feature analog faces with interchangeable, color bands to give you choices.
Choices. What else would you expect from a watch that is an homage to a search engine?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Google watches are made from stainless steel and polycarbonate casing and are water resistant to 3 atm (or just shy of 100 feet). They come in two sizes — large and small — so ladies don't think you won't have a chance to show your browser fangirl status.
It may not be haute couture, but given how passionately people embrace one browser or platform over the other I have no doubt there will be a few takers for this watch.
(Note: I would be remiss if I didn't point out that a search on Google for Google watches did not offer up the link to buy the watch in the Google Store . I'm sure they are tweaking the algorithm as we speak.)

The new Broadway revival of "The Heiress," with Jessica Chastain and "Downton Abbey" star Dan Stevens, has the bad luck of opening the same week as Hurricane Sandy's big debut. But despite a canceled preview performance, the production will still open on Thursday as scheduled, according to a spokesman.
"The Heiress," which began preview performances on Oct. 6, is running at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York. Producers canceled Tuesday's preview due to the lingering effects of the hurricane, which cut power to large portions of the East Coast and shut down public transportation in New York.
The play is scheduled to resume previews on Wednesday. The production will officially open on Thursday for an 18-week run. It is the only Broadway production that is opening this week.
"The Heiress" also stars David Strathairn and Judith Ivey, and is directed by Moisés Kaufman. The play, by Ruth Goetz and Augustus Goetz, is adapted from the novel "Washington Square" by Henry James.
Broadway shows saw cancellations across the board on Monday and Tuesday because of Hurricane Sandy. As of Tuesday afternoon, many shows were scheduled to resume performances on Wednesday.
