Our son Avi, now 10 in 4th grade, is also HF and very bright. He has been in the regular class at Yeshiva Har Torah in Queens since kindergarten, and has had a full-time para since 2nd grade. It's gone very well, and the yeshiva has been supportive, but we're also hitting the wall in terms of his ability to control his emotional outbursts, and we're struggling with what to do with him next year and beyond. You may also find Kulanu to be a very helpful organization, particularly its Kulanu Torah Academy. Good luck to us all! {Jonathan}

Our son has been GF and CF for years, and while we haven't seen any miraculous behavior changes, it did help some major digestive problems he had. One lifesaver has been a really easy, good recipe for GF/CF bread, from Lisa Lewis' Special Diets for Special Kids. Note that it's not a particularly doughy mix--we end up mixing the ingredients in an electric mixer until they're the consistency of thick pancake batter, then pour into a bread pan or onto a cookie sheet. For rolls, just spoon out circles. This quantity makes about 1 normal loaf plus 3-4 rolls, but your mileage may vary with the size of your baking pans. Remember to allow room to rise. Dry ingredients: 2 cups white rice flour (We use Goya) 2 cups tapioca starch (We use Ener-G) 1/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 4 heaping tsp xanthan gum 2/3 cup Vance's DariFree powderYeast Prep (put in separate cup, and allow yeast to begin rising before adding to rest of ingredients): 2 tsps sugar 1/2 cup warm water 4 heaping tsp dry yeast Wet ingredients: 4 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp brown rice vinegar or cider vinegar 3 eggs 1 1/2 cup warm water After mixing and pouring into/onto baking surface, allow to rise, then bake for 20-25 mins (for rolls) to 50 mins (for full bread) in 400 degree oven. The bread actually looks and tastes good, although it goes stale very quickly. Enjoy! {Jonathan}
