IAHP state "if we have to put everything we do on one hook, patterning is really not a bad place to hang our hat" [8] and "that if these patterns were applied rigorously, on a specific schedule, and done with a religious zeal, brain-injured kids improved. A highly controversial aspect of the IAHP is their approach to treating epilepsy.
Their program requires that all children be slowly weaned off anticonvulsants. They claim that often seizures cause no harm and that status epilepticus can be caused by anticonvulsants and may be best left untreated by them. Instead, they believe epilepsy can be cured by enhanced oxygen intake, respiration, and diet.
This has not been studied or confirmed using scientific research methods and so there is no reliable evidence that this approach is either safe or effective. It has not found favour with neurologists or epilepsy support organisations. Anticonvulsant medication, as with any therapy, is a compromise between the side effects of the drugs and the problems caused by seizures. Criticism of the Doman-Delacato method is widespread in the medical establishment, many of whom regard it as quackery.
Their Committee on Children With Disabilities has issued warnings regarding patterning as early as They updated and repeated their warnings in The latest cautionary "policy statement" from them was in , which was reaffirmed in and [9].
Kathleen Ann Quill, in her book " Teaching children with autism: What parents want ", [10] says "thousands of families have wasted time and money to follow Doman's methods. However his programs were "based on shaky or nonexistent research evidence" and "most child development experts at the time described many aspects of the program as useless and perhaps even harmful. Martin Robards also cites criticism in his book " Running a Team for Disabled Children and Their Families " [12] but concedes that Doman and Delacato caused paediatricians and therapists to recognise that early intervention programs are needed.
The conclusion is reproduced here:. The Doman-Delacato patterning technique is premised on a bankrupt and discarded theory and has failed when tested under controlled conditions.
