If a child suffcn from the impairment known, commonly, as mirror vision: do you teach him to adapt to the condition or do you retrain him to sec the image properly? "What you bring up is a very critical issue," Dr. Denhoff pointed out. "We arc working on this and it is the purpose of some types of our research. Mirror imagery or mirror writing is a normal part of maturation in most children. Every child goes through a phase of writing in reverse because the brain receives images from the eye upside down. It takes the brain a certain amount of energy or maturity ·tp turn it around." He noted that, particularly in an English­ speaking society, we impose a left-right organization upon our children at a very early age, even though many children do not develop this maturity until they are 9 or 10. Society also minimizes the natural maturational" differences between boys amf girls. "Most children will outgrow mirror im­ agery by 9 or IO - but we don't give them the time! We rather impose upon them that they have to write properly, they have to keep up with other kids, or they have failed. Thus the problem of anxiety, emotional components, begin to interfere further with mirror imagery and the children can beco_me compl~tcly incapaci\ated. - "Since we recognize that many skills may be trained, we are able then through teaching to train children how to put the "A" not upside down. This docs not necessarily train them to think and put together words properly; that depends upon maturation, innate intelligence and how they use their various senses effectively." A WorkJac Arnnpamt Dr. Denhoff works with patients ranging from infancy through about age 14. Should a child 's problems continue beyond this age, the pediatrician has a working arrangement with Dr. Steve Feldman, who deals in adolescence, to carry on from that point. , Although some youngsters do continue to need _medical attention throughout their adolescent years, Dr. Denhoff said that his and Dr. Feldman's combined research and long-term follow-ups show "that about 85% of our normal kids who have learning and language problems, if they receive com­ prehensive care, fit into life and are successful. They arc literally better than the normal kids who did not receive specialized help." He stressed that a major factor deter­ mining the outcome of individual programs is whether or not a "continuum of care" has been provided for the child. And if they do not outgrow their par­ ticular difficulties? "They become young adults who arc extremely anxious, nervous, unable to fulftll their destiny.

If a par­ ticularly critical patient is in their care, watchmen are hired to look after them around the clock. Naturally, they are instructed to note danger signs and changes and to report these to the doctor on call. Four hours each weekday morning are devoted to treatment room routine and sur­ ge_ry. An hour of this goes into set-up and preparation, followed by three or four sur­ geries performed either as a team or alone, and seven to ten follow-up exams. In-addi­ tion, the doctors have anywhere from 25 to 50 office visits each day. Both doctors are usually on the premises from I :30 to 7 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

The hospital will celebrate its first birthday in this new structure on January - 19, in its usual low-key manner. The majority of neighboring communities are barely aware of its existence. According to· Charles Ronkin, executive director, the hospital serves as a referral specialty center, licensed for chronic disease rehabilitation in what is called semi-acute, or sub-acute, capacity. In layman's terms, this is hospital care after a patient has been released from a general hospital. . Mr. Ron kin further explained the type of treatment provided as, "an intensive level of care, but a level of care which is not life­ threatening to the patient. The patient is not in any particular type of emergency crisis, however, he requires constant physi­ cian intervention. Chronic patients usually suffer not from one illness, but from integrated COIJlplications of many illnesses at different degrees of advancement. Treatment of such patients is usually very specialized." , New England Sinai provides a rchabilita­ ' tion program for post CVA (stroke) patients-, for quadraplcgics, paraplegics and for total hip rq,laccments.

Many of their patients are respirator-dependent or on some type of -, respiratory treatment program, requiring constant oxygen or therapy in addition to other medical complexities. " I would say 98% of our patients come to us fro m other hospitals," Mr. Ronkin pointed o ut. Since they arrive with varying degrees of complications, most of them require a form of special diet. In this regard he told us, " Right now I believe we have 99 patients and are 99% occupied. Of these patients, 98% are on special therapeutic diets: a very high p~rcenl." A Kosher IMtltutlon Although the facility is non-sectarian regarding the types of patients it will treat, the institution itself keeps kosher. As was explained, there are varying levels of kosher, but New England Sinai has the Yaad Harabonim signatories' approval, or are certified by the local rabbinical council. The onl y other facility in the immediate area which is YH approved is the Hebrew Rehabilitati on Center, a home for the aged with a hospital adjunct to serve its residents.
