5/5/2008 - What's the treatment? (Amnesia)

  Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust and the Institute of Child Health are working to identify the different aspects of developmental amnesia that respond to neuro-rehabilitation by implementing repetition techniques and other education-based training methods.

  If you suspect your child has this type of memory problem, ask your GP or paediatrician for a referral to the neuropsychology service at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where a team of experts will be able to provide a diagnosis.

  You can also write to: The Institute of Child Health, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Unit, 30 Guilford Street, London WCIN 1EH with a full de******ion of the memory problems. The institute will then consider whether they are appropriate for diagnostic evaluation as part of one of the research programmes.
