Abstract
There is much information available today about alternative and complementary therapies for infants and children with health problems or disabilities. It is challenging for families and practitioners to evaluate the information coming from both conventional and Internet sources. In this article, we discuss and define alternative and complementary therapies, including their differences from traditional Western medicine. Information is provided to encourage informed decision making when evaluating conventional and Internet evidence. Using a search of the conventional literature and Internet sources about acquired brain injury, we compare and contrast evidence gained from these two sources. A strategy for evaluating Internet information is discussed.
