hvparent.com n Hudson Valley Parent 21 enough to be troubling. "This may be a concern but there is no scientific basis for such a con- cern." To ease the anxiety that many kids feel during doctor visits – which may be due to a heightened sensitivity to noise, having to wait, anticipation etc. – some medical institutions are making accommo- dations for kids with special needs, especially when a visit includes an immunization. Walter Shuster, president of the Down Syndrome Association of the Hudson Valley, has twin girls who are 3, one of whom has Down Syndrome. Shuster says he doesn't believe the hype about immunizations, in- cluding that they cause autism. Neither of his girls has had a bad reaction to any of their immuniza- tions, which they've gotten on the same schedule that other children have. Both of his daughters recently started public preschool in Pough- keepsie. "The chances of something happening because of a measles vaccination – to me, it doesn't make sense," Shuster adds. "It might be this one in 30,000 [chance], rather than, the next thing you know, my child is infecting a whole school of children with a disease. That's a lot more dangerous." Karen Maserjian Shan is a free- lance writer who lives in Pough- keepsie.
