A recent study reported from The Kennedy Kreiger Institute shows that children with Autism learn new behaviors differently than other children:
“Newswise — Researchers from the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have collaborated to uncover important new insights into the neurological basis of autism. The findings suggest that children with autism appear to learn new actions differently than do typically developing children.”
The Brain Balance Program recognizes these differences. Based upon the most current research our program works from a brain based model which recognizes that many of the children that are diagnosed with these disorders suffer a foundational imbalance or under-connectivity of electrical (brain) activity. This imbalance or under-connectivity occurs within and between the two halves (hemispheres) and/or large networks of the brain. We now understand that it is this imbalance of function, also known as functional disconnection syndrome, within and between the two halves of the brain which is often responsible for many if not all of the physical, cognitive or mental, and/or behavioral difficulties related to these disorders.
