Neurological Imbalances may lead to ADD/ADHD/Aspergers/Autism/ Dyslexia/Learning Disabilities. Dr. Keri Chiappino and Dr. Brent Reynolds are neurological specialists who work with children with neurological imbalances. Problems in the brain may lead to an inability to process information correctly, behave appropriately or socialize with others. The doctors perform extensive neurological examinations in order to determine if the child’s problem in academic performance or behavior can be correlated with imbalances in the brain. Very often, children with academic or social disabilities have correlating imbalances in their brains. Many children with disabilities have a strong hemisphere of their brain and a weak hemisphere. For example, a child who has a strong left hemisphere and a weak right hemisphere may experience ease with mathematical calculations and a love for computer work, but he or she may have major problems socializing and experience emotional outbursts. Conversely, children with a strong right hemisphere and a weak left one may be very social, but may have academic challenges with spelling, reading and math. The Maximum Achievement Program (MAP) is a combination of therapies including physical, balance, auditory, visual, cognitive, the Play Attention System and the Interactive Metronome. The program is hemisphere-specific therapy targeted at the root issue behind many children’s disabilities, and is designed for the childs’ specific needs. Improving balance in the brain can increase function and help children with academic and social challenges.
