Stephen had what was described as a "learning problem." His folks found a method called The Neurodevelopmental Approach which is locally provided by Jan Bedell, Certified Neurodevelopmentalist. Ms Bedell is founder of Little Giant Steps. She left her teaching career when she discovered how miraculous this approach worked with her mentally challenged daughter. She's also discovered how is works with those who are typical or gifted. After 15 years of serving families, successes with kids who struggle with learning, has been the fuel by which she's continued to teach parents how to change their kids lives for the better. Life is more than academics which is generally the focus of The Neurodevelopmental Approach. Steven has been delighted with a by-product of getting more efficiently "wired!" (doing activities that increase the neuro-pathways in the brain and results in higher neuro-efficiency - faster communication between the brain and body.) By the way, his academics have sky-rockted, too! Here's his story:
"I can’t believe how much this program has helped me. It changed my life! Immediately in the sports I can see the ball traveling at 65-70 mph coming straight at me and I can hit it. My stats were 21 at bat and 15 hits and that is incredible for me. I think I was one of the best on the team. I went from the bottom of the batting order to close to the top! ~ Steven, age 14."
So, beware all of you parents who would like to see similar sports" benefits in working with your kids on a Neurodevelopmental Program. In fact, Jan has considered offering a free seminar for parents and coaches on this subject. If interested, please call 972-758-1260 and see about hosting a seminar that will give you new knowledge and skill that can net good things for the whole family!
