Our son has just started week 4 of The Listening Program (TLP). The entire program will take 20 weeks to complete and involves listening to 15 minutes of music using special headphones twice a day, 5 days a week. So far it's a bit of a challenge keeping the headphones on him for each listening ses... Comment - Like

There have been a couple studies regarding stem cells and brain injury that I've recently come across and found interesting.
The first study I'd like to point out to is an animal study that transplanted embryonic stem cells into the brains of newborn mice. The study showed that the stem cells not o... Comment - Like

I recently read a blog entry titled "Why we don’t use hyperbaric oxygen for cerebral palsy but the Chinese do" and it got me thinking once again about hyperbarics and how it has helped our son. The post is a short commentary about hyperbarics and governments' willingness (or unwillingness) to util... Comment - Like

Two separate occupational therapists have told us about Therapeutic Listening and how is might help our son, so we thought we'd look into it. Our son tends to get upset when he hears sudden loud noises like a hair dryer, coffee grinder, vacuum cleaner, etc. What's interesting is that if we tell him ... Comment - Like

We've recently started to look into chiropractic care for our son. I've read that chiropractors can sometimes help with posture and neurological function. Our son has had one adjustment several months ago, just before his last month of HBOT. It's something that we've not really had time to pursue... Comment - Like

I was browsing through the CDC website to find out more information about the H1N1 vaccine and thought I'd share some direct quotes from the general Q&A on H1N1 vaccine safety, as well as links to other reputable US government sources of information.

I've read some posts on other blogs, including Ellen's post at To The Max, about H1N1 swine flu and concerns of how this may affect kids with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or other neurodevelopmental conditions in the coming months.
The CDC report states that, of the thirty-six (36) pediatric deaths ass... Comment - Like

This is a lecture by Dr. Philip James at the 2001 International Symposium of Hyperbaric Oxygen for the Brain-Injured Child. I think Dr. James gives a good overview of reasons to utilize HBOT for brain injury.

So much of development is tied to proper nutrition.
Our son has food allergies and oral-motor difficulties with solid foods, which makes it difficult to ensure that he's getting all the nutrition he needs. So, we've consulted with a chiropractor nutritionist who suggested a nutrition test called a P... Comment - Like

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid and a major source of choline. I found out about a PC supplement, PhosChol, from a fellow parent who has a son diagnosed with Guanidinoacetate methyltrasferase deficiency. You can read more about John at Mommy Klor. After consulting with a doctor, I started... Comment - Like

We first heard about serial casting during our son's month of intensive pediatric therapy. His PT told us about children they had worked with who were able to postpone or avoid surgery for muscle tightness using this approach.
