[Bookmark] Optimal functioning, whether at school, work or in the home depends on healthy behavioral and emotional function. When the brain is not operating at an optimal level, as in the case of autism, the neurons are often rigid and inflexible. This does not allow the ability for neurons to communicate with one another quickly and efficiently. A healthy balance in this area optimized through Neurofeedback therapy can often alleviate many symptoms of autism, improve overall performance, and in some cases reduce or eliminate the need for medications. In this episode of The Mother Cub Show, host Susan Lynn Perry interviews Dr. Melinda Down about the many benefits that Neurofeedback therapy can offer a child with autism. The episode will continue with the autism book pick of the week. This week will feature Michele Griffin, author of Picky, Picky Pete, the creative children’s story of a boy with sensory issues and how he and his mother are able to cope with his daily challenges.
Susan Lynn Perry is a published freelance writer, former motivational speaker and best-selling author of fiction, nonfiction, short stories and inspirational articles. As an author, speaker, international radio host, and mother to a child with autism, she shares her unique and often surprisingly-humorous perspective on what it’s like to live in the world of autism – from the heartbreak of diagnosis, to the daily challenges, to the wonderful “light bulb moments” when a special child makes an unexpected developmental leap forward.
The Mother Cub Show is a culmination of the host’s extensive skill set, bringing much-needed positive media attention to the multitude of doctors, researchers, authors, therapists and other professionals ... More »
