Disconnected Kids, 3rd Edition

Robert Melillo

Overview

Diagnosis rates for conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia are increasing, yet psychiatric drugs often only mask symptoms. Dr. Robert Melillo's Brain Balance program, developed since the 1990s, proposes that these conditions stem from an imbalance between the left and right hemispheres of a child's developing brain. Over fifty thousand children have completed the program, reporting significant improvements in behavior, emotions, social skills, and academics. This updated edition offers an at-home guide to the Brain Balance program, utilizing movement and sensory exercises without medication or medical interventions to stimulate proper brain development. It includes new exercises and research on how primitive reflexes, which typically disappear by a child's first birthday, can contribute to neurological issues and how exercises can help diminish them to achieve brain balance.
