I've been working with a 3.5 year old boy with severe motor and speech delays for 6 weeks now, 1 session per week [from the Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course].

"When I first saw him he was barely talking, did not have eye contact with anyone, wasn't toilet trained and was in total fear."

After 2 sessions the mother reported that he's saying many more words and he stopped drooling completely.

After 3 sessions he stopped wearing his cap which he never removed from his head for his security.

Now, after 6 sessions he's basically talking fluently (he still needs work on his clarity), makes proper eye contact, is almost fully toilet trained, is not scared of people or things and enjoys himself with his peers.

He's also much calmer at home and enjoys playing on his own.

These activities appear to calm, organize, and mature the neuro-sensory-motor systems just as we see in the healthy development of human infants.

The Brain and Sensory Foundations activities appear to improve overall functioning resulting in measurable improvements for a range of conditions as demonstrated in over 1800 case studies from participants.
