http://www.learningimprovementcenter.com/ is a link to get some information about brain integration.
DD5 is on board, and has confidence in program. We'll complete treatment next week.
CurrentTherapist very helpful, and reporting amazing results in her opinion with dd15.
One of our missions is to get dd caught up at school, and that seems to be going very well.
Another mission is to keep her hooked into her social network while she's homeschooling. This weekend was a huge success with two of her bff's. We parked downtown, had a terrific dinner, walked the 15 minutes to our reservation for one of those themed escape room experiences.... SO much fun. We failed, but honestly we were short a flashlight, and there were too many people in our room since part of our group showed up on the wrong day and no one caught it.
Oh well... we're going back! DD15 was a superstar puzzle solving math genius of the group. It was a wonderful confidence builder for her. She took over leadership at one point, and solved the puzzle some of the adults failed to figure out for way too long. Everyone was giddy with enjoyment, and there was a cool steam punk bar with sofa section to sit and replay everyone's POV. If anyone decides to try it.... remember to bring reading glasses. You don't want to be blind AND stumbling around in the dark unable to read the clues.
We played card games at home afterwards. The next morning we prepared a beautiful brunch and enjoyed hot tea in our girl-y mix and match tea cups... the entire morning felt magical. More card games, some gluten free baking, and now it's just me and my girls again. TOTAL win if I hadn't had to walk funny all night to compensate for a wounded toe. I ripped a nail out before we left yesterday, and had a gash that just would not stop bleeding. Even so, I would have hopped on one leg only to make sure everything went the way it did.
Everyone agreed we're going to have regular sleepovers. I think one of dd's buddies expected the house to look like it did before we renovated. It was lovely to see her face light up as she went from room to room, amazed, and happy to find everything clean, bright, and new. No dusty old carpet, just clean wood floors with a clean pug puppy to roll around with. All the laughter, and fellowship..... it felt like we're on the right path.
I'm grateful, and will give updates as the brain integration treatment progresses: )
I have my younger dd going in for evaluation tomorrow bc she has trouble with spelling. The T got into this work bc her child didn't spell well, and she said she can 100% help.

Lighter, it just came to me how appropriate your name 'lighter' is. Your words, your deeds, your projects, your compassion, exude light and lift spirits.

Thanks for the link... I'll check it out and maybe dig deeper. That sounds like a fabulous weekend. I think I'm just a little jealous at all the girly giggly fun... but then, I really don't do well in groups and have my "solitude" steel doors pretty much frozen in place these days. My choice; so I dare not complain. 8)

I'm reading BREAKING THE LEARNING BARRIER Eradicating ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia by Susan McCrossin, A.P.
She's the Neuroscientist who developed the Crossinonlogy Brain Integration Technique (BIT) 1988.
Today we had youngest dd's evaluation done. So interesting to have someone tell you what your child did in school to get past learning difficulties.... and be RIGHT!
She explained what parts of the brain are hooked in properly, which parts are switched, and what has to happen to make things run smoothly again. NOT the way she said it, but the way I understood it. She said dd would eventually be dx'd with dyslexia, though it's more like ADD, but is actually neither...... it's the brain, and we can fix the pathways.
The conversation made me very sad for the kids out there not getting services, getting dx's that aren't correct, and getting crushed under the weight of teachers and parents telling them they aren't trying hard enough when they just can't make the connections no matter what they do.
DD has lots of vision stuff going on as well.
I have both kiddos scheduled in for treatment plans. Getting it done as quickly as possible.
I'm hopeful.
Thanks tt for the kind words. I feel like my girls and I are heading in a good direction.
Amber..... I spend a lot of time on my own. I think that's what makes these moments of group activity easy happy experiences. Too much sends me into solitary stints that last a while.
