After two years of intensive research, interviews and writing Brain School is now published. In Brain School, Howard Eaton explores how, applying the principles of neuroplasticitiy, Barbara Arrowsmith Young developed cognitive remediation exercises, founded the Arrowsmith Program and opened the first Arrowsmith School in Toronto, Ontario over 30 years ago. Mr. Eaton then discusses how difficult it was for him to move from traditional remediation methods for learning disabilities to seeing the new possibilities that are due to the ability of the brain to change itself. The lives of nine children are discussed as they start the Arrowsmith Program and then move on to either private or public schools. Brain School is availabe at Amazon.com and to distributors at www.gliapress.com. Follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/brainchange.

Hi Marki,
Thanks for purchasing two copies of the book. I am very grateful. I can do speaking engagements. However, if you have a group of parents wanting to do the Arrowsmith Program, and possibly a school interested in running a pilot program please contact Annette Goodman (www.arrowsmithschool.org). She is the Chief Education Officer of the Arrowsmith Program. Please let more people know about Brain School. I need all the help I can get to spread the word of what is possible for children with LD!
All the best,
Howard
