Broadcast on Neuroplasticity
This link will get you to a show produced by Dan Rather on Neuroplasticity. It is very informative and I encourage you to take a look if you have an interest on the remarkable capacities of the human brain to change.
About me
I have been involved in the fields of Learning Disabilities and Attention Disorders for the past 20 years as a teacher, educational assessor, principal, consultant, university instructor and author. Currently, I manage several companies that focus on the cognitive remediation of learning disorders and in improving brain functioning including the Eaton Arrowsmith School (www.eatonarrowsmithschool.com) and Eaton Brain Improvement Centre (www.eatonbrainimprovement.com). These companies focus on improving brain functioning of our clients using the Arrowsmith Program created by Barbara Young. I also started Magnussen School (www.magnussenschool.com) along with Kristin Harbut, Principal. Magnussen School focuses on developing an understanding of the emotional and neurodevelopmental profiles of students and matching these profiles with appropriate educational planning and goal setting. I am currently writing a book about the Arrowsmith Program and the Eaton Arrowsmith School entitled, Brain School: Children Who Changed Their Lives Through Educational Neuroplasticity.
