Throughout our interview, Lorraine presented information about how the mind works and develops, what can become a barrier to our brain's development and how she can help. I never said wow so many times during an interview. If your child is struggling- whether s/he is on the autism spectrum or just struggling in school, diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, recovering from a concussion or trying to manage any learning challenge, this interview may be your answer. Lorraine combines her 13+ years of teaching with her qualifications as a registered nutritionist and her training in neuroplastic learning therapy.
