About Dr. Amy Focus
From the publisher's feed
We train chiropractors, medical professionals, educators and parents to lead with brain development to build a comprehensive "whole to part" approach to working with behavioral, learning,…
developmental and socialization challenges. We need to know more to bridge the gap and build strong teams and clinical, educational and parenting strategies to help kids have a better expression of life and not just cope! Through our seminars and trainings we boil down the complexity of brain development and Neuro-Deflective Disorders™ in order to have practical and implementable solutions and care plans without losing the bigger picture of how it all works together.
