Carol, Matthew and I talk about tools and educational materials that they have created to help individuals learn about their brain, how it works and how to implement strategies that may help individuals create space for learning and healing.  

I found their perspective and approach very interesting and wanted to share their information for those of you that might want to investigate further.  They have lots of free resources on their site and  other social media. Would love to hear your thoughts as well! 

About the book:

In Healing Your Child’s Brain, child development experts Matthew and Carol Newell
equip parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to help their special-
needs child flourish. The Newells taught more than 20,000 parents and were the parents
of two children with special needs. They know firsthand, as both parents and practitioners,
what works—and what doesn’t.

Most treatments focus on managing symptoms but don’t address underlying
neurological issues. This book guides readers through the stages of brain development and
how they affect functioning, showing what wellness looks like at each level and how to
identify—and address at the root—these challenges.
In these pages, parents will learn:

• The seven key developmental areas that contribute to how well your child
functions in daily life.
• How to understand and evaluate your child’s capabilities and challenges.
• How to create a neuro environment tailored to your unique child. Guiding you to
meet them where they are, rather than where they are “supposed” to be.

With insight into how your child’s unique brain functions, you can move beyond
managing symptoms to establishing a home regimen that fosters neurological growth. It is
possible to transform the structure of your child’s brain—from the cells themselves to the
connections between them. By harnessing the brain’s ability to grow and change slowly and steadily over time, your child can and will make progress.

Matthew and Carol Newell have dedicated their lives to helping children with special
needs and brain injuries. As founder of The Family Hope Center in Greater Philadelphia,
they have assembled a dedicated team of doctors and therapists and developed
neurologically based therapy programs for thousands of families. Over nearly 40 years,
Matthew and Carol have lectured and initiated child development programs which have
helped families from more than 35 countries.
