Research


The idea of neuroplasticity or brain plasticity is not new. First discussed in 1892, it seems however, that the true explosion of research into this mallability has occured in the last ten years.

Until recently mainstream neuroscience held that only the brains of young children were resilient enough to learn new processes or repair damage. This “neuroplasticity” was thought to fade steadily as the brain grew into adulthood (think “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”). It turns out this idea is not just wrong, but based on recent research, it is spectacularly wrong.

The therapy group offers programs based on extensive neuroscience research into using the brain’s ability to “rewire” itself to correct damage and deficits. In our clinic we have seen these programs limit ADD symptoms, alleviate hyperactivity attention deficit disorder and greatly benefit those learning with disabilities. We invite you to conduct your own study of research and offer the following links covering a variety of neuro-science and learning topics:
