Why Begin Again?

 

In the study of autism treatment, our family found neurodevelopment techniques, also termed "brain-training."  I worked with my son from age four to age twelve, when our therapy abruptly ended.  My husband suffered several strokes and we found a brain tumor. 

 

What I realized as we walked through a very demanding physical and emotional time was that the result of our exercises and brain training with Christian in cognitive, auditory, visual and tactile areas were permanent.  His pupillary response, macular vision and function are typical/normal and his emotionality is balanced.

 

Christian's love for music has given him opportunity to play for local businesses, youth groups and camps, for Veterans, and in the community (Youth Tuesdays/Downtown Helena/Art Walks).  He plays piano, drums and guitar and writes music in a variety of genres.  His original CD "Unlimited" was released in 2016.
