Healing Your Child’s Brain

A Proven Approach to Helping Your Child Thrive

By: Matthew Newell, Carol Newell

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

Diagnosis is not destiny.

Autism. ADHD. Learning difficulties. Epilepsy. Cerebral palsy. Traumatic brain injury. From the moment your child is diagnosed with a special-needs condition, you are plunged into a world of doctors, specialists, and therapists. But the most important person on your child's care team is you.

In Healing Your Child's Brain, child-development experts Matthew and Carol Newell arm parents with the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to help their special-needs child flourish. The Newells have treated more than 20,000 children and are the parents of two special-needs children. 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 listeners through the stages of brain development and how they affect functioning, showing what wellness looks like at each level and how to identify - and tackle - problems.

By harnessing the brain's ability to grow and change slowly and steadily over time, your child can and will make progress.
