Disconnected Kids The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program for Children with Autism ADHD Dyslexia and Other Neurological Disorders The Disconnected Kids Series Dr Robert Melillo 9780399172441 Books Reviews
- This book is pretty much a sales job for the Brain Balance Centers with zero scientific findings behind it. I liked the nutrition piece but the rest is barbaric with a one size fits all approach. Don't waste your money.
- Quite eye opening. We took the right brain left brain test in the book and learned our child has both deficiencies. The book explained that this may be due to retained primitive reflexes. Researched this on Youtube and verified it with the pediatric physical therapist she had as a baby and it is a real thing. We started 2 of the exercise suggestions in the book (starfish and snow angels) after watching the Youtube video's on how to do them and within 1 month, we no longer take my 8 yr. old to the potty at 1100 every single night and she doesn't wet the bed anymore. THIS REALLY WORKS. We are now getting ready to start all the exercises. Thank you Dr. Melillo.
- I am a parent who, 5 years ago, read Disconnected Kids in its first edition (at the recommendation of a teacher, I might add), said "yup, that's my kid!", enrolled my child at a Brain Balance center 1.25 hrs away from my home, and his life was permanently changed for the better after 3 months of work using Dr. Melillo's approach. My son had a whole range of issues - Asperger's symptoms, anxiety, motor skill issues, constipation, skin irritations, uneven academic skills, inability to see the big picture / intense focus on narrow subject matter, extremely picky eater, etc. - and now he's a completely typical high school student. I'm aware of numerous families with the same fantastic results. This approach is what quirky kids need to even out their development. It works for kids with one or multiple diagnoses as well as for kids with no diagnosis and simply a general sense that they're not meeting their potential. Do a child in your family a favor and give him or her a chance to address his issues, even if he doesn't exactly match one of the profiles in the book.
- As an educator, this provides me the inspiration and tools to support my students in truly develop their brains. As a parent, this program and tools have set my child up for lifelong success. These principles and strategies that are focused on brain plasticity and functional neurolgy, provide hope, recovery and lifelong balance.
- A very informative easy read with practical suggestions on how to see where your child might have a disconnect and how you could help them to make those connections. I am a speech therapist and I find the information useful to help my clients. It would also be relatively easy for a parent to pick up and understand. It has also helped me further my understanding on what the brain balance program is.
- Not impressed. As someone with a Bachelors degree in Moderate to Severe disabilities, this book has very many FALSE facts about Autism.
- I also just finished listening to this book on Audible and was so filled with hope for the many, many, many souls who suffer from any measure of Autism, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, OCD, etc, I purchased the paper copy in order to get a more thorough look at it!
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with any of these issues, I recommend you take a look at it for yourself!
I'm not crazy on 100% of the food chapter, however, as the author still recommends adherence to the Food Pyramid. - The books is better than my meeting was with the Brain Balance people. Still deciding whether to enroll my child or do the at home method.
