I love getting accommodations at school and that can be the beginning and the end of what you get out of a NeuroPsych exam.  I was just speaking with a dear friend who has written a book (Red Flags) about using N.R. and Vision Therapy in a school setting.  When we were talking about the […]

Neurological Reorganization has been effectively treating children who had no other hope for almost 70 years.  In the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s N.R. was used to treat the children with cerebral palsy, with brain injuries, children who had been poisoned with insecticides, children who had drowned, who had been in auto accidents.  They even went […]

Neurological Reorganization is both an old and a growing therapeutic model for children or adults with gaps in their development or with any form of injury to the Central Nervous System.  Training in Neurological Reorganization is an in-depth extended training.  We do not do two week courses, but rather a minimum of one year of […]

  Q:  A friend’s child has been diagnosed with hemiplegia.  Can Neurological Reorganization help her?

[My daughter] has already shown signs of movement and is not asking to be babied all the time; she has moved from bottle and pacifier craving to the clinging shadowing of the toddler and has shown signs of moving away from an ultra naive state to being able to realize what serves her and when […]

By Brian Mossop Don’t be afraid to put babies on their tummies when they’re awake In the early 1940s, Dr. Harold Abramson, a New York pediatrician, pored over heartrending reports of babies who accidentally suffocated while they slept. As he reviewed case after case, […]

Comment: I never heard of NR until I happened on this site. Our  childwas very young when we started OT and  they did do a lot of brain reorganization exercises like obstacle courses although I’m not sure that is at all like NR. Response:  The brain reorganization exercises  you worked with challenge the cortical brain, […]
