| Birth Trauma |
|
Even in a newborn, when the nervous system experiences physical trauma the brain begins to function as if it has an acquired brain injury. The child responds to ordinary sensory information as though the sensory messages are signaling a trauma. When the child begins to process sensory information in a safe environment during the Sensory Learning Program, he/she integrates sensory information more efficiently. The child responds and relates to his/her environment in a more typical way.
"Our main reason for coming to the Sensory Learning Center was because our son only said two or three words at age three. Within the first two days of the program, he started saying a few new words. And his vocabulary grew daily from then on. It has been about six months since our visit and he now says at least 75 words clearly! He says several more with some letters dropped off. He is also combining three and four word sentences often. He had been in speech therapy and some occupational therapy for almost a year before our visit, but I am certain that our visit to the Sensory Learning Center is what has made the real difference in his language and speech progress. Thank you!!!" --J.C., TX |
