A little piece of heaven

There are days when I just can’t sleep. My brain is searching for something. The answer/vision is almost tangible, yet so elusive. I reach out…but nothing’s there.

I feel I am missing something. I have all of the pieces of the puzzle…but they are all still pieces, separate and disjointed, there is no unity.

I have learned a lot about brain development and brain plasticity. I have learned about nutrition. I have researched and tried all sorts of therapies. We have given Nathan so many supplements to improve his brain and immune function. It’s all right there…all of the pieces…so why is the puzzle not coming together?

I tried putting it together: Marcela’s views on rehabilitation. Pretty much everything on that list, we’ve tried: Alternative therapies.

What am I missing? Why is it still so disjointed?

Am I supposed to start a Center that integrates everything and weaves many of these approaches into a cohesive program? Am I supposed to offer these different therapies to Nathan at different times, in “intensive” blocks so he gets a bit of everything? Do I need to pick one and just stick to it, ignoring the other pieces of the puzzle? What is it that I’m supposed to do with all of this knowledge? How do I best help my son? How do I best help other brain injured children?

It feels that whatever this “puzzle” becomes is intrinsically connected to my life’s mission.

Now if only I could dream the vision.

HelpKidzLearn

I went to check it out today and LOVE it! It has all sorts of games that I know Nathan will love.

For this to work for your child, you will need:

– Switch interface
– Switch

What’s great about it, is it helps the child develop the ability to “master” switch use and they can build on this to learn scanning and other activities.

Happy playing!
