Brain Development 101

I've received a lot of emails and questions regarding a post that I wrote earlier about a therapy program that I have on my daughter at home. For those who live in California, if you are interested, Donna Bateman will be coming in January to do a seminar. Attending this seminar would more clearly answer any questions you have. If you can come, it may be worth the $90 for you. At the seminar I attended, there were people from Sacramento who had driven up for the day. If you are interested in having your child evaluated, I would contact Donna to schedule that, or even just talk to her to get a feel for it all before even deciding if you want to go to the seminar. I'm just putting it out there for you all. Here is the flier that I received (a little altered to fit into a blog format here) from Patty Ezell (who is the contact person here in the Bay Area). Who knows? This could be what you're looking for...or you could think it's a load of hay. If you're on the fence about it, she comes to this area roughly every 6 months, and you can always call her or Patty...or me.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are ready to get back into the swing of things again! :)
