Overview

A proven drug-free program addressing the cause—not just the symptoms—of Autism Spectrum Disorders and related conditions.

Each year, an estimated 1.5 million children are diagnosed with autism, Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But even as rates rise, diagnosis and treatment have not changed in 50 years. Since psychiatric drugs, given to more than 20% of elementary school children today, don't cure them, doctors tell parents these dysfunctions will never disappear.

Enter Dr. Robert Melillo and his new understanding of the causes of these disorders: a disconnection between the left and right sides of the developing brain. His revolutionary Brain Balance™ program has achieved documented results, dramatically improving children's and families' quality of life. Since 1998, nearly 1,000 children have completed the Brain Balance™ program with remarkable success—behavioral, emotional, academic, and social. Written in an accessible style, Disconnected Kids shows parents how to use this drug- free approach at home, with customizable exercises for physical, sensory, and academic performance, advice for behavior modification, information on foods to avoid, and a follow-up program for lasting results.

    Loved this

    I just finished this book and found it very interesting. It is particulariy interesting if you have a child with learning or behavior issues. I'm shocked to see the low ratings on B&N's site. On Amazon it is at 4.5 stars. I'm a picky reader and really liked it. Also would be a great book for teachers and anyone who works with children.

    Obviously only one person read this

    All but 1 of the reviews actually have some comments. So it is obviously someone trying to skew the ratings. Thank you to the person who wrote a review. I am purchasing it right now.
