A Whole Body Approach to Changing the Brain
At Brain Development, we aim to help your child develop a balanced brain, layer by layer. The brain is the master control system of our bodies, connected to every cell, organ and system via the spinal cord and the nerves.
Our Learning & Behavioural Development Programme
Our programmes provides you with an exercise-based, brain-balancing plan which targets the root cause of the issue. We utilise the principles of the Melillo Method TM which focuses on changing behaviour, sensory, social and academic performance.
Our programmes will help your child be the best they can be!
Based on years of scientific research from Dr Robert Melillo, it has dramatically improved the quality of life for many children and their families.
It did for my own son and that's why I want to help bring these techniques from the US to families in Europe that are struggling.
Pyramid of Learning
The Learning Pyramid idea was first mentioned by Edgar Dale, an expert in audio-visual education, in his 1946 book ‘Audio-Visual Methods in Teaching’ where he named the different modes of imparting information as the ‘Cone of Experience’, using a cone as the visual representation.
We concentrate on helping develop the first two primary learnings of this pyramid:
-
Neuro Reflexes
-
Sensory Systems
We help those with:
Aspergers
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Dyslexia
ADHD
Dyspraxia
Dygraphia
Developmental Delay
Processing Disorders
Poor Social Skills
Sensory Processing Disorders
At Brain Development, through a series of tests, we will identify your child’s symptoms and functional abilities to determine the hemisphere and functions that aren’t in balance. We will help your child build those networks from the ground up.
At some point in your child’s development, one side of the brain developed faster than the other side. It’s merely an imbalance that can be corrected over time which will bring alignment and synchronisation across both hemispheres. Rest assured, there is hope.
Brain Synchronisation & Connection
Two Hemispheres - One Brain
Neuroscience has long understood that in order for the human brain to function together, large areas of the brain with the left and right hemispheres, use electrical impulses to communicate through short and long range connections.
Each hemisphere performs different functions that allow us to react to the world in which we live. Research has shown that when the two sides of the brain do not mature at the same rate, the electrical impulses between the the two sides get out of balance and interfere with the communication.
Studies now show that this communication problem is responsible for the behavioural, social and learning difficulties we are seeing in some of our children. There is a name for it, Functional Disconnection Syndrome (FDS). It is not coincidental that children with neurological disorders share a number of these symptoms. Their only differential is the side of the brain that’s out of balance and the severity of that imbalance.
What People Say
I have been working with Lara for 4 months now. She was eagerly looking forward to help my son with huge knowledge of her profession. My son is 5 and half years old he was having lots of difficulties . I have worked with occupational therapist but they didn’t draw my attention towards reflexes but Lara told me how reflexes affect development of a child.
I started working on my son with her guidance. And in couple of months I can see good results, we still have a way to go but amazingly and patiently Lara is helping me and she is always my side .I am focusing on primitive reflexes she has taught me and we are focusing on each one. We are using the sensory system, the magical Rezzimax device is brilliant in helping my son with his sensory processing and feeling his body.
After Lara's guidance I can see my son’s fine motor skills and his speech have improved .
I’m feeling very grateful and confident that she came in my life and showed me the correct way to help my son.
