Dr. Michael Merzenich: Neurological Corrections for language impartement



Dr. Michael Merzenich is one of my favorite neuroscientist. He is one of the most prominent scientist in the world who works with neuro-plasticity, which allows the brain to get stronger and heal. He believe that neurological corrections can be done in individuals with language impairment. He mentions something interesting in the video, "CONTRIVED ENVIRONMENT," which means modeling situations to train the brain to get stronger in the weak area. Which I think, this is the main reason many interventions are focusing in training parents/family because they spend more time with the child so the child's natural environment can become in contrived environment to get the brain stronger. After my self-education in neuroscience, I have discovered that there is so much hope for our kids; therefore, what parents with kids with different abilities need is money to pay for the right intervention for their kids with the top ranking specialists.  I wish I could have the money to hire Dr. Michael Merzenich to work with my boy!
