We often ask parents to go through a process of ruling out physical issues that may relate to their child's learning disability. We have found that there are many physical ailments that interfere with learning. Discovering that there is something physical that can be treated can make a huge difference in a child's performance in school.

Ask your physician to test anything that may contribute to the symptoms-Rule out: Seizures, Brain Lesions, Neurological disorders, Genetic disorder, Metabolic Disorder, Thyroid issues, Allergies, Toxicity etc. This can be scheduled along with your physical exam.

Check Convergence & Visual perceptual issues that may affect reading should be tested by a pediatric developmental ophthalmologist- Dr. Thomas Teather (Takes health insurance) 321 242-2026 or Dr Rousseau 321 253-2020.

If concerned about Motor control or motor planning problems,Sensory Integration problems, or visual motor problems- Call for an evaluation at Child and Family Consultants 321 768-6800 (Takes many insurance policies)

Toxicity and nutritional issues can be tested and treated at Total Life Counseling in Orlando- Jim West 407-248-0030 or Dr Carly in Palm Bay

If anyone in your family has sugar issues, diabetes or hypoglycemia, the endocrinologist that does a more in depth study is Dr. Mauri Cartakushansky (Dr. C) at Nemours in Orlando. 407 650-7210.

He usually asks students to be put on a 4-hour stimulant for ADHD so the children eat lunch. This way students are not experiencing low blood sugars while they are coming off the medicine in the afternoon. He also recommends that children are not given pop, Gatorade or sports drinks.

This sounds odd but when the vertebrae are out of alignment, nerves become stretched or twisted and the vital communications in the brain and CNS are disrupted. This neurological disturbance is called subluxations. This can lead to all kinds of neurological, emotional, and physical disorders, Cognitive disorders and ADHD. For structural problems with CNS see Dr. Sal Martingano D.C.
Ph. 321 729-9430 or your family chiropractor. Dr. Sal can also write orders for us to administer Balance Formula 1. This supplement helps the brain function more efficiently; easing the symptoms of learning disabilities related to visual discrimination, speech and attention.

We believe the whole child needs to be treated in order for any child to learn to their maximum potential. We like to know that the child is functioning at his optimum physically before assembling an educational intervention plan.

We partner with professionals that share a philosophy of creating healthy and innovative doorways to success.
