Is that My Child?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Excellent book. It is sound and very informative. We have implemented many of his ideas with great success. I recommend highly to anyone with a child suffering from any of the disorders mentioned.
Cautiously Optimistic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
While I do not agree with all of Pauc's assertions or believe that this is a miracle that can cure every child based on the dubious evidence of a a few testimonials, I do believe the exercise and dietary information in this book may be helpful. If you read past the notion of 'cure' and have realistc expectations, you may be pleased to find an approach that moves beyond labeling and symptom management to one that just might make some improvements in the brain function of your child. The theory is that the brain continues to develop and make new connections all the time and that we can have a positive impact on its' function largely with exercises, food and nutritional supplements. I imagine the level and degree of improvement must widely vary from child to child. So while I am wary of those who pedal hope to people who are desperate, I am cautiously optimistic that this book really does have something to offer - improved brain function may not be a 'cure' but I certainly do want my child to have the benefit of it.
Breakthrough to New Understanding

This is a 'must read' for parents and all professionals who have contact with the young. Of particular signicance is the section dealing with the importance of nutrition. Food for serious thought as well as for the brain !
A label only tells about symptoms, not the causes.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Pauc's "the Learning Disability Myth" is fast, clear and easy to read. Using all the latest neurological research, he cuts through the educational jargon that gives a name to your child's difficulties, but would not get rid of what is actually causing the symptoms. Taking a health history of the child, and looking at the symptoms, he shows how to design an exercise program that will change the function of the brain. Combined with restructioning the connections in the brain he urges providing the chemical support the brain needs by the simple method of changing the child's diet. Unlike most books on the subject which fail to take advantage of the research by neurologists that the brain is plastic, he suggests methods to give your child the best organized brain possible. Pauc lets you know that a label is not a life sentence and that you can help your child.
