Other information about me:
I have two children with autism, my son now aged 25 and my daughter, 31. The relationship of movement to learning motivated me to start the Brain Gym Consultant Course. At 2 my daughter seemed incapable of learning anything. She has completed an BA Hons in Sport Strengthening and Conditioning. The emphasis on movement and learning has greatly influenced us in choosing their education and a totally drug free treatment. Both are living with us and living productive lives. I have been swimming coach for over twenty five years with Special Olympics. Here again my approach has been influenced by Edu-K.
