Apraxia
Apraxia or Dyspraxia is a motor planning disorder. The main symptom of apraxia is being unable to make voluntary movements or gestures even though you have the physical ability and understanding to do so. The types of movement and the muscle groups that are affected depend on the part of your brain that's involved.
Apraxia is commonly associated with movement and speech disorders characterized by difficulty initiating and completing motor tasks especially on demand.
An apraxic brain is a disorganized brain but luckily with neurolplasticity we can change those connection in the brain, make them more efficient or grown completely new connection in specific parts of the brain, which means that apraxia is treatable especially with accelerant input to the brain through the sensory system. The brain--body connection can be enhanced with multi-sensory input resulting in accelerated maturity and organization. Praxis is foundational to all other skills expected through the developmental continuum and frequently requires accelerant modalities to retrain.

Apraxia, Legally Blind, Sensory Processing, Hypotonic and ADLs
At 4 months old Sam got Hemiparesis which delayed all of his motor functions. At 10 he had encephalitis which wiped out his speech. He tried many different therapies with less than successful results. When he started with Brain Harmony, his speech, motor functions, and anxiety levels improved almost immediately. The best part was that after all of the bad experiences from the many other therapies he tried, Brain Harmony was the first therapy that Sam actually enjoyed.
“It’s a win win for everyone and it’s so profound when you get to see how something that seems so simple, after all the things I’ve done with Sam, everything under the sun, when you see something like this that is so beautiful and so simple and works at the root of the problem, it’s so gratifying that you can be giving your child something that makes them feel good.”
