Multi-Sensory Therapy
The Multi-Sensory Therapy is a way to enrich the sensory environment of a person that makes the brain want to grow and repair itself in the process.
Note that most of the sections are self-contained, however, we did write each section assuming you will be familar with the material covered in the previous sections.
Each page below outlines one aspect of Multisensory Therapy. When I wrote them I tried to strike a balance between being concise and giving you enough detail to paint a clear picture for you. While you read these pages, if you have any comment or questions, use the comment form provided. I read all comments left on this web site personally.

7 Keys to Success: Equipment
In most cases, what you have at home will do. Sometimes we will need to make sure you understand what a game requires to make sure its effects are not diluted.
Repair weak brain zones by growing healthy ones
We know how the brain responds to short pleasurable experiences when it is healthy. All the close neighbors will benefit from the growth of brand new cells in that healthy area of the brain, including the “broken” ones we are really interested in.
