Disconnected Kids (Third Edition)

The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program for Children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Neurological Disorders

By: Dr. Robert Melillo

Narrated by: Will Tulin

Diagnosis rates of neurological disorders are climbing at an alarming rate. Yet psychiatric drugs don't cure the problems; they only disguise the symptoms. Dr. Robert Melillo's pioneering work that began in the 1990s with the creation of his groundbreaking Brain Balance program has brought a new understanding to the cause of these conditions: an imbalance between the left and right sides of the child's developing brain. Today, more than fifty thousand children have successfully completed the Brain Balance program and have experienced dramatic improvements in behavioral, emotional, social, and academic outcomes.

Disconnected Kids is a comprehensive guide to the Brain Balance program, which involves no medication or medical interventions but focuses instead on movement and sensory exercises that stimulate proper brain development. This updated and revised edition features new exercises and the latest research findings on how the retention of primitive reflexes plays an integral role in the development of neurological issues. Through the exercises in this book, these reflexes can be diminished, making brain balance easier to attain. Disconnected Kids helps listeners guide children susceptible to a brain imbalance to overcome challenges and allow their true gifted selves to shine.

This is the answer I’ve been looking for!

I finally have the answers to the questions I’ve had for years. I finally feel like I have a solution and cannot wait to implement this therapy!

No PDF to support the book.

I purchased Disconnected Kids on Audible and it repeatedly references assessment checklists and screening tools that are necessary to apply the content, but no companion PDF or supplemental materials are included. This makes the audiobook incomplete and not a good value for my purchase.

Speaking in circles

I skipped around through chapters after realizing he just uses a bunch of words to make a short story long. There’s a portion where he begins listing different audio and visual things and it was EXTREMELY hard to follow along in the audiobook. No pdf offered for key points. not worth my audible credit. 😕

Please get to the point

I’m on chapter ten, this book goes on and on about the success of the Brain Balance Program but it won’t get to the point of how implement the program. Super long winded and won’t get to the point. Disappointing

No PDFs

There are no PDFs attached to utilitize the check lists. This was a waste of an audible credit. I will have to purchase the book or get if from the library to be able to actually use the book. This is very poorly thought out and seems to be a money grab.
