7 Keys for Brain Repair

5.Routines

Twice a day for about ten minutes each time you will be doing brain games with your loved one. Make it a warm and fuzzy experience both times, every day.

The routines are so simple, even you can do them!

The Multi-Sensory Therapy routines, games, protocols or whatever you end up calling them, are very simple to do for the most part. Occasionally, you will get monsters like the multi-sensory memory game. This game is probably the most convoluted one we have created so far, but when you get, you can be assured that it is a good sign that you are almost done with Multi-Sensory Therapy.

Each game we give you to do will come with illustrations and possibly even videos.

We are working in that direction, but Claudie keeps designing new ones. It's hard to keep up! The illustrations and videos should make it easy for you to understand how to do them without even calling us.

An Example: Fingertip Contrast

The game shown in the video above is called "Fingertip Contrast". This game is designed to stimulate primarily two touch receptors at the end of each finger: cold and warm. We present an ice cube to each finger, then a warm spoon to the tip of each finger.

The idea is to present strong, easily identifiable signals to a part of the body that is the furthest away from the brain. Commonly, the fingertip contrast is accompanied by its close cousin "toe contrast".

These games allow the brain to develop a clearer map of the fingers, one by one, which should help it develop distinct motion and separation of movement between each finger.

This protocol takes about a minute and you're done. Your worksheets will typically include five or six of these types of activities.

This is a 7 days a week program. No holiday, no weekend!

The Multi-Sensory Therapy games are designed to prompt growth and repair. For the most permanent results, the brain needs to be prompted continually. For every session you miss, you may lose as much as three or four days worth of progress.

But don't worry too much, when we give you an estimate of how long you will need to do Multi-Sensory Therapy for, we take into account that life will come in the way of your doing Multi-Sensory Therapy perfectly well and add a couple of months for backup.

Best routines are adapted to the child, but not diluted

The power of Multi-Sensory Therapy lies in making the brain want to do the changes necessary to function better.

If we can tap into the child's own will to get better we can multiply the effects of every Multi-Sensory Therapy session.

Our job is to give you the protocols that we know will activate the right areas, associate them in the right way, re-balance the right chemistry, etc.

Your job is to find a way to make each session an engaging one. Watch the video above to see how one family has found a way to make one of the Multi-Sensory Therapy games a fun and engaging one.
