Welcome to the Brain FUNdamentals Blog!

I began this blog in May 2020 while working as the Lead Coach and Educator at Brain Fit Academy Inc. Today, I’m excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences—only now, I’m writing from the perspective of my own company, *Brain FUNdamentals LLC**! While the name has changed, my passion for this work remains the same!*

Hope

He did it.

My son graduated from high school yesterday.

Now, you might be thinking- “That’s great Amy, but tons of kids graduate from high school every year!”.

But here’s the thing that’s different for us- for my son- for my family.

Sense of Self

When you think about the phrase "sense of self", what image does that conjure up for you? Maybe you think about yourself, and what your place is in the world. Maybe you think about your child and about how they see themselves. Or maybe you're like me and think of someone going off to "find themselves".

The Road Ahead

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post that was difficult for me to write, but also very real and honest to where I am right now. I wrote about how I still don't fully accept my son and his diagnosis.

Acceptance

Acceptance is hard. The hardest.

Labels

We have clients come to Brain Fit Academy with a variety of "labels". As I wrote about in my post titled "There's Someplace Else", we often have families come to us after they have tried other methods, therapies, and modalities. We are the "someplace else" that often seems to come further along on a family's journey to help their child.

“My Brain and Body Aren’t Friends”

"My brain and body aren't friends. They don't like to say sorry to each other". This is what my six year old client said to me as we sat outside on the step. He had been having a difficult time during our session and this young child was trying to articulate a confusing concept to a six year old- that his brain and body don't feel connected.
