Kevin's Healing Journey: Reflex Integration with Lasers

Reflex Integration with Lasers

Bonnie Brandes traveled to FHC on Wednesday to teach Matthew and his team a new laser reflex therapy. Quantum Reflex Integration (QRI) uses a low level laser (also known as soft or cold laser) combined with reflex integration techniques. We had the good fortune of being in the right place at the right time and Kevin and several other kids from our visit were able to receive a treatment. Bonnie worked with Masgutova’s Neuro-Sensory –Motor Reflex Integration which is part of our treatment program that we currently do with Kevin on a daily basis. But she has taken it a step further by combining it with lasers to achieve better and faster results. We are very interested in this new treatment but the laser is an expensive device to purchase, so we want to follow it closely for a few months before making a decision. But it sounds like a very beneficial way to help Kevin’s development progress. To read more about this treatment go to www.reflexintegration.net

My Blog

This blog was created to keep our family and friends updated on Kevin's healing journey. It is also our hope that others may find this blog to give help and hope to other delayed kids.

About Kevin

They told us Kevin would never walk or talk. But with lots of prayers, hard work, and extra hands, he began walking when he was four years old and we continue to have faith and hope as we wait patiently for his speech to develop. Kevin is now eight years old. He is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy due to a brain-injury he had before birth that was caused by a stroke. In 2006, before Kevin was 2 years old, we found Glenn Doman’s book "What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child" that had answers to help children with special needs and developmental delays. We began an individualized home treatment program for Kevin immediately and have been dedicated to our program ever since. We spent three years with the Doman family at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP) and now we are with Matthew and Carol Newell at The Family Hope Center (FHC). Twice a year we return to Philadelphia where Kevin receives a neurological evaluation to determine the progress he has made in the last six months. Then they provide us with an individualized, program that puts me in charge to help Kevin develop and reach his fullest potential.

Do You Know a Delayed Child?

The best recommendation we can give to another parent with a special needs or developmentally delayed child (brain-injured, brain-damaged, mentally retarded, mentally deficient, cerebral-palsied, epileptic, autistic, athetoid, hyperactive, attention deficit disordered, developmentally delayed, or down's) is to read Glenn Doman's book What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child and/or Dr. Coralee Thompson and Dr. Philip Maffetone's book Healthy Brains, Healthy Children. By simply reading these books, you will gain valuable information to help your child which will begin to unlock the potential your child has. And best of all you will learn that there are other options to helping your child that you can do yourself. We would also highly recommend attending the parent course at FHC or IAHP. To read how our journey began and the successful progress Kevin has had refer to the January 2010 blog archive.
