Yes, it's amazing to realize how old memories can be the source of today's troubles. <br />Do you know that the chapter on trauma is available as a free download on my book website? It's at this link <br />http://educateyourbrain.com/trauma-recovery.html<br />You can share it with anyone you like, at no charge.<br />With sincere appreciation for your comments,<br />Kathy BrownWhole-Brain Living and Learninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577161922046547486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819129840505860131.post-75906097508579439712016-08-23T21:56:24.789-07:002016-08-23T21:56:24.789-07:00hello,kathy.

Just this short warm-up is such a gift to so many!<br />You’ve inspired me to visit your blog, which is lovely. However, I don’t seem to be able to access your back articles. Can you suggest how I can do that?<br />Warm regards,<br />Kathy Brown <br />Whole-Brain Living and Learninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577161922046547486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819129840505860131.post-67929694373240177172016-08-09T08:27:00.292-07:002016-08-09T08:27:00.292-07:00Dear Dr. Palmer,
Thank you for your valuable com...Dear Dr. Palmer,<br /> Thank you for your valuable comments on how to construct a simple assessment that can produce data. <br /> I’m a storyteller at heart. I have never taken a very scientific approach toward “validating” the Brain Gym work, focusing instead on personal narratives, and leaving developing data to others. <br /> Client sessions in my own office are focused entirely on the child I’m working with and meeting his unique goals for that day (often limited by his attention span), and so do not offer the opportunity to collect the kind of repeated oral reading samples you describe. <br /> Perhaps it’s time for me to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship with a nearby school or agency that will allow me to do pro bono work with some of their students and gain data at the same time. Perhaps others will be inspired to do the same! <br /> I appreciate your comment that “Brain Gym deserves and requires supporting data in order to be taken seriously,” and that you would take the time to offer such a concrete suggestion.<br />Warm regards,<br />Kathy Brown Whole-Brain Living and Learninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577161922046547486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819129840505860131.post-58154043537216151322016-08-08T18:56:02.919-07:002016-08-08T18:56:02.919-07:00Anecdotes are strengthened tremendously when some ...Anecdotes are strengthened tremendously when some data is presented to support otherwise vague descriptions. For example, Curriculum-Based Assessment is direct and simple. Just count the words orally read correctly per minute three times as a baseline (use the middle/median score as the score of record. Follow-up with one-minute samples following the intervention (again 3 times). State the reading grade-level of the reading material and age/grade of the pupil. Data is fundamental and powerful. Without data talk is just that--talk. Data gathering using CBA is efficient. Literally, what is measured is what counts (no pun intended). Count words anytime a child reads for any length of time (recording is a good practice for exact measurement during reading). The difference between anecdote and reporting data is the difference between chat and science. Brain Gym deserves and requires supporting data in order to be taken seriously. Data is the difference between speculation and discussion. <br />Lyelle Palmer, Ph.D.Lyelle Palmer, Ph.D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819129840505860131.post-91054751578309811572016-07-23T02:18:53.556-07:002016-07-23T02:18:53.556-07:00Thank you for this.

Have started writing these'miracle' stories on my blog 'anotherwaytolearn.com' Each session is started with PACE - after which we say 'our brains are now connected to learn!' and then learning is so much more efficient.<br />Wish more teachers would do this as the school day begins.<br />Thank you for this very valuable blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097512483163534509noreply@blogger.com
