| Active Healing begins with a multi-day orientation
and evaluation. First, the parents attend a comprehensive orientation
that includes an overview of the Active Healing Process. The parents
review the factors that contributed to their child’s diagnosis
and learn how an Active Healing program can heal their child.

Due to demand our August free screenings are full, the next available free screenings are September 13, 2008.
Active Healing then evaluates the child’s skills of vision,
touch, hearing, movement, and language and hand function to establish
the child’s level of proficiency. “The Ontogeny of
Human Neurological Functions” is the measurement standard
by which these skills are quantified. The results identify the
developmental stage at which the initial injury occurred and thus
the point at which the Active Healing program must begin.
The Active Healing therapist constructs a program of elements
that will develop the child’s brain from the earliest stage
at which there is evidence of an injury.
Core elements could include: various methods of patterning,
crawling, creeping, brachiating, suspended inverted rotation, basic
vision and audio-visual entrainment.
Once the program is established, the parents are trained to conduct
all the various elements of their child’s program. We believe
that parents are uniquely qualified for the role of central therapist
and therefore we require their participation. Once the parent training
is complete, the family returns home to conduct the initial contact
period. Experience has shown that 90 contact hours, between parent
and child, are needed before improvements are measurable. Generally
the initial contact period is completed after approximately 13
weeks. At which point, the family should return for a re-evaluation.
