Why The Dance

I am a Neuropsychologist working with brain injured and developmentally delayed adults in Western New York (near Buffalo).

I created this blog as a platform for promoting the use of brain injury tools, “cognitive rehabilitation,” with the DD population.

Change of this sort will face beauracratic resistance and will require a great deal of organized information to counter the many “why we can’t” reactions.  I hope to build this site to become a stop-off point for those:

 Who want to comment;

Who want to look for research;

Who have experiences to share in teaching cognitive process;

Links to other Blogs and Websites related to this effort;

Finally, I want to use this Blog to promote this paradigm shift in the way we teach those born with cognitive deficits.

I am new to blogging and beg your indulgence.  For example, I am also making this a page at the top of my blog so that folks down the line can see what I hope to do with it.

I hope this page can grow to be more helpful to those of us in the trenches and so I am open to comments on both the topics and the page itself.  

I am sorry if registering is inconvenient but there are a lot of folks (do I need to label) who seem to have too much time on their hands and too little self control. 

Thanks for the visit and I hope to hear from you!
