Stephen Schuetz had what was described as a “learning problem.”  His folks found a method called The Neurodevelopmental Approach which is locally provided by Jan Bedell, Certified Neuro-Educational Specialist.  Ms Bedell is founder of Little Giant Steps.  She left her teaching career when she discovered how miraculous this approach worked with her mentally challenged daughter. She’s also discovered how it works with those who are typical or gifted.  After 20 years of serving families, successes with kids who struggle with learning, has been the fuel by which she’s continued to teach parents how to change their kid’s lives for the better. Life is more than academics, which is generally the focus of The Neurodevelopmental Approach. Steven has been delighted with a by-product of getting more efficiently “wired!” (which includes doing activities that increase the neuro-pathways in the brain and results in higher neuro-efficiency and faster communication between the brain and body.) By the way, his academics have sky-rocketed, too!  Here’s his story:  

Life Can Be More Than Just Improved Academics

“I can’t believe how much this program has helped me.  It changed my life!  Immediately in the sports I can see the ball traveling at 65-70 mph coming straight at me and I can hit it.  My stats were 21 at bat and 15 hits and that is incredible for me.  I think I was one of the best on the team.  I went from the bottom of the batting order to close to the top!”                                     Steven Schuetz, age 14.
