No problems

Every parent who has a child with any degree of a behavioral and/or learning disorder should run and not only purchase Disconnected Kids but this book as well. Dr. Melillo's first book, Disconnected Kids presents a new, noninvasive way of helping children given the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other neurological disorders. I can't comment of the Brain and Balance Centers as we are fortunate to live in NYC and were able to be seen by Dr. Melillo himself.Over the past 4 years have spent a FORTUNE on so many different kinds of doctors and therapists to help my now 7 year old son but he was just getting worse. We couldn't figure it out. He was diagnosed to have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Disorder and Food Sensitivities. All the doctors we saw were the tops in their field and even though some provided temporary improvement along the way, none ever addressed what I now clearly understand to be my son's root problem: an imbalance between his right and left brain functions. As I read through the books, I not only got a deeper understanding as to why my son is having the struggles he is having, but discovered simple noninvasive ways to treat them!After seeing Dr. Melillo, we have tremendous clarity, specific exercises for our son's imbalances and equally important, a strategy to help our family heal! (Reconnected Kids)For anyone who has struggled with a "special needs" child, you know how all consuming it can be and the toll it takes on your marriage/partnership and family is undeniable. No matter how well-intended parents are, the family often gets thrown out of whack. In the sequel, Reconnected Kids, Dr. Melillo presents a simple plan with clear guidelines to help bring structure back to an often "broken" or "injured" family. My husband and I are already incorporating Dr. Melillo's suggestions into our family dynamic because we understand that as treatment progresses and our son's brain improves, he will need need clear boundaries and expectations. It sounds obvious but when your 7 year old's brain is causing him to exhibit the behavior challenges of a 3 year old, trust me…. it can get tricky.
