Building Better Brains
( For Brighter Tomorrows )
Dr. Leah Light is regarded as a cutting-edge Neurodevelopmental Specialist that has an uncanny ability to uncover the true root of the client’s challenge and making recommendations for the mind, body, and entire family dynamic. We offer assessments and interventions not available anywhere else in the tri-county area. We are unique because the assessments we utilize are focused on pinpointing where the root cause of a specific challenge lies. Our focus is not simply to identify a problem, but to uncover its origin in order to assign an effective, targeted intervention. Our goal is to improve functionality overall instead of masking the presenting problems. Unlike other approaches that address only the highest levels of the thinking brain, we use a bottom up approach that mimics the natural course of brain development.

Testimonials
The following are actual testimonials from parents of children we have worked with here at the Brainchild Institute:
I have seen fine motor, gross motor, and cognitive improvements in my eight year old son after completing an MNRI program at the Brainchild Institute. He understands more and is more aware of his environment. His balance and coordination have become much better.
My seven year old daughter completed an MNRI program at Brainchild Institute. she has become so much more independent. Her productivity at school has increased, and her social skills have also improved. She is no longer afraid to walk to her classroom alone and feels more secure of herself.
My six year old, Aspen, did MNRI and Interactive Metronome at Brainchild Institute. She has gone from being a distracted, disinterested student that was supposed to repeat kindergarten, to a happy, engaged 1st grader in the accelerated reading program in less than one year. The Brainchild Institute staff is always understanding, supportive, and informative.

I am not sure where we would be if we had not travelled from Georgia to Florida to work with Dr. Light and her team.
Reflecting on all that I'm thankful for this week, it was hard not to think of our time receiving services at the Brainchild Institute.
I thought I would share a HUGE win with you all as you have been instrumental in Johnny’s (our family’s) journey. Johnny has had struggles since our move to Texas and in his new school.
BrainwoRx camp has been a life changing experience for my son. In this brief period of time there he has become more confident
Reflecting on all that I'm thankful for this week, it was hard not to think of our time receiving services at the Brainchild Institute.
As you can imagine, Johnny is beaming. He is confident and proud. He has friends and is just one of the crowd in the best way possible but ever still “Johnny.”
There is a light in all of this and there is hope and help for families like us. Dr. Light gave us hope and that is why I made sure...
