Unfortunately, there are children who are challenged by blindness, deafness or insensate. While others may consider these conditions to be hopeless, at Family Hope Center we have seen what some call miracles with these kinds of challenges. 

What Do We Do for these Children?
In general – and in contrast to what often happens in conventional treatment, which often defaults into teaching adaptation instead of treatment to heal - therapy for these children should initially target the brainstem. We systematically and rigorously treat the sensory pathways, which regulate sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing, in order to bring about the normal development of these functions. The information carried by these pathways must be properly processed in the brainstem before treatment to develop of other functions (such as mobility, speech, manual dexterity and social skill) can be successful.

At the same time, and critically, we address the overall metabolic, neurological and physical health of the child in several important ways, including:

1. We dramatically increase oxygen delivery to the whole brain. This contributes greatly to the overall health and development of the brain, which both facilitates and accelerates the healing process.
2. We work to ensure that the cranial sacral mechanism is functionin g up to its maximum potential. Without addressing this important aspect in healing the child, the progress will be much, much slower. For more information about cranial sacral therapy, click here.
3. Since progress toward wellness depends heavily on an excellent, cleansing diet, we develop individually designed diets to increase neurotransmitter function in the brain, restore gastrointestinal health, and eliminate over-sensitivities to allergens and toxins.

We fully expect children following treatment plans like these to make steady progress on their sensory issues, as well as on the full range of other conditions that accompany them.

What are Blindness, Deafness or Insensate?
Children who are blind, deaf or insensate due to a brain lesion, profound lack of oxygen at birth or other neurological trauma have the potential to improve... More Blindness Deafness or Insensate definition >

Brain impairments associated with Blindness, Deafness or Insensate Children who present with such symptoms are usually injured in both the brain stem (medulla, pons and midbrain) and the cortex. These often-pervasive injuries prevent the child from receiving and processing sensory information properly, which in turn impairs basic seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting.

How Can We Help?
Many children with these problems have tried sensory stimulation programs that target the hurt areas of the brain, but the frequency, intensity and duration of the treatments are not substantial enough to yield significant improvement. Consequently, these children and their parents are usually taught to adjust, adapt, and otherwise cope with their injuries. At The Family Hope Center we give parents a comprehensive treatment program that is both properly targeted and substantial enough to effect real healing.
