Carol J. Newell, Co-Director of the Family Hope Center, has traveled and lectured internationally on all phases of brain development. She has been teaching, guiding, and counseling parents of both neurotypical and special needs children for over 35 years. Her knowledge and training is extensive, highlighting full sensory integration – including visual stimulation/development and auditory processing, SoListen/Tomatis, FastForWord, language development, sign language, reading, emotional and social development, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and RDI (Relationship Development Intervention). She has also completed a 2-year fellowship course in Infant-Parent Mental Health at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. Carol leads and mentors her specialized clinical team to educate parents to improve the overall development for their child. Carol notes, “When you have a child with special needs and they have difficulties, they can't learn as quickly as neurotypical children. So we have to break skills down for them, and therefore parents also have to learn how to break down those skills and how to intervene and support them in a way that they can learn. In this episode, The Brain Possible Founder and CEO, Emily Abbott, and Carol Newell discuss how The Family Hope Center gives parents and children just that -- hope.
