Many children with learning disabilities also have asthma and allergies.   Learning Hyperlinks feels that it is important to try to deal with medical struggles before addressing learning struggles because the medical problems can often cause learning problems to persist.  Ms. Cutler's book takes the position that people can get rid of asthma and allergy problems, rather than just having to cope with them.   Brain Integration Therapy would then be a follow on activity.

This book addresses some of the reasons that children might be complaining, cranky, slow learners, aggressive, hyperactive, unwell, or depressed.  Dr. Rapp believes that allergies can cause brain chemistry problems.

Dr. Eric Braverman, a leading figure in the practice of brain-body health care, reveals the dramatic impact that proper brain nourishment can have on the quality of our lives.

Hypoglycemia is not easily diagnosed medically, but a change in diet can tell you easily if you are on the right track. This book also establishes a connection between allergies and hypoglycemia. Several diets are offered so you can pick and choose. I highly recommend this book for parents of children who display  Jeckle and Hyde behavior. If your child has also taken many courses of antibiotics, you should also check out The Yeast Connection by Dr. William Crook.

Riley (The Defiant Child and The Depressed Child) offers answers as to why some children are especially prone to violent meltdowns, paired with techniques that train a child to avoid such outbreaks. According to Riley, a clinical psychologist, there are several reasons a child may explode: a kid with road map issues may become unglued when confronted with anything unexpected, while a child with unknown allergies can be adversely affected by certain foods. A child may be defiant and in need of discipline, or suffering from ADHD and in need of special handling. Once parents determine why a little one explodes, the book offers appropriate solutions for modifying the behavior. ---From Publishers Weekly
