Brody

Brody is an active, engaging, energetic 8 year old boy struggling daily with the following medical diagnosis:

Sensory Processing Disorder is a condition that exists when sensory signals don't get organized into appropriate responses. A person with SPD finds it difficult to process and act upon information received through the senses, which creates challenges in performing countless everyday tasks. Motor clumsiness, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, school failure, and other impacts may result if the disorder is not treated effectively.

Verbal Apraxia is a neurological speech disorder in which a person has trouble saying what he or she wants to say correctly and consistently.

Developmental Delay is where a child is functioning at least 25% below their chronological or adjusted age, in one or more of the following areas:
a. cognitive development
b. physical development (including fine motor, gross motor, vision, and hearing)
c. communication development
d. social or emotional development
e. adaptive development

Functional Disconnection Syndrome is where one part of the brain develops late or incompletely and then the rest, especially on the other side, which is farther away, cannot properly connect with it.
