What Is Neuroplasticity?

Neuroplasticity refers to the capacity of the nervous system to change its structure and its function over a lifetime in reaction to environmental interactions. When we engage in new experiences or learn something, a healthy brain begins to create new brain connections which represent learning. These connections continue to be strengthened through repetitive use and practice. When the brain connections are strengthened, it becomes easier for us to do a specific task. 

Every single neuron in the brain can form up to 10,000 connections with other neurons and those links can change, based on the things we do most. When we learn a new move, the pathway is temporary, forged by chemicals surrounding the neuron. As you practice over and over, day in and day out, those chemical changes become structural. Over time, neurons will actually change shape and shift their position. As the pathway becomes more fixed, connections between different brain regions strengthen.

Thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain has the ability to recover from conditions such as ADHD, sensory processing disorders, poor motor coordination, etc.

"Our son became more stable and less reactive. He is calmer, and has fewer emotional outbursts."

We decided to try Dr. Jerry's program for our 13 year old son Patrick in December 2020. Previously, we had tried ADHD medication, as well as social skills therapy and counseling, all of which did not work for him. He was often anxious, and had a low level of self confidence, despite his involvement in activities and academic achievement (up until Middle School).

We reached out for help primarily because Patrick was having difficulty focusing in school, completing homework, and in general applying himself. It was very difficult for him to start his homework, let alone finish it in a timely fashion. Patrick would partially complete his assignments, and then become frustrated and give up. It was a nightly battle to get him to do all of his work. Another factor was his disorganization to even know where to begin. He would also become extremely emotional, as his frustration level increased.

Once he started Dr. Jerry's program, Patrick's progress was slow but steady, and we began noticing improvements in roughly 8 weeks. One of the first things we noticed was that Patrick became more stable and less reactive. He was calmer, and had fewer emotional outbursts. As time went on, the improvements became more significant, as he started being able to sit and complete homework assignments, as well as finishing in-school classwork in the allotted time. Since completing the program, Patrick is much more conscientious about the work he needs to do for school, and usually does it without us even reminding him. Overall, his grades have improved, and he is much more consistent. His confidence has grown, as he has taken ownership of academic progress and achievement. On a personal note, Patrick is also doing well socially at school, and is enjoying his extracurricular activities.

We'd like to thank Dr. Jerry for always being available to answer our questions and for staying involved in the whole process. He encouraged Patrick to persevere, and always kept him up to date on his progress. We are truly grateful for Dr. Jerry for helping Patrick mature and develop.
