Send us a textHave you ever witnessed a child's tenacity when learning to walk, the unrelenting trial and error? That same resilience is the heart of our latest episode, where Monique Peters and I explore the challenges of auditory processing disorder. Monique opens up about her son's challenging journey, from the onset of a stutter to facing educational hurdles and being bullied.Through their story, we reveal the light that shines at the end of the tunnel for parents and individuals confronting similar hurdles, as interventions like speech therapy and dietary adjustments pave the way to understanding and growth.When Monique learned about the latest brain research from the book The Brain That Changes Itself  by Dr Norman Doidge, suddenly her son's learning challenges made sense.He did an online program called Fast ForWord® mentioned in the book, and she was pleasantly surprised at the improvements in his speech and communication.  She soon found herself working with a Sydney based speech pathologist, supporting parents who had also bought the program.  Here she learned a lot about auditory processing disorder (APD), the role it plays in learning challenges,  and how neuroscience technology can help.In our discussion, we discuss the human brain and neuroplasticity. Explaining neural pathways, illustrating how the interplay of nature and nurture sculpts our cognitive abilities. From the inspiring tales of survival by our elders to the impact of consistent brain challenges on language skills, I share anecdotes and expert insights that weave together the concept of a growth mindset and the resilience passed down through generations. About Monique Peters:Since 2018 Monique haMusic by Josh from Pixabay Outro: Music by Musinova from PixabayLearn more about booking a nutrition consultation with Fiona: https://informedhealth.com.au/Learn more about Fiona's speaking and media services: https://fionakane.com.au/Sign up to receive our newsletter by clicking here.InstagramFacebookLinkedIn Credit for the music used in this podcast: Intro Music by Josh from Pixabay Outro Music by Musinova from Pixabay
