Review

Praise for the work of Dr. Robert Melillo:
"A visionary new approach...These valuable clinical ins add

"Clinically innovative and academically grounded...brings a
refreshing, hopeful, and scientifically responsible approach to
the field of childhood neurological disorders."

"Dr. Melillo is a true visionary in the area of childhood
developmental disorders, and autism in particular. I have met
with children and families whose lives have been transformed by
his work. I know that his latest book will be another useful tool
that will help others learn about and possibly prevent autism in
their children in a way that only he can."
--Zac Brown, Grammy Award-winning musician and founder of Camp
Southern Ground
"Dr. Melillo's books are a ray of hope. Jam-packed with
scientifically grounded information on brain function and its
behavioral correlates, they provide satisfying explanations that
parents recognize as relevant to their experience. And because
his work is further tied to a simple intervention program, it has
the power and potential to revolutionize the field."
--Michele Denize Strachan, MD, behavioral pediatrician,
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, University of Minnesota
"Dr. Robert Melillo is one of those rare individuals who can
unravel the seemingly unsolvable mysteries of neurobehavioral
development with wisdom, compassion, and vast perspective. His
unique, groundbreaking, and research-based approach to improving
brain function introduces the process of unlocking each child's
potential."
--Pamela D. Garcy, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and professor of
cognitive behavioral therapy, Argosy University, Dallas
"Dr. Melillo, one of the world's leading experts in childhood
developmental disorders, has organized the best scientifically
referenced source of risk factors for autism, which all future
parents should know about. His book is a must read."
--Datis Kharrazian, DC, DHSc, MS, MNeuroSci
"Dr. Melillo presents a very clear and educational view of how a
child's brain grows, from the bottom up...This is without any
doubt an amazing theory that will stimulate a great number of
research protocols."
--Dr. Calixto Machado, M.D., Ph.D., FAAN, president, Cuban
Society of Clinical Neurophysiology"
"Whether ADHD, autism, dyslexia or any number of neurobehavioral
disorders affecting children, it is clear that what finally
manifests represents the conspiracy of multiple events. As such,
pursuing a multifaceted therapeutic approach as has been so
deftly presented by Dr. Melillo offers up a welcome and
efficacious contrast to the myopia engendered in ceutical
mono therapy."
--David Perlmutter, MD, New York Times bestselling author of
"Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar
Your Brain s Silent Killers"
I have worked closely with Dr. Robert Melillo and the Brain
Balance team for many years. I have seen firsthand the
transformations in the lives of the children they serve. Brain
Balance not only focuses on correcting their own unique
neurological challenges, but emphasizes the whole of each
child from their individual tional needs to their need for
special daily activities to embracing and enhancing their family
life.
