Marie and Caballero,

I need to know if you can receive faxes over the weekend. I also need to know what has happened with my release forms that I filled out 4-6 months ago for full copies of any and all DHSH and CPS records of me and my son. I shouldn't have to fill out a new form and I haven't received anything, though a month before we left for Canada, I got a call and was told the request was still "processing" and being put together. So what's up with it?

Your people said my son scored low in speech and "problem solving". According to neurocognitive research, it is the frontal lobe which enables both speech and problem solving. My son's head injury was on the top of his head (frontal lobe) towards his forehead, and on the left side. He is showing all the signs of trauma from brain damage and you're denying him an MRI.

I was asking Wenatchee doctors to help my son over a year ago and they all refused. Had they done the appropriate diagnostics THEN, they could have found what was wrong, and begun "early intervention" a YEAR ago.

If Dr. Hornby doesn't think he needs an MRI, there is something wrong with her, as there has been something wrong with the entire medical community in Wenatchee in listening to me and helping my son.

My son needs a doctor from out of the area if he's not getting a referral from someone in Wenatchee.

Whether congenital or acquired the behavioral or cognitive effects of brain dysfunction depend on what part of the brain is impaired and at what age the problem occurred. Generally speaking, the brain can be divided up into different lobes, each with it's own unique set of skills and abilities.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







FRONTAL LOBE :
Problem Solving
Behavior Control
Personality
Emotions
Speaking
Moving

TEMPORAL LOBE :
Understanding speech
Memory
Hearing

PARIETAL LOBE :
Body Awareness
Feeling and touch

OCCIPITAL LOBE :
Seeing
Spatial Relations

CEREBELLUM :
Coordination

The brain can also be divided into the left and right sides, called hemispheres. The left side of the brain controls the movements on the right side of your body and seems to be particularly tuned to receive information from the right side of your environment. The opposite if true for the right side of the brain (moves left side of body and pays greater attention to information from the left side of your environment). However, just like the lobes of the brain seem to have special talents and skills, the left and right sides of the brain seem to process information differently.

For example, the left side of the brain is particularly good at language while the right side seems to be better at processing visual-spatially and tactile (non-verbal) material.




As a result of these organizational principles, different patterns of cognitive and behavioral strengths and weaknesses emerge for a number of common developmental and acquired disorders of the brain. Some of the more common ones are discussed in additional articles which have been appended to this website for your use and convenience also for your convenience, we have also attached several FAQ's.
