So Much Hope in This Book

The stories in this book give hope to us all. For more than a decade I have worked with adults and children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. The usual treatments involve behavior modification and drug therapy. Little time is spent in observation and evaluation such as described by Judith Bluestone in this book. The Handle Institute's methods offer hope through its methods that have no reliance on drug therapy. This is a book for patients, family members and professionals.


Sometimes the best things are the simplest

Going through life as parent of a "special" child, one navigates a maze of physicians, experts, specialists, and amateur diagnosticians. Desperate for help, such parents try a range of treatments and tactics, sometimes destroying their families and their sanity in the process. Ms. Bluestone and HANDLE do not have a "magic bullet," but the simple and authentic wisdom in the HANDLE approach teaches us all that there really ARE honest and practical strategies to help individuals who don't fit any of the models in the medical literature. My son has benefitted greatly from the HANDLE precepts, and this book tells true stories of others whose lives have been forever changed. Ms. Bluestone's own story is an inspiration, and she brings to her work the unique empathy of one who has "been there" and found her way out. HANDLE respects individuality and eschews labels; the accounts of these HANDLE clients are compelling and dramatic. Perhaps the most important thing this book provides is hope, which is often in painfully short supply for "marginalized" people. I congratulate all these writers for recounting their journeys, and I think thousands of people can benefit from stepping into the Churkendoose shoes for a few hours. I recommend this book to those with open minds, tired spirits, and vital hearts.

Emotionally powerful

Because it's so intimate a portrayal of real-life experiences, this book moved me to tears. Each story relates, with differing degrees of depth and breadth, an individual and a family's encounter with the Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency (HANDLE), tracing their stories before, during, and after the unique therapy program. Anyone interested in addressing issues with diagnoses like autism spectrum disorders, stroke, head injury, CHARGE Syndrome, Tourette's Syndrome, Down's Syndrome -- and "ordinary" learning disabilities -- ought to read this book.

ADD/ADHD has become the malady of the decade. Recent estimates indicate that 15% of Americans have a learning disability. That the incidence of autism is rising at alarming rates is widely accepted. What people do not accept as readily, however, is that the process of the brain?s adaptation to the stimulation it receives is a lifelong process and neurological disorders are often reversible.

Through a collection of true stories written in the words of those who lived them, The Churkendoose Anthology highlights the pioneering Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency (HANDLE®), providing a new view of neurological dysfunction and new hope for its treatment. HANDLE applies neuroscience to enhance human capability and offers hope to families and professionals struggling to meet the challenges of those with neurological dysfunctions such as Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism, Tourette?s Syndrome, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Brain Injury, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and others.

Each story within The Churkendoose Anthology is a poignant illustration of struggle, perseverance, enlightenment, healing? and triumph. Together, they portray HANDLE?s remarkable contribution to the world community by moving individuals from dysfunction to function, despair to fulfillment.

The stories provide the heart of the book, and insights into HANDLE theory and perspectives are interwoven as postscripts by Judith Bluestone, Founder and Educational Director of The HANDLE Institute.

Take a glimpse into the lives of thirty people who, through HANDLE, have prevailed over neurodevelopmental difficulties. Reading The Churkendoose Anthology promises to be an enriching experience.
