and adults post stroke or accident. Rewiring or changing the routes of
information, from vision going to the occipital lobes to the auditory cortex,
so children could see through their ears. Developed techniques to change
cerebral palsy tone, from spastic to approximate normal, so the children could
walk without bracing or walkers. Children with Down syndrome to beat the
averages, walk 12 – 16 months rather than 2 – 4 years. Karen collaborated
