Summary: In her extraordinary book, neonatologist and neuroscientist Dr. Karen Pape, demonstrates that neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to forge new pathways, reorganize functions and heal itself, can transform children's lives. Based on current research and 30 years of clinical experience, this book challenges the outdated thinking that there is no cure for cerebral palsy. These stories of children's recovery and improvements are a revelation - surprising, inspiring and illuminating, offering real hope for some of the world's most vulnerable children.
