Being In control. Natural Techniques For Increasing Your Potential And Creativity For Success In School. Also For Improving Concentration And Learning In Children With ADHD And Dyslexia.
My life and my books reflect it , are about empowering people. My professions include medical research , biofeedback therapist , art teacher , and educational technology, life coach. My very first book , which I published while living in Israel, Being In Control , a mostly picture book to help students with ADHD, and Test Anxiety increase their powers of concentration in the classroom , was a huge success. Surprisingly to me, at the time , it was the number two ranked book on Amazon.com for a few weeks compared to 800 other books on special education. I wrote this book because when I was a student , having an immigrant father, I had to basically succeed in school on my own. The passion I gained about school success strategies , I wanted to pass on.
My second book , Creative Painting For The Young Artist , was another successful surprise for me. I could not paint as a youngster and did not even like to join my mother when she visited art museums. I would never suspect that one day I would teach others through art workshops or have my own pastel paintings exhibited in an art gallery. So I wrote a book on how to be a creative artist and develop an artistic mode of seeing , using experiences from working with techniques in helping students in general.
My next project was an educational movie I made transforming the techniques in Being In Control into a live movie so students can see first hand how the simple techniques are demonstrated and come to life. Granted , this was my first movie, and needs a second edition to keep up with technology- a near future project.
Then I made what was probably one of the first movies on improving handwriting. Again, along with not being a good ealry age artist , I also had poor handwriting skills. As an adult artist , with a new appreciation for beauty in all things done, I taught myself how to improve my own handwriting and published the techniques in the CD, Anyone Can Improve Their Handwriting.
My next project was Guide to GSR Biofeedback Techniques for the Natural ADHD Practitioner. Since I was using GSR ( galvanic skin response ) as a biofeedback modality in helping ADHD students improve concentration, focus , and reduce stress, I developed many protocols in how to use this modality. Anyone , biofeedback practitioner , special education teacher , ADHD parent , would find the techniques and protocols in the movie useful.
Lately, my newest achievement was the publication of a non - fiction novel about my life in Israel and return to the USA. Leaving Home , Going Home , Returning Home , is an empowering book for anyone who wants to follow their dreams. Against many obstacles, I, and other Americans follwed our dreams , and moved to Israel. This book is a road map in showing others how to , too. It is also the story of modern day Israel as I saw her from my eyes , and it is also about my appreciation and love for America as I saw her and understood her , from there.
My next project will be to improve on my movie " Anyone Can Improve Their Handwriitng" . I put the first edition up on YouTube and it had thousands of viewers. I just bought a new high definition digital video camera for this project .
