Judith Bluestone Memorial on DVD now available! On March 29th, 2009, The HANDLE Institute hosted a celebration, in Seattle, of the life and work of Judith Bluestone, which some people were able to watch
via web cast. On the same day, celebrations were also held in
Atlanta, Georgia, West Palm Beach, Florida, and Peterborough, Canada. A
DVD has been created that includes these four celebrations. When we have completed making copies of the DVD, it will be available here. We expect this to be completed soon, so check back here later this month. To receive a copy, contact Carolyn Nuyens at 415-479-1800.

Judith Bluestone's:
The Fabric of Autism: Weaving the Threads into a Cogent Theory
Published Study Validates HANDLE
The July 2006 issue of the Journal of Neuroimaging published the exciting results of a study affirming HANDLE® therapy's effectiveness in the treatment of patients with chronic traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The study, conducted at Harborview Medical Center, suggested that HANDLE’s non-drug, non-invasive programs improved brain activation from hindbrain to forebrain. SPECT imagery confirmed the changes both at rest and activation (with the subjects performing a HANDLE activity called the Crossed-Arm Bounce). The five HANDLE clients, between 4 and 23 years post injury, all reported improved vision, and four of the five reported improved hearing, attention, problem solving skills, and self-awareness, as well as enhanced energy. Three of the five said their pain decreased.
This is impressive scientific support for HANDLE's precept, which is that physiological changes arise from its Gentle Enhancement® therapy that strengthens weakened systems.
