Summary: The Maverick Mind Syndrome
Comment: MAVERICK MIND will steal your heart away and captivate your mind with the image of a true champion whose genius has been responsible for an extension of the envelope for us all. The correct diagnosis of a child or adult who is struggling with communication issues in listening, reading, writing or speaking may often elude prompt and accurate definition and, in turn effective treatment, given the frequent camouflage as other disorders. We have found that this may be the case in the struggling medical student who in fact has the Maverick Mind Syndrome. Once they are evaluated for processing dysfunction thereby permitting proper diagnosis, we have witnessed the potential for absolutely startling improvement with treatment. I have been associated with medicine for over thirty years and with medical education explicitly for at least half that time. Nonetheless, I am able to tell you that as a physician, a teacher and a parent, the reading of the Maverick Mind and the understanding of the truths held within have changed my life. I think this experience may well change yours as well.

Summary: An inspiration for all parents...
Comment: The Maverick Mind is the heartening story of a single mother and her family tackling the seemingly insurmountable problems associated with a child misdiagnosed with a disability. Dr. Cheri Florance is an amazing woman who faced unbelievable obstacles in getting appropriate services and help for her son. When no one would or could help her or her son, she searched and did, indeed, find a way to reach and to teach her child. Her resourcefulness, resilience and creativity are awesome!
Even for those of us who have met Dr. Florance - her story remains remarkable. As a mother, I found her life to be a shining example of what a mother's love and determination can mean to a child and the unbreakable strength of that bond. Whether a parent of a child with a disability or not, this true-life story is an inspiration to all parents.
