Your “voluntary” contribution will enable her parents to give her access to new technologies that stimulate brain function. In January, Violette began “neurofeedback” sessions, and since then, significant improvements in her physical and social behavior have been clearly visible.
These sessions are recommended in pediatric neurology but are not covered by insurance. Music is part of this program. Dimitri will be delighted to play Robert Schumann’s “Träumerei” (from *Kinderszenen*, Op. 15). Several pieces in the program are in line with the style of music that is beneficial for brain stimulation.
For those who are unable to attend but would like to participate in the neurofeedback sessions to support Violette’s progress, here is the link on “Leetchi” to the online donation page: http://www.leetchi.com/c/solidarite-de-violette-6611764
