Brain 101 with Amy Fortney Parks
Today we’re talking all about the brain!

Many think the brain is growing all the time but in fact it grows in a very hierarchical way. Listen in to learn more about brain development at very crucial stages of life!

I am a therapist who works with children and adolescents. I really enjoyed listening to your interview on Practice of the Practice. It gave me curbed insight into brain development, a topic that I love to learn about and talk with clients about!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Jamie! I am so glad you enjoyed the podcast. Understanding brain development is a topic I am very passionate about.
