Announcing ...
The re-release of Cecilia (Freeman) Koester’s first book:

I Am the Child: Using Brain GymŪ with
Children Who Have Special Needs


I Am the Child Book cover PROOF-1
This book is the story of eleven children who have complex developmental needs. Over a two year period, Koester journaled her experiences as a teacher in a public school classroom, drawing out the gifts of these children. The result is this remarkable book which invites the reader into a unique world of the child who has multiple challenges. This book offers a simple, commonsense approach to the fulfillment of sensory and perceptual needs through the activities known as Brain GymŪ. The author shares with us an authentic story of the human spirit––one filled with joy, frustration, compassion, and growth.
