And my early in my career, I worked with kids who had the spectrum disorders, I actually trained at an institute called the gazelle Institute in New Haven, Connecticut, and this was a multidisciplinary facility used to be affiliated with Yale University, and learn how to evaluate and treat all kinds of children and adults with learning problems. I also developed programs in hospitals to work with traumatic brain injury, did research in that area, and develop the form of physical therapy for the eyes.
