ARTICLE Special Needs Kids Find Hope at Super Kids Social Sensory Center ARTICLE
Special needs kids find hope at at Baby Power
Everett Herald
By Kristi O"Harran
August 24, 2009
Snohomish County is dotted with organizations, medical professionals, support groups, teachers, therapists and clubs that aim to help children with special needs.
Whether it's a highly publicized agency or a heartwarming group that offers a monthly dance for the disabled, all serve their clients.
In a small corner of an Everett strip mall, Becky Blake works with children with autism and challenging neurological conditions, aiming to improve their lives.
She has supporters who believe her methods are working for their children.
Baby Power Super Kids, 607 SE Everett Mall Way, is a learning place for all children, but Blake's focus is on children with special needs.
Autism is a complex developmental disability, according to the Autism Society of America, that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects the ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees.
Blake has a bachelor's degree in human services and an associate degree in special education. She became a certified screener and intern through the HANDLE (Holistic Approach to Neurodevelopment and Learning Efficiencies) Institute in Seattle.
Blake applied techniques in her own home with her son who has Asperger's syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, and said HANDLE ideas were successful with her child.
Through the HANDLE Institute, she learned about the brain, learning, nutrition, organized movement and parenting. She has a child who is bipolar, and her daughter has sensory issues.
She helped her three children achieve all they could, Blake said. She shares what she learned with anyone who will listen.
Blake plans to speak about her program at 7 tonight at ARC of Snohomish County, 2500 Hewitt Ave., Suite 300, in Everett. For more information about her Everett program, call 425-493-5303.
Lisa Nielsen, who lives in Stanwood, met Blake at ARC a year ago.
“I knew when the meeting ran over an hour past the scheduled time she would be able to help my daughter,” Nielsen said. “I have a daughter with bipolar, autism and anxiety and have been through many different therapies and treatments that have not produced near the results that have transpired since working with Becky.”
Mariah, 7, spent two hours a week with Blake, plus summer camp.
“I have noticed Mariah is much more aware of her body and tells me when she needs help,” Nielsen said. “We have learned a lot about how Mariah perceives the world and what can help her. The relationship Becky has with the kids is amazing.”
Eloise Reinders of Everett said her son was diagnosed with autism. He began Blake's program in December when he was 4. He was also in a pre-kindergarten program through a school district, but Reinders wanted more, she said.
“Becky was a shocking answer to prayer,” Reinders said. “We immediately saw results when we put him in her program in increased speech, increased social interaction. And the most clear was his ability to bring his focus in so well that he learned to navigate his bike. The bike was pivotal for us because his right and left brain were finally working together, as we saw in his steering skills, something he had none of prior to Baby Power.”
The Reinders family wanted to give their son as much help as possible in his early, most impressionable years, she said.
“The environment Becky provides is well thought out. Her style and curriculum makes the children want to learn, to heal and take care of themselves. She is an educator for not only the kids but the parents that care for them.”
Blake gives Serena Roycroft hope for Roycroft's son, Alex, who is 5. The Lynnwood family used to say Alex was nonverbal.
Now they say the youngster has limited language.
“After the first four days of going to Becky's program, he said four new words,” Roycroft said. “Amazing. He has started looking me in the eye and saying three- and four-word sentences to get his needs met. This might not seem like a huge thing to most people, but this is coming from a child who would scream the house down all day long, and now he is actually talking.”
Blake understands parents, Reinders said, and makes sure they are all on the same treatment team.
Blake, who calls herself a neurodevelopmental educator, said through 20 years of study, she has learned techniques for issues that cause delays and dysfunctions. She will soon share her techniques on a Web site, and she is writing books.
“I have information to share and I love to share,” she said. “I love to speak at PTAs, schools and classrooms where I can share great information in order to help more families.”

ARTICLE: Life Changing events help to create powerful program!
From Anthony Robbins Foundation Newsletter
Following a life altering divorce Becky, an Anthony Robbins Foundation advocate, found herself a single mother of three special needs children. Though in a difficult situation she was determined to be the best parent she could possibly be. The obstacles she faced did not deter her from chasing her dreams. Instead she devoured Tony’s books, attended Unleash the Power Within and made a decision that would change countless lives.
Although she loved her work in the public school system, Becky wanted to make more of an impact on the lives of her students. So she made the decision to leave the security of her job and opened her own school for children with special needs. It took a lot of courage and personal sacrifice but she found that her own past struggles acted as a catalyst pushing her to realize her dream.
"Baby Power Super Kids" in Everett, WA offers classes for both special needs children and their parents focusing on a wide variety of lessons including: parenting education, child development, after school tutoring, nutrition, and more. This "program is pulling kids out of Autism and other special needs in 2 weeks to 6 months time" utilizing the tools Becky learned from Tony. Her passion has created a safe place for the families where they can learn the tools for success in a comfortable, understanding environment! Today hundreds of families benefit from the selfless work of one woman who had a dream and wanted to GIVE BACK. "My life is about contribution," Becky shares. "My life would not be where it is now without Tony’s teachings."

Woman Offers Classes for Children with Brain Disorders
(Neuro, Developmental, Motor, Language and Social Delays)
Everett Herald,
July 9, 2008
by Conor Glassey
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Becky Blake took that saying to heart when she recently purchased Baby Power Forever-Kids in south Everett (607 SE Everett Mall Way), (a Movement Learning Center) offering exercise, science, cooking and sign language classes for young children and a holistic approach to treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism Blake knows, however, that there are “huge skeptics” to this type of approach. The Autism Society of America recognizes that there is no known cure for autism and, while it does not specifically reject using a holistic approach, it does not mention it as a possible treatment option and only mentions similar options, such as art and animal therapy as “complementary approaches.”
After working in Seattle public schools for the past six years, Blake became increasingly frustrated that she wasn’t able to implement the curriculum and activities she felt would be most effective. Blake believes in taking a holistic approach when working with children that are developmentally delayed. “These kids are so brilliant and they get put in a system that’s dumbed down and then they get bored,: Blake said. “And then they wonder why they start having behavior problems—it’s because they’re bored.”
Baby Power is a franchise and not all offer a holistic approach. “When I was looking at the curriculum, I realized they have a lot of the same ideals, they
just don’t know why they’re doing them,” Blake said. Blake earned an associate degree in early childhood development and special education from Shoreline Community College. She, then, transferred to Western Washington University and completed a year of teacher training before switching her focus to human services. Now, she’s working on her master’s degree in education.
But her drive to help children with autism and other neurological disorders isn't just a new business venture. It’s also personal. Her 17-year-old son is autistic. “Everything I know is because I wanted the best for him,” Blake said. “I always hated when doctors said he would always be like this, so I started looking for a holistic approach.” That search led her to The HANDLE Institute, an organization started in Seattle that provides an alternative place for diagnosis and care of neurodevelopmental disorders. HANDLE stands for a Holistic Approach to Neuro-
Developement and Learning Efficiency. Blake is also certified HANDLE screener and parent educator.
Part of Blake’s holistic approach centers around working out the children’s vestibular system. The vestibular system is the system in the inner ear that controls our balance and equilibrium. Like muscles, the system can be strengthened by using it frequently and Blake believes the vestibular system is the foundation for other system in the body.
Blake sees a correlation between typical childrens’ activities and the rise in autism rates. “We used to go outside and play kick the can and tag and ride bikes,” Blake said. “So, we used to work out all the time. Now, kids are sitting in front of a computer or watching TV.” This is why Baby Power Forever-Kids is filled with playground equipment, tumbling mats, balls to jump in, tubes to climb through, rocking horses, hula hoops, a basketball hoop and more. Children play on the equipment, participate in stories, sing songs, pop bubbles, play musical instruments, draw or play with clay.
But this isn’t just typical place for children to run around and go wild. “Everything we do here has a purpose,” Blake said. “You can pick anything out and I can tell you the neurological reason for why it’s here and what we do with it.” Even something as simple as having the children drink water through a straw has a purpose. Blake said drinking through a straw helps develop children’s sphincter muscles throughout their body—which can help with digestion, potty training and the eye muscles needed for reading.
Blake’s program is just getting off the ground. Many of her customers come from outside Snohomish County, partly, because Blake used to work in the Seattle School District and some of her customers have followed her on her new career path.
Sabra Hernandez brings her son Gabriel up from Northgate—sometimes twice a day—to spend time with Blake. Gabriel has Fragile X Syndrome and working with Blake for the past two years has helped him progress, Hernandez said. “What I like best is that she has a highly-trained background in neural sciences,” Hernandez said of Blake. “She’s constantly helping their brains and she’s always so open to questions and is just a lovely person.”
Jody Copeland heard about Blake’s program on a message board for parents that have children with sensory processing disorder. Copeland’s son, Shae, is 3 years old and has been diagnosed with the condition. “We live in Marysville, but this was just what we were looking for for him in the summer, between schools,” Copeland said. “It’s a good place to play and have fun, but learn at the same time.”
Gloria Kruzner came up from Seattle for the session with her sons, Andrew, 4, and Charlie, 2. “We just think Becky is so warm and engaging and she’s really tuned in to every child's needs.” Kruzner said. “She’s worked with Andrew for about even months and he just seems much calmer and more in tune with the world around him, which is nice.” Andrew spent part of the day putting his imagination to use while playing with Play-Doh. “I’m making a good salad,” Andrew said as he swirled all the colors into a large ball. “I already have strawberry, lemon and orange—now I have coconut.” He added the white clay to his ball and looked for more colors to add. His salad took an interesting twist when he found brown and dark green. “There’s some chocolate and broccoli,” he said as Blake handed him back the ball of orange clay. “You made a fantastic orange and here is a potato.”
So far, Blake is enjoying the career change. “I love the kids,” Blake said. “It’s just wonderful to watch the changes and to see how much easier the parents lives become. It’s definitely very rewarding.” Blake hopes that what she’s doing will help bring some changes to public perception and more traditional ways of caring for children with neurological disorders. “I wanted to offer a place where parents can come because I wished that was available when I was a single mom with three kids,” Blake said. “The hope is out there because my family’s living proof. It’s easy and it doesn't have to be expensive.”
Baby Power Forever-Kids classes are open to all children, not just those with neurological disorders. The Center had a grand reopening June 12. Many classes are still open for registration. There is a $30 one time membership fee and the eight week classes range from $112 to $840. Siblings in the same class receive a 590 percent discount and Blake also offers free parent information nights.
UPDATE (October 1, 2008)
Shae Copeland continues class. He has made some remarkable strides in behavior, communication, vision and even academics (he is reading and writing)! He comes to Baby Power in the AM and goes to Public school in the PM.
We have kids coming from as far as Duval, Olympia, Anacortes for our preschool program where we get to the root causes of perplexing behaviors, help strengthen underlying systems which enables all children to reach their TRUE POTENTIAL!
CLASSES

Blakes 2000 sq ft facility is also a great place for parties! You can rent the whole place and every one has a great time!

Why may my child be misbehaving December / Winter?
December
This is a hard time of year for grown ups and children. There are changes in school and work schedules, in routines, in the home and school environment, changes in the food we eat, changes in the clothes we wear and even changes in the weather. All these affect our behavior. Let's look at each one of these.
Changes in schedules. There are more parties, shopping trips, visiting friends and relatives going on. To some of this, it is unexpected. This can cause some stress.
Changes in routines. School is out more then it is in, which means different people are watching the kids, whether it be in the home or longer times in daycare.
Changes in time. We have just had a major change in time that also affects us; meaning we are getting up at a different hour and going to bed at a different hour then our Body Clocks are used to. This also affects when it is dark and light outside. If you haven't read about the D deficency that happens to people in the North West, you may want to look it up. Since we get less daylight and sunlight our bodies absorb less vitamin D which can cause tiredness, crankiness and depression.
Changes in environments THIS IS A BIGGY! We change our homes this time of year. Think about it. We may bring in a live tree (I am allergic to pine and didn't know until I was 16 yrs old!). We light candles (could be increasing lead levels). We bring up holiday items from basements or down from attics. Think about the mold and dust (again allergies need to be considered). We also add lights that sparkle and some that make music. All of these things can be stressors to are already stressed systems.
We change the way we eat. We eat more during parties, gatherings and just in general this time of year. We eat more sweets, chocolates and sugar. If you haven't read about Candida, you may want to look this up as well. When we eat a lot of processed foods (breads, cakes, crackers) and sugary foods we can be feeding the bad bacteria in our guts, which can cause an overgrowth of that bad bacteria. This can also lead to emotional outbursts, temper tantrums, aggressive behaviors and perplexing behaviors. (I believe this has a lot to do with "bad" behaviors seen in many otherwise loving children!)
We change the way we dress. We wear more fancy clothes, which usually means synthetic fibers (not natural like cotton, silk). We buy new fancy shoes to go with our new fancy outfits. Shoes can also be made of synthetic material. We need to wear natural fibers in order to ground ourselves and release extra energy. Do you get shocked a lot more this time of year?
Then there is the change in the weather. Some people are bothered by the change in seasons. When the rain comes so does the increase of molds. When a storm is coming in there could be a change in pressure (barometer) which affects some peoples sinuses and heads causing headaches and sinus pressure. We need to take care of ourselves.
We need to look at behavior as a means of communication. What is different? Why this time of year?
We all need to be drinking MORE WATER!
We need to eat 5-6 small meals a day of healthy foods.
We need to say NO and mean it. We need to get exercise and stay active.
We need to be tolerant of differences and remember that this is a time of love and giving.
Take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones and remember to be grateful everyday!

Testimonials
Super Kids Preschool (4 days a week, 2 hours a day, we saw changes in the first few weeks!)
We first met Becky Blake in June 2008 when my son, Shae, was three years old. I was desperately searching for the right summer program for him, when I came across an ad announcing Becky as the new owner of Baby Power Forever Kids, specializing in special needs preschool. I new this was an answer to prayers.
Shae had been struggling with sensory issues for well over a year. Months earlier he had been asked to leave two different daycares for biting and generally unable to play well with other kids. Even after months of slow progress in OT and developmental preschool, he was still unable to participate in a busy preschool or daycare. It took very little to set him off- loud noises, too much visual stimulation, unexpected or unwanted touch, the list could go on and on. One minute he’d be hugging you, the next he was slugging you. He was unable to control his response to stimuli or regulate his emotions. He was unpredictable at best, and unable to use his words well enough to describe what was happening in him.
To tell the truth, initially I felt hesitant of the programs Becky incorporated in her programs (Handle, Brain Gym, etc.). They were not the traditional forms of therapy I was familiar with. But I trusted her and knew it was worth a try.
Within weeks of starting the program, there was an obvious difference in Shae’s behavior. With each passing day a new skill arrived and a concern disappeared. Immediately his stamina for situations got better, and his language skills improved. Within a month of working with Becky his stress level had lowered so much we could take him into new situations without worrying what his response would be. He became curious and outgoing. As the summer went on, his struggles with playing well with others were gone, and a caring, creative friend emerged.
Where just weeks earlier his ability to concentrate on a subject was minimal at best, by the end of the summer had learned all his numbers, letters and was learning to read and spell! At the beginning of the summer he struggled to put simple thoughts into words, by the end, he was holding full conversations.
Today his preschool teacher calls him the model student! He participates in every activity, is a great model for the other students in speech, is a wonderful friend and playmate, and academically is ahead of the class. He is able to control his emotions and explain his feelings. I am amazed at how far he has come in just a few short months, and we owe it all to Becky.
To say the program Becky provides helps kids would be a gross understatement. Becky gave Shae the chance to reach his true potential in life without being burdened by these roadblocks in his body. And she gave us the opportunity as his parents to realize what a talented, creative, loving and capable little boy we have.
TUTORING / SCREENING testimonial
We started coming to Baby Power Forever Kids in the fall of 2008 on the recommendation of a friend. Our son was showing signs of sensory processing difficulties and consequently struggling with school. As a parent, I worried that my child would slip farther and farther away from his peers, both socially and academically, and after having scoured the internet for resources to help him, didn't know where to turn.
We set up an initial observation/screening and immediately began him on a program, which included weekly specialized tutoring and at-home exercises. Baby Power Super Kids sensory rich environment is perfect for him and owner, Becky Blake, makes his time there fun; he really just thinks he's going to play. He has no idea that every bit of his time there is carefully structured to meet his needs and work on body systems which need strengthened and integrated .We couldn't be happier with the progress he is making and know it's in large part, due to program she has created for him.

Other Comments: "Our son has made more gains at Baby Power Super Kids, and quickly! then at any of his other therapies!" "We are more then just impressed by our sons improvement and in just a few short weeks!" "Where have you been all of our lives?" "Becky shares all she knows, is open, accomodating and so very smart!" "She just knows what a child needs, does it, explains what she is doing and it works. It sounds and is simple, fun and we have seen results in just a few weeks!" "Why don't my son's teachers and doctors know this stuff?" "Becky was right, my non verbal son was talking in two days! He know talks in sentences. It is short of a miracle!" "My son was diagnosed with Autism by a professional. He was in Becky's preschool program for 1 month. We had him re-tested and he doesn't have Autism anymore! Her program is easy, fun and simply amazing!"

Grand Re-Opening / New Owner (Press Release)
New Owner Baby Power Forever Kids Everett; heeds Washington state's cry for early intervention.
In response to the increased incidence of Autism and the recent attention of Early Intervention, Thrive to Five and No Child Left Behind, Becky Blake, Nuerodevelopmental Specialist and proud new owner of Baby Power Forever Kids offers expertise in Autism, Child Development, organized movement, how we learn, and the Holistic Approach to NeuroDevelopment and Learning Efficiency (HANDLE®) with a program that works on the premise that all behavior is communication, getting to the core issues (not just labels) that has helped many children with Autism, sensory processing issues, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD and other neurodevelopment disorders.
Baby Power Forever Kids provides progressive, developmentally appropriate exercise and musical parent/child enrichment play programs carefully designed to build confidence and to promote child development, parent/child communication and bonding.
Ready to Learn Preschool and Super Kids Programs are very unique. They apply owner Becky Blake's experience and expertise, to assure that all enrolled students will learn the skills prerequisite to learn to read, write, do math, be social, self regulate behavior - all while having fun.
The Baby Power programs, the first phase of child development, offers parent interactive classes for children aged 3 months to 3 years . Graduates learn to follow direction as they develop a more outgoing personality, are more adjusted toward interaction with others, thus paving the way for the development of life long friendships and excellent learning behavioral skills.
The Super Kids (3yrs-8yrs) programs are designed to develop the second phase in a child's development. Arts and crafts, cooking, theme classes, gym play and science experiments - combined to cultivate fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and self expression while using creativity to have FUN.
Becky uses several approaches, but the foundation of her work is HANDLE® which includes proper nutrition, organized movement and Gentle Enhancement®. She pulls from several time proven curricula that assures all children can learn to read, write and do math.
Baby Power Forever Kids offers child/parent enrichment classes for children 3 months to 6 years old, several preschool programs, tutoring, HANDLE screenings for children aged 5 and up with mild to moderate learning challenges (not autism spectrum disorders), weekly parent information evenings and birthday parties.
Becky bought Baby Power Forever Kids to offer her approach to families in a context that validates the distinctions of HANDLE® and other applications of her understanding of neuroscientific and developmental principles and fun.
Her newest adventure is to get this MUCH NEEDED information out to the world. She has written and will soon publish several books and travels around the world training others, working with children with special needs and sharing all she knows.
