Dr. Amy Price
This adventure called life has brought me to Boca Sparks of Genius in South Florida, where I serve as an intern. I am working on another Ph.D., this one in England in the area of cognitive neuroscience. My area of special interest is executive function.Several years ago I sustained a mild traumatic brain injury amongst other injuries. I was no longer able to travel internationally on a constant basis so I took inventory of my life and retooled my destiny. My vision is to contribute to the area of brain science and educational leadership. I will enhance cognitive rehabilitative strategies particularly in the areas of cognition and behavior. I will also help survivor families. There is a great need for sound scientifically based cognitive strategies to replace abstract concepts. The plan is to create a solid bridge between science and emotion. It brings me great joy to see others reclaim their brains! My message to everyone is this: “Refuse to let other people define your boundaries and enforce your limitations. The seeds of greatness are on the inside of you and they are waiting to be birthed. Hold unto your flexibility and sense of humor…you will need it on the ride of life! It is seldom a smooth ride but you can be the driver. There will be falls along the way but the difference between a success and a failure is choosing to get up one more time in which ever way you can! There is a way out and we choose to define it. We do not need to be defined or limited by other peoples’ boundaries. Amy |
