he was not exclusively a cognitive deficit, number one. number two, he said he saw patient was developed the disease later in life, not necessarily early. and he saw a number of patient was did well with the disease after many areas. and danny is a perfect example of this. and he called the disease schizophrenia. he saw it as a splitting of the mind. as a splitting off of the feeling aspect from the cognitive aspect, from the motivational aspect of the disease. and this has become really very fundamental to understanding of the disease. and most of it, except that definition of the disease, as the one we work with. tragically, although we began to understand the disease, there was really no effective chemical treatment. and then a fascinating story developed. paul-- a french chemist began to develop an anti-histamiti compound that turned out to be useful in the treatment of schizophrenia. this is a complete accident and a number of drugs developed in the early phases of developing a psycho pharmacology treatment for psychiatric disorders c

and this didn't include people who were cognitively impaired. they surveyed older people and their children and found that 20% of those over 65 had been taken advantage of financially through unreasonably high fees or outright fraud. the lawyers for civil rights shows that 45% of scam victims were over 50, and they included 41% of the losses with these foreclosure rescue scams. one thing we'd like, which we have not been able to research. it just hasn't been out there, better statistics on this. metlife had a report where they estimated at least almost $3 million -- billion, excuse me, had been lost, and that 51% of it was embezzled by strangers and 34% by family, friends, people in the same church or neighbors, people they knew. and i'm looking forward to the business opportunity fraud because a lot of older people have lost their jobs, and they've been unemployed longer than they've ever been before, so we have done research and i'm -- my friend naomi karp is going to talk about one of the reports because although she was stolen, she did work

in this program, we're going to look at what we call cognitive development and what we can do to enhance our children's ability to think, reason, remember information, and solve problems. we'll observe children in a number of different programs-- head start, family day-care homes, university schools, and private child-care centers-- and we'll listen to their teachers as they describe some of the methods they use to enhance their children's learning. what's in there? what is that? [bell jingling] what is it? what is it? is it a sponge? hendrick: the foundations of learning begin right here because children begin to learn right from the start. the most important thing i believe we can teach our children, no matter what their age, is that they are valued. hi. hi. hi, sweetie. oh, no! ♪ one wheel's off, and the axle's broken ♪ ♪ one wheel's off, the axle's broken ♪ ♪ one wheel's off, the axle's broken ♪ ♪ now we can't ride phillip, how can we fix it? with a, um, wrench. how does a wrench work? show me. whoosh. can you guys do that? hendrick: unless children have this basic sense of self-wort

children with more mild tbi require cognitive and physical rest within the first 48 hours. federal investments in basic and translational research are leading to improve strategies for those on the front lines and i suggest taking this to the next step by including industry in our partnership. unfortunately, the reality is that there are limits to current prevention and treatment. this is why recovery is our third line of defense. one of the 15 children who suffers tbi today could have been your child or mine and they now face the long road ahead to recovery. we need to be empowered with the best tools to restore vital cognitive function and help our loved ones recover fully. funding enables innovative partnerships between schools and clinicians. these need to continue. i want to close by looking forward. recently i was selected as a hero by local elementary schoolchildren because i work to save lives. they too want to save lives. but i worry that their dreams may be stunted. we need to shore up necessary training and funding opportunities that young people need to become i

cognitive development. as our brains mature, our behavior changes. this goes along with the studies on youth crime. we note even kids who are heavily involved in juvenile crime at the age of 14, 15, 16, and 17, as they start to get older, suddenly, the behavior changes. they turn it around for whatever reason. part of it is what we call in the criminal-justice field the maturation of fact. there will age out faster if -- they will eat out faster if we do not damage them. we can make things worse by over-intervening. learning about the stages of development in a child's life and also what interventions are most effective? when to intervene is crucial. we also know that sometimes intervening too soon or inappropriate intentions can cause as much damage -- can damage the kid and increase recidivism rates. there is a lot of research about what works, what are effective interventions, and we have more knowledge now than we ever had in the past. i hope that as we move forward, that we develop a joint training sessions where we bring this information togeth

but they have the problem of cognitive dysfunction.they have the problems of impulsivity, aggressiveness, they have the impaired process that leads to social problems. one of the things states are very concerned about is a lot of individuals who have brain injuries and up in our justice system. they end up in our prisons. i hate to tell you, but it is true, they end up in its state psychiatric hospitals. that is not a place for an individual with a brain injury to be. i've spent a good deal of my time in my professional career trying to get people out of inappropriate places. but the funding for this is very difficult. there is more funding available on the child's side than there is on the adult side. we are trying to tap into the aging piece of this and get more help from the administration on aging, but it comes back to the issue of really seeing that this is a lifelong disability that impacts people of all ages. we have to look carefully what has artie then been put in place that we can knit together to provide a comprehensive serv

scores of studies have shown physical activity helps to improve cognitive function, concentration, and classroom behavior and may ultimately contribute to closing the new achievement gap in many of our schools. nahyan only should p happen because it is mandated by the state, but because it provides regular physical activity to children who might otherwise not get any. in many neighborhoods it is not safe for children to play outdoors and many families lack the resources for after-school physical activity classes. among the many reasons it is sold important, p levels the playing field and gives all children equitable access to quality physical activity and skills instruction. i want to thank you for listening to me and i encourage you to continue supporting the administration as it continues their effort to improve and -- in power -- improve pe in our elementary schools. >> good evening. i am a parent of a child whose fifth birthday is in november. i'm here tonight as i was at your last meeting to ask you to reverse your decision of january 26 to abandon the transitional kindergarten pr
