Thank you very much, Debbie.
Well, I ran a uh a very unusual kind of clinic at York University and in this clinic we had uh therapy on one side and uh neuroscience lab on the other.
And what we would do is essentially we were working with kids.
I love your expression, differently wired kids.
That's what we were I've got two of my own and I wanted to understand them.
And so we would do therapy and then have a look and see inside the brain what was going on, what was working, what wasn't working, and how could we tell?
How could we tell if something was actually helping us?
Yeah.
So we ran that for seven years.
And then the next part of the mandate was we had to, this is a very expensive project.
It was a $10 million project.
And the next part was we had to make what we had learned accessible, usable for all parents and all educators.
So we set up a an organization called the Merit Center and l encourage all of your listeners to go on our website because there's all kinds of stuff you can get for free.
It's self dash reg dot ca.
And our expectation we never advertised you anything.
We were simply doing this as a service, but it exploded on us, as uh Seth can attest.
right now we are literally all over the all over the globe.
And it's because for a couple of reasons.
Can I explain those?
I won't just talk about the differently wired kid, but all kids.
