Hi! The brain is been recently known to 'rewire' itself according to laws that remain a mystery for us, yet the possibility itself is promising and inspiring.

I would add to your physical program something like Makarasana (The Crocodile, lying face down with the elbows bent under the chin and the chin resting in the back of the hands, the fingers bent) to bring some counterpostural effects. You might encounter some difficulties developing core strength without practicing some Hara or Manipur (Third Chakra) cleansing technique (such as Pawanmuktasana 2 or some of the Osho Kundalini techniques to unblock and develop the will power.

Visualization has proven to be very effective for the brain reacts to a dreamed lion in the same way it would to a real lion, and in visualizing it receives great stimulation that might result in increased 'rewiring' capability. Specially suitable would be 'grounding, rooting' images that would stimulate sciatic nerve impulses.

Regarding the teens, I suggest you look for Sonia Sumar's work (Yoga for the Special Child) for she had a Down Syndrome kid and designed a program that helped her greatly and attracted international interest. She then continue to study the effects of Yoga on ADD, Child PTSD and other syndromes.

I hope this is of help, and look forward to seeing you at the International Yoga Therapy Conference (Mat 18-20 www.yogatherapyconference.com) in San Rafael where some great teachers will be addressing some of these issues (Both Robin Monro from UK and Larry Payne from LA will address Lower back issues, and Subrahmanyam will talk about the effects of Manoyoga on kids and teens)
