Connector Rx research is on going to explain how this relationship enhancing device works. Consultations with scientists and professionals have indicated that being connected may relieve stress on the child’s motor system allowing the brain to focus on other tasks. Others hypothesize that the Connector Rx may positively affect the vestibular system in the brain. Although the reasons are not entirely clear, preliminary research has shown that the simple act of physically connecting a child to their caregiver with the Connector Rx significantly improves the child’s ability to resonate with the caregiver’s experiences, and integrate this information to respond appropriately to environmental and social signals. The result is an improvement in the child’s relationship skills and in their ability to focus and learn from their social environment. |
