176 The Science of Brain Training with Dr. Henry Mahncke

Apr 07, 2025

What if your child’s brain could literally rewire itself—with the right kind of input?

In this empowering episode of Non Linear Learning, I sit down with neuroscientist and BrainHQ CEO Dr. Henry Mahncke to explore the incredible science of neuroplasticity—and what it means for our neurodivergent kids.

We break down:

  • The real difference between brain games and effective brain training

  • How sensory input and motor function impact learning and attention

  • Whether structured brain training can help kids with autism, ADHD, and Down syndrome stay focused and regulated

Dr. Mahncke shares the research behind BrainHQ and how their tools are helping people of all ages (yes, including our kids!) build the cognitive skills that make a real difference in everyday life.

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Can my child’s brain actually improve, even with a diagnosis?

  • Is there science behind all this brain training talk?

  • How can I support learning without adding more pressure?

…this episode is for you.

Because when we presume competence and lead with science and soul, radical growth becomes possible.
