Description
Outline
Neurological Development
- Latest research on neurological differences associated with:
- Motor skills, sensory processing, language development, self-regulation and learning
- Hindrances to typical brain development
- Structural brain differences and neurochemistry in common diagnoses and symptoms
- A bottoms-up model for brain-based intervention
- Video labs and hands-on brain models
Assessment of Neurological Functioning
- SPD vs ADHD
- Sensory vs behavior
- Behavior disorders
- Standardized assessment tools
- Behavior analysis
- Easily accessible checklists and questionnaires
Build a Strong Neurological Foundation
- Sensory-motor activities to build strong neural connections between key brain regions
- Strengthen the insular cortex to improve emotional awareness
- Strategies to stimulate the vagal nerve to power up the parasympathetic nervous system
- Integrate primitive reflexes to enhance posture, motor control, and emotional responses
- Case Study: 16-year-old boy with HFA, SPD and EF challenges
- Lab: 1) Acupoint tapping; 2) Vagal stimulation activity
Using Neuroplasticity to Repair/Rebuild Affected Brain Structures
- Restore balance between the frontal cortex and the amygdala to decrease sensory sensitivities, anxiety and aggression
- Auditory stimulation to facilitate a calm and focused state
- Yoga and mindfulness strategies to reduce an overactive fight-or-flight response
- Proprioceptive, vestibular and tactile input to regulate emotional responses, reduce self-stimming, self-injury and anxiety
- Lab: 1) Joint compressions 2) Rhythmic movements
Neurochemistry’s Impact on Behavior, Emotions, Motor Skills and Learning
- Primary role of major neurotransmitters
- Signs and symptoms of neurotransmitter imbalance
- Correlation between neurotransmitters, sensory processing and emotions
- Evidence-based strategies for neurotransmitter deficits/excesses
- Case Study: 12-year-old girl, trauma history, extreme tactile sensitivities, atypical social behaviors
- Lab: Change your own neurochemistry now!
Targeting Higher Level Brain Centers
- CBT to identify triggers and manage emotions
- Behavior mapping to improve self-awareness
- Social stories and video modeling to target mirror neurons and teach appropriate responses
- Programs to improve social skills and manage physiological response to conflict and stress
- Token economy to address self-regulation
- Case Study: 6-year-old boy, off-task and fidgety behaviors
- Lab: 1) binaural beats to impact brain waves 2) Mindfulness activity to balance neurotransmitters
The Role of Medication
- Perspectives on medication
- Commonly prescribed medications for childhood diagnoses
- Supplements to consider
- Case Study: 11-year-old boy, difficulty with attention, differentiating symptoms of ADHD vs. SPD
Brain Health
- Nutrients for neurotransmitter production
- Sleep hygiene
- Nature
- Physical Health
- Use of electronics and video games
- Case Study: 21-year-old with autism, severe sleep disorder, obesity
Clinical Considerations
