Free ConsultationParent training is the most important aspect of working with children with a brain based disability. We coach parents in understanding the concept of facilitating activities at a “neurological threshold” dosage to see immediate improved results in attention and focus to complete an activity.
In simple words, we show them a few tricks of pairing sensations to get the desired results in a shorter amount of time. These results last for a few hours.
To achieve permanent changes to brain function, we help parents embed these activities into their daily routine so they are not seen as “extra” work.
Did you know that there is something that you could do right now that would have an immediate positive effect on your brain, including your mood and your focus?
And what if I told you that same thing could actually last a long time? And can also protect your brain from different symptoms like impulsive behaviors, mood swings, anxiety, poor memory, poor problem solving.
Would you do it?
READ MOREPlayground to Learn approaches learning from a neurological perspective within a framework of “What Works for the Brain” or principles of “neuroplasticity”. The picture to the left shows the building blocks for brain functioning and learning. When any of the building blocks are not functioning adequately, skills that are dependent on it suffers. One of the reasons they don’t function at a level they are capable of functioning is negative emotions like stress, worry and anxiety to name a few.
These negative states unconsciously trigger the survival response to ensure your safety above all. You either Fight, Flee and Freeze in the spot. Children with special needs perceive danger when there is no danger and learning is hindered. When you are in “survival mode” you are not in a “learning mode”.
The picture on the left demonstrates our treatment rationale where everything is based on a solid foundation of feeling SAFE. The table below explains the steps we use to prepare the brain for learning.
