Understanding the Root of Neurobehavioral Disorders: A Holistic Approach
Neurobehavioral disorders like ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems present a complex array of symptoms: motor, sensory, behavioral, academic, digestive, immune, and autonomic dysregulation. While experts recognize their interconnectedness, the underlying mechanisms remain a challenge.
In this comprehensive recording, Dr. Melillo bridges the gap between cutting-edge brain science and 20 years of clinical expertise, providing a practical framework for understanding and treating these disorders.
You will learn:
The interconnectedness of motor and cognitive development: Explore the crucial link between early milestones, retained primitive reflexes, and their impact on later development.
A holistic model integrating Polyvagal Theory and brain hemisphericity: Discover how the brain and its hemispheres regulate diverse functions, offering a unified perspective on these complex disorders.
Practical assessment and remediation techniques:
Identify and address Polyvagal issues and retained primitive reflexes.
Implement strategies to inhibit primitive reflexes and promote postural reflex development.
Assess and enhance balance in postural, oculomotor, and vestibular systems.
Evaluate motor, sensory, academic, cognitive, and behavioral skills.
Employ sensory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral techniques for brain integration.
Utilize nutritional and dietary assessments and interventions.
Key Concepts Covered:
Epidemiology of mental health, educational, and neurobehavioral disorders.
The role of movement in brain development.
Brain development through segregation, integration, and localization of networks.
The impact of primitive and postural reflex development and retention.
Brain asymmetry, function, and integration, and its connection to learning, behavior, and socialization.
Detailed Exploration of Key Areas:
Retained Primitive Reflexes: Assessment, remediation, and their link to brain imbalances.
Polyvagal Theory: Its practical application in understanding and addressing autonomic dysregulation.
Hemispheric Dominance vs. Weakness: Identifying and restoring balance for improved cognitive function.
Attachment, Polyvagal System, and Hemispheric Imbalance: Understanding the neurological basis of attachment and its impact on behavior.
Hands-on labs and case studies: Apply learned concepts through practical exercises and real-world examples.
This recording provides essential tools for clinicians seeking to effectively address the root causes of neurobehavioral and learning disorders, leading to improved patient outcomes.
