Transforming Hardship Into Hope

Parenting The Brain

What does the brain have to do with the behaviors I'm seeing?

EVERYTHING.

Neuroscience research has proven that the brain and behaviors are linked and changes in brain structure impact brain function . When we understand how the brain works or works differently, and how those differences impact behavior, we can parent differently, teach differently, and build better relationships with our children, students, and employees.  Changing our approach to behavioral symptoms we see as a result of neurobehavioral disabilities can also lessen frustration and stress, and create better outcomes for individuals with neurobehavioral disabilities. 

Family in Nature

Using A Brain-Based Approach

Years of research on the brain and behaviors have shown that neurobehavioral conditions have physical brain-based disabilities with behavioral symptoms.

My unique experience as a parent of multiple children with neurobehavioral conditions and a special education consultant has convinced me that with education, understanding, and implementation, we can transform anxiety and frustration into hope and healing, and reduce challenging behaviors.

Teaching the Brain

Sometimes, intervention strategies and support services are ineffective for a student, especially for students with neurodevelopmental challenges. Ineffective strategies implemented by a school are evidence-based practices used through the years and have historically worked for students with varying challenges at school. However, each student has a unique brain profile that shows up differently on assessments and observations, which requires a neurobehavioral approach to IEPs, supports, and services.

As a neurobehavioral educator, FASD Specialist, and parent coach, I come alongside you in collaboration with the IEP team. I support you in special education advocacy by helping the IEP team understand how your child's brain works differently, why traditional interventions may be unsuccessful, and what intervention strategies may be more effective for your child's unique profile. I collaborate with you and the school staff as part of the IEP team to bring creative solutions to support your child at school.
