Check out the Speaker Feature with Elizabeth.
Practical Neuroplasticity of the Brain and the NCS: Brain/Body Communication & Connection
The world of neurology is typically reserved for doctors, researchers and therapists. Whoever works with babies has a right and responsibility to this info, and in a practical way so that it can be used and integrated into the daily lives of babies in the way they are held, fed, moved, talked to, & nurtured.
It is the speakers goal to bring her work and her world as a pedi NDT therapist and use of neurology to all babies sooner, so that fewer have to struggle through the tumultuous current that is the world of being diagnosed and the path that that suddenly and unceremoniously tosses them into.
As NCSs, you have the opportunity to be hugely impactful! This workshop will address the WHY of some of the common developmental positioning and activities and how these actually help the brain and the body begin to connect and communicate. This in turn is how healthy development is set up and at the same time complications that will hold babyies back from reaching their greatest potential later are prevented.
