  • Utilize the tools and knowledge in brain development
  • Recognize the brain network and connections and how these are affected in children with neurodevelopmental disorders and overall brain imbalances

  • Support the true nutritional component of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and how the food they eat can play a significant role in their signs and symptoms. 
  • Explain the effect of food sensitivities, allergies and environmental stimuli

  • Use methods to inhibit the reflexes to assist in balancing out the 2 hemisphere's of the brain
  • Test for primitive reflexes in children of all ages and outline the normal findings for milestone ages. 
  • Relate primitive reflexes to specific brain networks and connections and diagnosis a specific location in the brain that might be imbalanced and not functioning properly. 
  • Explain how the brain is essential in re-mediating primitive reflexes and where each primitive reflex is controlled in the brain.
  • Suggest:
  • Utilize appropriate techniques in examining infants including testing primitive reflexes, properly interacting and controlling the exam of an infant child. 
  • Discuss what drives behavior in adults and how this relates to brain development of a child and ultimately, the brain health of an adult.
