Transforming Hardship Into Hope
What does the brain have to do with my child's challenging behaviors?
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.
School Support
Collaboration with your child's IEP team is possible!
Sometimes, intervention strategies and support services are not effective for a student, especially for students living with FASD. Ineffective strategies implemented by a school are evidence-based practices that have been used through the years and have historically worked for students with varying challenges at school.
Students living with FASD have a unique brain profile that typically shows up differently on assessments and does not respond well to traditional intervention strategies schools are used to using.
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 because they are living with FASD, and why traditional interventions are unsuccessful. I collaborate with you and the school staff as part of the IEP team to bring new appropriate and effective ideas to support your child at school.
