Description

Your work with children who present with complex trauma, neurological, and feeding issues can be challenging – from correctly assessing the root cause to providing the proper treatment for long-term success.

Watch today’s leading experts in pediatric rehabilitation and treatment to discover how to accurately identify these challenges. By examining neural pathways in the brain and learning new ways to reroute connections, your work can be much more effective and rewarding.

In this Course recording, you'll to become a leader in your field, elevate your practice with state-of-the-art advancements, and revolutionize your assessment and treatment of children with disorders such as:

  • Complex Trauma
  • Autism
  • Sensory Processing
  • ADHD
  • Complex Feeding
  • Dysphagia

We will practice innovative, evidence-based tools to treat complex trauma along with neuro and sensory delays. You will learn physiological interventions for dysphasia, gastro-intestinal and respiratory issues that underlie food refusal.

Don’t miss this comprehensive online training to fill your toolbox with lifechanging interventions that remap pathways in children’s brains for faster, longerlasting outcomes!
