Syndrome or Brain Injury Help from NeuroDevelopment Approach For Life

Dr. Jan Bedell • 25 May 2022

REMEDIES OFFERED IN NEURODEVELOPMENT

 

Dr. Jan Bedell, has been working with syndromes (Charge, Down, Williams, Fetal Alcohol, Angelman) for over 25 years. These symptoms can be considered abnormal, or indicate a disorder, or disease, but all can see improved abilities by using the NeuroDevelopmental Approach for Life.

 

Functional abilities are affected, for the most part, whether it be syndromes or brain trauma. Injury to the brain can be from a variety of causes such as accidents, cases of genetic issues or injury at birth. Both can cause under-performance in many areas of life: academic, social, and behavior.

 

What is most helpful to parents with the Neuro-Developmental Approach for Life, is that the methodology works with the root causes of the problems. Little Giant Steps utilizes natural developmental activities like those that are responsible for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers developmental steps being accomplished and thereby naturally getting connections between the brain and body formed and functional.

 

Dr. Bedell, the Brain Coach, shares her personal experience with a family member who had many issues, and how her discovery of the NeuroDevelopmental Approach for Life, she saw abilities and function reach higher than ever dreamed possible. The family member certainly out-performed all the diagnosis  or expectations of the experts!  Dr. Jan has home schooled a special needs child and can show you the way with great effectiveness and results that will surprise everyone.

HOW THE NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH CAN IMPROVE LEARNING ABILITIES Little Giant Steps, a NeuroDevelopmental Consulting Group has been helping families for over twenty years to improve the learning abilities of children, teens, and adults. We use an approach that changes the functional abilities in the brain. It may sound like rocket science, but it is actually a natural developmental process every human being goes through. Unfortunately, many of our children miss these vital steps, however, through the plasticity of the brain, can be picked up by following specific programs, many are like games, that increase learning abilities. The NeuroDevelopmental Approach is a practice of stimulating the brain with specific activities that will bring about an increase in neuro-pathways, resulting in better neuro-efficiency. With better neuro-efficiency one can receive, process, store and retrieve information more easily resulting in improved organization, short term memory, long term memory, coordination and academic abilities. If an individual has certain number of symptoms that are observed for at least six months, they typically receive a label. In our experience, help for a loved one with learning challenges is much more beneficial than a label. We work with the root causes of learning difficulties as opposed to teaching coping and compensating skills or medicating. Whether you or your child has been labeled, or is having difficulties with tasks such as handwriting or math proficiency, the NeuroDevelopmental approach offers the solution many have searched for.

Learning can be made easy! How? With all learning problems there is a root cause that can be identified and remedied. When the brain and body are communicating efficiently then sensory input is improved and the learning process can become a joy. Learning Disabilities has become an epidemic in the United States. Labels like Dyslexia, ADD/ ADHD, PDD (Pervasive Developmental Delays), and Autism. These labels have invaded the lives of children and their families and have forever changed the landscape of education. Has the joy of learning been diminished? Yes, it has without a doubt. The professionals at Little Giant Steps are trained to utilize The Neurodevelopmental Approach and have had many years of success in making learning fun again! We address these "symptoms" by using a two-fold assessment. First, using a battery of educational tests, a baseline for math, reading and comprehension are established. Next, a developmental evaluation where nine levels of development in six areas of function are assessed. This information gives the Neurodevelopmentalist or Neuro-Educational Specialist the basis for writing an individualized program. The program will address the root causes. The one common element in all learning issues, from our point of view, has to do with sensory dysfunction. Built into the brain is the element of neuroplasticity which is the natural ability of the brain to change, or repair those areas that are deficient, incomplete, or damaged. We know we can make a difference in the lives of our clients, because we've seen it over and over again. Learning can truly be made a joyful experience that will last a lifetime. "Learning Disabilities Don't Have To Last A Lifetime!"
