Signs to Look For
Signs to Look For:
Behavioral, Developmental, Neurological, Learning Disorders / Disabilities
Neurological disorders are dysfunctions in either the left or
right hemispheres (or both) of the brain. For example, learning
disorders are dysfunctions of the left hemisphere, either in the frontal or
temporal areas, which is more specific to:
- Learning
- Reading
- Writing
- Math
|
- Processing
- Auditory information
- Assimilating logic
|
Our approach to treatment for learning
disabilities and other neurobehavioral disorders such as ADD, ADHD,
or OCD, would be to:
- Increase stimulation to the left
pre-frontal cortex, and to
- Increase integration in dysfunctional areas in the
overall left hemisphere to improve learning.
Symptoms, Behaviors and Historical Markers
of Developmental
Disorders
While parents should never make their own diagnoses, these
are some of signs to look for if there is a concern about
a behavioral or learning disorder:
- Poor attention / difficulty focusing
- Difficulty understanding verbal
instructions
- Inability to sit still
- Upright posture
|
- Motor coordination (gross or fine)
- Processing information (decision making
ability)
- Left/right handedness
|
Keep an Eye on Landmark Milestones
Things to look for when concerned about delays in
any of the classic development landmark milestones:
-
Delayed crawling or walking, or skipping
crawling
-
Extremely fussy infants
-
Isolated play -- don't tend to show a lot of
emotion or make eye contact
-
Don't seem to be bonding as well as other
siblings may
-
Lack of non-verbal communication (social
isolation)
Five common historical markers to look for include:
- Difficult labor
- Early ear infections
- Colic
- Delayed milestones in motor
development of non-specific sort
- Delayed language skills
For more information about the brain and its
relation to neurological disorders, read
Neurophysiology of Learning Disorders and Developmental Dysfunctions.
Drug-Free Treatments for Neurobehavioral
Disorders
Studies have shown that these disorders are
less behavioral and more neurologic in nature and are related to
the structural development of the pre-frontal cortex of the
brain; main stimulus for increased growth are through the the
motor system.
Our treatments target on increasing stimulation
through the motor system to increase the development and
function of the brain.

treat, read Help Kids Behave & Learn.
