CALM ~ INTEGRATE ~ FOCUS

Our signature online programs help to re-build the neural connections within the brain needed to fill in the gaps of delayed development. We use proven, evidence-based, techniques that treat the root cause -- not just the symptoms -- of childhood developmental disorders, learning & behavior challenges. Research demonstrates our programs create permanent change to brain connections for lasting results.

CALM for Emotional Regulation

This step helps to calm the nervous system passively. We use a powerful listening tool, the Safe & Sound Protocol™, created to affect the vagus nerve. The program calms the nervous system and prepares the brain for change. Although we recommend this step for most children, not everyone will need it.

Benefits include: 

  • reduced anxiety

  • improved emotional regulation

  • better sleep

  • better focus

  • improved language & understanding

  • reduced reaction to external stimuli.

INTEGRATE Primitive Reflexes & Hemispheric Balance

INTEGRATE is our signature program that strengthens the brain from the bottom-up. It moves your child through integration of the core primitive reflexes, core & postural stability exercise, and hemispheric sensory stimulation. Primitive reflexes are the foundation of the nervous system. They originate in the brain stem and integration of the reflexes creates the foundation for future controlled movements. Unintegrated primitive reflexes trigger our ‘fight or flight’ response which creates chronic stress to our body.  Following integration we further challenge the nervous system through focused balance & vestibular training.

Benefits include:

  •  improved gross & fine motor skills (biking, jumping, handwriting, etc)

  • better focus, attention; able to follow directions

  • improved body awareness

  • improved sensory (no need to crash into people/things anymore)

  • improved auditory & visual processing

  • easier learning, reading, comprehension & memory

  • improved social skills

FOCUS improve attention, concentration & executive function

Focus and concentration are dependent on the function of key areas of the brain. We use an at-home neural timing tool (Interactive Metronome™) to boost connections across hemispheres which improves executive function skills of planning, organization, attention, working memory, and motor & sensory skills.

Benefits include:

  • improved attention and focus

  • improved reading, organization, math

  • improvements in motor coordination

  • decreases in anxiety

  • improved sensory processing

  • improved athletic performance

  • better control of emotions, impulsivity, behaviors

  • improved social skills and language

  • improvements in processing speed

How the Program Works

For best results, we recommend moving through our program in a step-by-step fashion.

Start with CALM to prep the nervous system and bring balance between the parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic -- bringing a child out of the fight-or-flight state and into a ready-state for change. (CALM is completed within approximately 30-60 days)

Next, you'll work on strengthening the foundation of the nervous system by developing the brain through vertical & horizontal integration. INTEGRATE takes you through step-by-step written & video instructions for primitive reflex integration and brain hemispheric balance using specific sensory stimulation.

Finally, add on higher level balance & visual activities with our FOCUS program to stimulate the cerebellum in order to improve attention & focus, and executive function. In just 15 minutes per day, the movements help to improve attention, focus, working memory, motor coordination, processing speeds, and athletic performance. Focus helps to continue the foundational work by stimulating higher level executive functioning skills.

INTEGRATE members are also invited to join our private FB group where we have Q&A, accountability, support, and community.

Why the Program Works

The Pyramid of Development & Learning is a visual representation of how an infant develops and learns. Our program has your child move through this exact neuro-developmental sequence in order to “fill in the gaps” of development that have weaker connections. As you can see on the right hand side, once the Foundations, Integrations, and Connections areas are rewired to their maximum efficiency than executive functioning (ie, academic learning, decision making, etc) can operate at its optimal level.

The Brain Connex Difference

Program Details

The program will guide you through our neurologically-based movement program created to improve your child’s development. Generally speaking, individuals will benefit from 4-to-6 months of treatment to achieve goals. Best results come with clients who commit to the daily program and work with our OT.

Online Programs

Consistency & repetition are the key to changing the brain. Our program guides you through movement videos which take approx 30 minutes/day, performed 5x/week. In the comfort of your home you are able to create real change, quickly, in your child’s growth, development, and learning. Add-on individualized support with our OT for a customized program.

Cutting Edge

We have sought out the most beneficial treatments and have combined them into one program. Our programs use movements from cutting edge research in neuroplasticity, primitive reflex integration, sensory enrichment treatment and brain hemisphere balance with developmental movements to create real change, quickly!
