Adults, Parents and Caregivers

Derived from the latest neuroscience research, this educational experience is designed for self-discovery and reflection, offering immediate strategies and coping techniques that can be implemented on the same day for yourself, students, and colleagues at the end of each learning session. Our goal is to provide a strong foundational understanding of brain function to better support yourself, students, families, and colleagues, and this program has been developed for district leaders, school administrators, wellness specialists, social workers, faculty, staff, students, families, and community partners. Our foundational neuropsychology education sessions serve as an excellent starting point for your journey into the realm of educational neuropsychology. The primary aim is to create, deliver, and facilitate advanced professional development focused on brain development and its direct influence on cognition, behavior, mental well-being, and overall student and personal achievement.

Together, we'll investigate and engage in numerous techniques to reset the vagus nerve of the central nervous system for achieving homeostasis—a state of calm stability. We will analyze and apply strategies and coping skills that look beyond surface behaviors in the learning environment. Each session will build upon the last as we explore various topics such as neurobiology, the central nervous system, establishing co-regulation during moments of heightened behavior, and examining the cognitive processes of language, memory, recall, and motivation. Understanding primitive reflex integration and proprioception training is essential for all learners' brain development. You’ll gain insights into the remarkable neurodivergent brain, including ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, highly sensitive students, and sensory processing—viewed from a strengths-based perspective—equipping you with valuable skills to nurture the potential of all developing young minds in your school. We will enjoy the journey of discovering much more about how the brain operates, the processes of cognition, and the true meanings behind behaviors. This is an introductory foundational exploration into neuropsychology—don’t feel overwhelmed; studying the brain is an incredible endeavor!

We Collaborate with Schools and Families to Enhance Understanding of All Things Special Education

We provide both group and individual sessions tailored for new administrators and SPED teachers, Teachers of Record (TOR), paraprofessionals, instructional assistants, parents, guardians, and caregivers to develop a comprehensive understanding of the laws and procedures governing IDEA and the Special Education landscape. Our sessions delve into the IEP process and Section 504, equipping participants with a robust foundational knowledge that enables effective collaboration with the school team and families. We strive to create an environment where adults can ask all their questions to fully understand the SPED process. Our objective is to deliver a high-quality educational experience that empowers both the school and families to become informed advocates, fostering collaboration for all students and promoting positive engagement as one cohesive team.

At the NeuroBalance Project, we partner with school teams and parents, guardians and caregivers to enhance the effectiveness of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 accommodations by applying a comprehensive neuropsychological perspective. Our service bridges neuroscience insight with educational practice, ensuring that accommodations and supports are grounded in an understanding of each student's unique brain profile. By interpreting cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning through a developmental lens, we help tailor interventions that are not only legally compliant but also neurologically informed. This approach promotes relevant and meaningful learning experiences, fosters positive brain development, and supports long-term academic and functional success for students with diverse learning needs.

Personal Wellness - Finding Homeostasis

At the NeuroBalance Project, we are proud to introduce an innovative and forward-thinking personal wellness Initiative designed to support the emotional resilience and well-being of adults of all ages. Grounded in neuropsychological science, this initiative focuses on resetting the vagus nerve to promote emotional stability, reduce chronic stress, and restore physiological homeostasis. Through guided practices about the vagus nerve, education on nervous system regulation, and practical strategies for self-care, we empower adults to build brain reserve—enhancing their capacity to navigate the complex and often high-stress demands of today’s working and home environments. This proactive wellness model not only supports individual health but also cultivates a more balanced, supportive, and sustainable lifestyle.

Individual Adult Consultation About Student Learning and Behavior Challenges in School

At the NeuroBalance Project, we partner with families to provide compassionate, expert consultation around a young person’s learning and behavioral challenges in the school setting. Using a neuropsychological lens, we help families understand the underlying brain-based factors that may be impacting their child’s academic performance, emotional regulation, and social interactions. Through collaborative dialogue, individualized guidance, and clear interpretation of educational and clinical data, we empower caregivers to advocate effectively and make informed decisions about supports and interventions. Our goal is to bridge the gap between home and school by fostering a shared understanding of the child’s unique profile, promoting strategies that are developmentally appropriate, strengths-based, and designed to support lasting growth and success.
