🧠✨ Overcoming Dyslexia: How Neurofeedback Helps ✨🧠 Did you know neurofeedback can be a game-changer for those with dyslexia? This innovative, non-invasive therapy helps train the brain to process information more effectively, making reading and learning easier. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: • Neurofeedback uses real-time brain activity monitoring to promote healthier brainwave patterns, leading to: • Improved Reading Skills: Enhances phonological processing, crucial for reading fluency. • Better Memory: Strengthens memory retention and recall, aiding in comprehension. • Reduced Anxiety: Calms the nervous system, reducing anxiety that can interfere with learning. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤? Neurofeedback addresses the root cause of dyslexia by promoting efficient brain function without the side effects of medication.

How do we hold students accountable for their actions, but acknowledge their unique neurological profiles at the same time? How do we help neurodivergents (e.g., ADHD, Autism) build genuine connections with others and succeed in academic, vocational, and social situations? In this episode, I invited special guest Miriam Campbell, founder of Skills for Connection, to help answer these questions. Miriam is a speech-language pathologist and a social worker who works with students directly through her private practice. She also provides professional development for therapists and educators who support students with diagnoses that impact communication and academic skills. In this interview, Miriam and I discuss: ✅Why don’t “social skills” we teach in therapeutic settings transfer to real-life situations? ✅How emotional regulation impacts our ability to connect with others, and how to help kids understand and navigate their own emotions. ✅How to help kids take responsibility for their behaviors in a way that builds a positive self-image. ✅How to help kids advocate for their sensory, emotional, and communication needs and still develop the skills for connecting with others.

"Imagine a world where everyday sights, sounds, and textures feel overwhelming. This is the reality for many children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)" In our latest blog post by Sharleen Mulawin, we explore the ins and outs of Sensory Processing and share some practical examples of how each system works and what sensory tools can help your child find balance and thrive. #sensoryprocessing #SPD #sensoryprocessingdisorder #neurodivergent Check it out! https://lnkd.in/gf5WdRT9

Every skill you learn has an opposite— And mastering both is where the magic happens.   See the big picture and the details. Be planned and spontaneous. Set boundaries and know when to break them.   The real mastery? It’s knowing exactly which skill to use, and when.   You’ll know you’ve mastered both ends of the spectrum when you stop second-guessing yourself. Because you’ll instinctively know the right move for the moment.   It’s like having a toolbox: The more tools you’ve got, the options you have, But it’s not just about collecting tools, It’s about knowing which tool to use when.   Because life and business? They’re never one-size-fits-all. _____ Hey there! I'm ST Rappaport 🧠 and here to help you optimize your ADHD brain so you can grow your business without the overwhelm.

Did you know that 5%-6% of school-aged children might have trouble with maintaining balance, or in sequencing and planning movements needed to do a task in the right order? Sometimes they also find it hard to move their body in the right way, or predict the outcome of their movements 🌊 Frequently described as "clumsy" by parents and/or teachers, children who struggle with physical tasks and activities might be experiencing a Developmental Coordination Disorder 🛑 In this video, Mabelle El Koreh, our psychomotor therapist, explains the difference between a global developmental delay and a Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) 💬 -- Learning how to support your child starts with a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed therapist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored intervention 🤍 #PsychomotorTherapy #DevelopmentalCoordinationDisorder #DCD

🔎 Speech Delay vs. Speech Disorder: A Guide for Parents and Educators Identifying whether a child is facing a speech delay or a speech disorder can make all the difference in choosing the right path forward. Here's how they differ: ✅Speech Delay: The child’s speech develops in the expected sequence but lags behind their peers. With time and the right support, most children catch up. ✅Speech Disorder: The child’s speech patterns are atypical and may involve difficulties with articulation, fluency, or voice, requiring targeted intervention. 🚀 Early diagnosis and intervention can dramatically improve outcomes. Educators, therapists, and families must collaborate to ensure every child’s voice is heard—literally and figuratively. Let’s work together to build supportive environments for all learners. 💬 #SpeechTherapy #EducationLeadership #EarlyIntervention #SpeechDevelopment #Neurodiversity

Just attended a brilliant webinar on neurodiversity in higher and further education, diving into best practices for neuroinclusion. From proactive measures like pre-course screenings to innovative adjustments such as peer-led mental health support, the discussion showcased how institutions are embracing diversity. One standout example: an art department screening all students for neurodiversity, emphasising the value of staying ahead and harnessing the creativity of neurodivergent students. Should students receive 25% extra time for each aspect related to neurodiversity? (for example, if a student has adhd and dyslexia..)It's a great question that was raised during the session, along with the importance of relationships and empathy. Also thinking about those undiagnosed, and using technology to identify strengths and gaps in talent. Language matters too; it's about creating person-centered, transformative spaces and adopting a compassionate pedagogy that supports every individual's journey. Such a vital conversation. #NeurodiversityInFE
