CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS

Childhood Developmental Disorders come in many different forms. However, many cause an inability to pay attention, exhibit appropriate communication skills, focus on tasks, or even properly take care of themselves into adulthood.

​

Functional Neurology is a specialized field that focuses on the assessment and treatment of neurological dysfunctions through non-invasive, customized approaches. When it comes to childhood developmental disorders, our clinic takes a multidisciplinary and patient-centered approach that includes the following elements:

​

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Every child is unique, and so are their developmental challenges. Our clinic begins by conducting thorough neurological assessments to identify areas of concern and measure initial brain function to optimize the patient's treatment outcome. The assessment begins with a brain map or a qEEG, that analyzes brainwaves to determine if there are any underlying areas of dysfunction.

2. Customized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment findings, we create personalized treatment plans tailored to each child's specific needs and goals. These plans often involve neurological exercises, approved technology-based therapies, sensory integration activities, dietary considerations, and lifestyle modifications. 

3. Brain-Based Rehabilitation: Functional Neurology emphasizes brain-based rehabilitation techniques. We utilize exercises, activities, and therapies designed to stimulate specific areas of the brain, helping to enhance cognitive function, sensory processing, and motor skills.

4. Integration of Therapies: We work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, and educators, to provide a holistic and integrated approach to care.

5. Family Involvement: We understand that families play a crucial role in a child's development. Our clinic provides guidance and support to parents and caregivers, empowering them to participate actively in their child's progress.
