Join TTAC to explore this important topic with Dr. Bruce Perry, Principal of the Neurosequential Network.

The development of a young child is profoundly influenced by experience.  Experiences shape the organization of the brain which, in turn, influences the emotional, social, cognitive and physiological activities.  Insights into this process come from understanding brain development.  Based on a neurosequential understanding of brain development, the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) is a developmentally sensitive, neurobiologically-informed approach to clinical problem solving that integrates core principles of neurodevelopment and traumatology to inform work with children, families, and the communities in which they live.  This session will provide an overview of key principles of neurodevelopment, review key functions of the brain, and outline the hierarchy of brain development.  From there, Dr. Perry will describe how the NMT approach can help professionals determine the strengths and vulnerabilities of a child and create an individualized intervention, enrichment, and educational plan matched to his/her unique needs. 

Participants of this webinar will be able to: 

• Provide an overview of key principles of neurodevelopment crucial for understanding the role of experience in defining functional and physical organization of the brain
• Describe the emerging clinical and research findings in maltreated children that suggest the negative impact of abuse, neglect and trauma on brain development

• Outline the clinical implications of a neurodevelopmental approach to child maltreatment

This webinar is for all of those working in the perinatal period as well as children birth to 5 and their families
