Crafting Your Child’s Customized Comprehensive Program: how to bring together all important therapies
During child development, brain networks form in specific patterns with an orchestrated sequence. How these networks develop and change over time is the basis for the Cortica Care Model, an evidence-based, neurological approach to autism treatment, developed by Dr. Suzanne Goh. The Cortica Care Model spans biomedical, behavioral, sensorimotor, and language domains. We develop customized, integrated treatment programs to target a child’s neurophysiology, biochemistry, sensorimotor integration, communication, cognition, and behavior. At this presentation, Dr. Goh and other members of the Cortica team will review this comprehensive, neuroscience-based treatment approach and guide you in creating a customized program for your child. This is the third lecture of a three-part program being presented by Dr. Goh and the Cortica team. Parents interested in the Cortica comprehensive treatment program will find it useful to attend all three sessions.
