Six Weeks to New Skills
Discover how to unlock new skills for your child. This workshop will provide the participants with an initial understanding of how early childhood movements impact neurological organization. The focus will be the functional movements of crawling and creeping and their significance in creating the healthy structures of the pons and midbrain. The influence between these movements and the structures of the brain will be discussed as they relate to autism spectrum disorders.
