Workshop Description:

bruce-perry11-575x250The development of a young child is profoundly influenced by experience. Experiences shape the organization of the brain which, in turn, influences 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.

Objectives:

1. Provide an overview of key principles of neurodevelopment crucial for understanding the role of experience in defining functional and physical organization of the brain.

2.  Describe the emerging clinical and research findings in maltreated children that suggest the negative impact of abuse, neglect and trauma on brain development.

3. Outline the clinical implications of a neurodevelopmental approach to child maltreatment.

Testimonials:
(Excerpts from Dr. Perry’s 9/29/15 workshop evaluations)

“I’d pay double. That man walks on water. I could listen to him all day long.”

“He is an amazing speaker and his work is very relevant to anyone working with children and adults that have been impacted by trauma.”

“I read one of his books for grad school and when I saw he would be presenting, I knew I could not miss it. What an amazing speaker!”

“He was HANDS DOWN the best speaker I have been to in a while! Very easy to pay attention and follow his “flow” of knowledge and info. He was great! Loved the humor.”

“I would cancel a vacation to attend!!!”

“Dr. Perry’s information is so beneficial to my practice. I am constantly recommending to coworkers (even those that work with adults) that they attend workshops where he is presenting.”
