Emotional, Behavioral, &
Relational Challenges
The Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care and Emotional, Behavioral & Relational Challenges
Clients struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational challenges typically experience under or over-communication in the areas of the Limbic System (Insular Cortex, Cingulate Gyrus), where self-regulation, fight or flight response, and regulation of the body’s homeostasis occur. Often, these areas struggle to communicate with the Frontal Association Cortex, the part of the brain responsible for making inferences about other people’s social cues, modulation of affect, empathy, consequences of actions, and planning of goal-directed behavior.
Our individualized programs help clients develop new neural pathways that enable them to manage emotional stimuli better, self-regulate, demonstrate mindfulness, and build healthy relationships based on respect for themselves and others.

Environments for Students with Emotional, Behavioral & Relational Challenges
Evaluation. Assessment. Individualized Plans.
Each client receives a comprehensive evaluation of their neurodevelopment, physiological health, learning style, and emotional, behavioral, and relational balance. The evaluation includes a global neurodevelopmental assessment unique to Jacob's Ladder of more than 1,300 metrics. In addition, we conduct a comprehensive academic assessment, a nutritional consultation, and a qEEG brain map to determine regions of the brain that struggle to communicate.
Based on the evaluation, each client receives a program tailored to their academic and therapeutic needs. This way, each client receives a plan of care targeting specific areas of challenge while capitalizing on areas of strength.
