Autism Spectrum Disorder
The Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care
and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Levels 1, 2 & 3)
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder diagnoses frequently have areas of the brain that over-communicate and become “locked” in a pattern. Other critical brain areas used for social connection and language development become under-activated as the “locked” areas use an overabundance of cognitive energy.
Our Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care individualized programs work to quiet the areas of clients’ brains that are overly activated while building up underactive areas. Many clients who fall within the autism spectrum also benefit greatly from a robust sensory motor program delivered daily with adequate frequency, intensity, and duration.
Diagnoses We See
Our Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care helps clients with autism spectrum disorder reach their full potential by creating the right neural pathways. We serve students with diagnoses including:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD - Levels 1, 2 & 3)
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Sensory Processing Challenges
Environments for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Evaluation. Assessment. Individualized Plans.
Clients receive comprehensive evaluations assessing their neurodevelopment, physiological health, learning style, and emotional, behavioral, and relational balance. The evaluation includes a global neurodevelopmental assessment unique to Jacob's Ladder with over 1,300 assessment metrics. In addition, we conduct a comprehensive academic assessment, a nutritional consultation, and a qEEG brain map to determine regions of the brain that are struggling to communicate.
Based on the evaluation, each client receives an individualized program tailored to their academic and therapeutic needs. This way, we develop the right neural pathways to reach each client's full potential.
Successful Self-Regulation
No person is defined by one difficult moment. Our methodology helps each client adjust to new situations through self-regulation. Learning to reset and rezone can help counteract the challenges of changes in routine.
Trusting Relationships
We hold our clients in the highest regard. Establishing a foundation of trusting relationships sets clients up for success and helps them achieve breakthroughs.
