Project Title: Brain & Body Integration Program for Children
Project Description:

For fifty years, the Rehabilitation Center for Neurological Development has been offering Brain & Body Integration Program for Children. The program is designed to assist children diagnosed with birth trauma, traumatic brain injury, autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, Down syndrome or other brain related condition that resulted in a developmental delay. Services offered by the rehabilitation program are individually designed to stimulate each client’s brain and “rewire” the damaged or underdeveloped areas. Rehabilitative services may include neurodevelopmental exercises, cognitive/language development and tutoring, visual training and sensory training. The program approach focuses on treating the problem not the symptom.

The program enrolls a minimum of thirty children in the program annually. Clients attend the program 2 days per week for the 8-week period. Services are provided on an individual basis and may include but are not limited to the following: neuroeducational class, neurodevelopmental exercises, vestibular exercises, perceptual/language/cognitive training, educational kinesiology, and aquatic therapy.

Each child completes a pre and post evaluation to monitor progress. Based on the evaluation, an individual service plan is developed that specifically addresses that child’s unique needs. Services offered in the 8-week program may include but are not limited to the following: Neurodevelopmental Exercises, Vestibular Exercises, Perceptual/Language/Cognitive Training, Educational Kinesiology, and Aquatic Therapy. These services are provided on an individual basis. Services are provided regardless of ability to pay.

By program completion, each child shall achieve at least one of the following measurable objectives: improved upper body strength, improved lower body strength, improved balance, improved coordination, improved mobility, improved cognitive processing, increased language skills, improved visual /auditory processing or improved neurological organization.

This grant award shall extend the program through 2023. The program shall target those families that have limited financial resources and may otherwise not be able to take advantage of the services offered through the Center.
