Project Title: Brain & Body Integration Program for Children
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
This grant request seeks support for the Brain & Body Integration Program for Children, an intensive therapeutic initiative of the Rehabilitation Center for Neurological Development. The program serves children diagnosed with birth trauma, traumatic brain injury, autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, Down syndrome, and other brain-related conditions resulting in developmental delays.<\/p>\n
The program is grounded in the principle of neuroplasticity\u2014the understanding that the brain is a pliable organ capable of being trained or retrained to strengthen functions that were damaged or never fully developed. Through targeted, evidence-informed interventions, children are supported in building stronger neurological pathways that enhance physical, cognitive, and functional performance.<\/p>\n
Participants attend rehabilitative sessions two days per week for eight weeks. Following a comprehensive initial evaluation, each child receives an individualized service plan tailored to their specific strengths and challenges. Services may include neurodevelopmental exercises, vestibular stimulation, perceptual and cognitive training, educational kinesiology, and aquatic wellness therapy. This integrated approach addresses the whole child\u2014brain and body working together.<\/p>\n
By the conclusion of the program, children are expected to demonstrate measurable improvement in upper and lower body strength, balance, coordination, focus, concentration, and overall neurological organization. These foundational skills are critical to improving academic readiness, independence, and age-appropriate functioning.<\/p>\n
For 54 years, the Rehabilitation Center for Neurological Development has provided specialized services to children and adults with brain injuries. It remains the only organization in the surrounding region offering services anchored in neurodevelopmental theory. With limited therapeutic resources available for children with brain-based developmental challenges, the Brain & Body Integration Program fills a critical service gap.<\/p>\n
Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their highest potential. This program provides structured support and specialized care necessary to help them do so.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $60,440<\/p>\n

Over the course of a year, the project serves approximately forty children. Clients enrolling in the program reside in Miami, Montgomery, Shelby, Darke and other surrounding Ohio counties. The focus of the project is to help each child realize their maximum potential and strive to function at their age-appropriate level.
