    Session details

    Course Description

    This two-hour course will serve as turnkey guide for practitioners to implement evidence based functional neurology protocols with pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. Attendees will learn basic neuroanatomy involved in neurodevelopmental disorders, examination procedures, and treatment strategies that can be implemented immediately with their patients. This course will add valuable treatment tools to a wide range of practitioner niches from traditional chiropractic providers to those who incorporate other functional modalities like functional medicine.

    Learning Objectives

    1. Apply basic concepts of neuroanatomy to explain to parents underlying reasons for their child’s symptoms 
    2. Perform basic functional neurology examination to identify retained primitive reflexes, and indicators of hemispheric imbalance  
    3. Design and Execute treatment protocols that reduce risk, remediate primitive reflexes and neurological imbalances
