Since sensory and motor development occurs just before or along side cognitive development, a special focused exam must be given to begin to find the areas of the body and brain that need to be addressed. Through these findings a specific treatment protocol is established to address the areas of weakness. Through repetitions and challenges the mind/body connection can be established allowing the process of neuroplasticity to develop the weaker areas of the brain. Below is a list of diagnostic testing and potential treatments that can be used to generate a therapy plan.
