The Neurosequential Model is a a developmentally sensitive approach that integrates core principles of neurodevelopment, developmental psychology, neurosociology and traumatology to inform work with children, families, and the communities in which they live. The flexibility of the NM allows the dissemination of common concepts and principles which become the framework for effective and useful capacity-building and problem-solving across multiple systems including education, early childhood, mental health, health, juvenile justice and child welfare.
This two-hour session will introduce some of the core concepts and illustrate their use in various applications. Examples of the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics will show how a clinical team can create an individualized intervention, enrichment, and educational plan matched to the unique needs of the individual. Individual and program outcomes from various applications will be shared and the challenges and potential advantages of using the NM in various settings will be discussed.
