Methods

NeuroIntensives

NeuroAPRAK Intensives enhances brain function by utilizing advanced technologies including Neurosage, Rezzi Max, and Photobiomodulation to improve your cognitive and neurological performance.

Sensory Processing

Sensory integration therapy (SIT) is like a playful playground for the brain! It helps children learn to use all their senses together, like touch, sound, and movement, in a fun and engaging way. Through activities like swinging, crawling, and playing with different textures, children learn to better understand and respond to the world around them, which can improve their focus, coordination, and behavior.

Laser Therapy

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an innovative approach to brain rehabilitation. This technique employs light energy (red and infrared) to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation through mechanisms of mitochondiral stimulation which supports pain control, inflammation reduction and blood circulation modulation. PBM holds promise for treating a range of neurological conditions, including brain injuries, cognitive difficulties, and disorders like OCD, anxiety, and ADHD.

Trauma Informed

Trauma-informed pediatric therapy recognizes that children may have experienced traumatic events that can significantly impact their emotional and behavioral development. Instead of focusing solely on the presenting issue (like anxiety or aggression), this approach prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel heard, understood, and respected.

Reflex Integration

Integrating primitive reflexes is crucial for a child's development. This process supports key motor skills, milestones (crawling, walking), and enhances physical coordination, cognitive function, and emotional regulation. For children with developmental delays or sensory processing challenges, integrating these reflexes can significantly improve their overall development and well-being.

Safe & Sound Protocol

A listening intervention designed to regulate the autonomic nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve through specially filtered music. It supports improved emotional regulation, social engagement, and resilience in children by calming the fight-or-flight response.
