Developmental ChartsThese developmental charts are informative and educational tools provided for those seeking to understand different challenges. Integrative and Developmental Progression ChartThe Integrative and Developmental Progression Chart allows parents to learn what abilities and functions are associated with each level of brain function. By using this chart, parents can determine which functions and their corresponding brain levels are symptomatically affected by the problems originating in the brain. The Integrative and Developmental Progression Chart is, quite simply, a map of how a young child's brain grows and develops. It charts the pathways of the most vital neurological functions, taking you step by step through the development and integration of these functions. At birth, babies principally utilize the Medulla Oblongata and the Spinalis — the parts of the brain wherein the most primitive survival functions operate. Over time, with the proper stimulation and opportunity, their brains grow, mature and organize. As they do they incorporate and integrate successively higher levels — Pons, Midbrain and Cortex — of neurological function. Every child is an individual, and proceeds through development at a different rate. In our "Well-Rounded Child" seminar we teach parents about this process and, in addition, present simple programs and activities they can do to support and speed a child's progression up the ladder of neurological development. In our "How to Help the Child With Special Needs" and "License to Thrive" seminars, the staff teach parents how to understand and use this chart effectively. With this information parents can identify where their child's developmental issues are, and are prepared to learn the next step: how to get their children successfully and permanently back on track in their developmental journey.
