You think if you do X hours of a therapy your child will
become recovered, and then you can feel joyful,
relieved, less stressed, hopeful, or motivated.
Be mindful of what drives you, and you will be much
more effective and efficient in helping your child.

Use Vision as a Reference Point and “Course Correct”
“What Do I Want?”
“What Do I Want to Feel?”
“How Do I Want my Child to Feel?”
This becomes your reference point for EVERYTHING you do.

Integration of Mind = daily natural opportunities forthinking, feeling, being with others in safe co-regulatoryrelationships
Integration of Body = neurosensorimotor, reflexintegration, physical exercise daily, using tools, learning by“Doing”
Integration of Spirit into the Body = good luck trying tocontrol a child’s body and break his will – it will not work toproduce functional outcomes and will often lead tosecondary emotional problems and behavioral ‘outbursts’or withdrawal from contact

Treatment plans for the family should include the
following concepts:
1. Top 3 Priorities for the next 90 Days = 90 Day Plan
2. Action steps orient parents and providers to those
top 3 goals
3. All pathways point to those top 3 priorities; no more
“hodge podge” of therapies with unrelated goals

Priority #1: Sleep
Biochemical Pathway: avoid sugar, caffeine; ask Dr. about supplements if other strategies are not working
Psychosocial Pathway: “Regulation” embedded into learning opportunities and social interactions; appropriate cognitive challenges that require the child to think and problem-solve
Neurosensorimotor/Physical Pathway: Address environmental aspects such as light sensitivity, no electronics before bedtime; reflexes specific to sleep and overall arousal; massages or craniosacral therapy for relaxation; Vigorous daily exercise.
Spiritual-Energetic Pathway: Specific to child – energetic scan of source of sleep issue, any environmental issues (declutter room, etc.)
