How our Sensorium Model, Assessment, and Interventions are different
Imagine the Brain and Nervous System as a complex and interconnected network of pathways, like a superhighway. The Brain collects sensory information from all over our body. It's like a sophisticated data center, processing everything from touch and temperature to emotions and reflexes.
The sensory system delivers information to the brain via various pathways. If there is too much information, or not enough, then the brain won’t accurately know if the body is safe, and will, therefore, often use coping mechanisms that present as a wide variety of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and ODD.
Our Functional Neuro Assessment ™ starts with assessing all the ways the body is collecting information from the environment including looking at balance, primitive reflexes, vestibular and proprioceptive function, autonomic nervous system function (including sympathetic and parasympathetic aspects of the vagus nerves) timing components of brain structures, and oculomotor capabilities.
We have found that there is very rarely anything “wrong” or broken. Our model focuses on making meaningful shifts at the source, which allows the brain and body to get the stimulation they need to feel safe from activities that should feel connecting and rewarding. This leads to our clients feeling they are themselves again and can tackle anything life throws their way.
