Master of Science in NeuroDevelopmental Sciences

Credits: 60 credits
Delivery Method: Hybrid (Online and in-Person)

The Master's in Science degree will focus on Neurodevelopmental Science with four areas of concentration. Students may elect to concentrate on Infants, Trauma & Stress, Education/Academic, or General Practice. Throughout the program students will be immersed in a combination of theory, practice and research as applies to neurosensorimotor reflex integration. Students who enroll in this program are professionals who already hold at least a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a health, psychology, wellness or education related field; or a bachelor's degree from another profession interested in Neurodevelopmental Sciences. Upon graduation students will have the tools and education to directly help those with neurosensorimotor, neuromodulation and neurodevelopmental challenges that effect life skills found in the cognitive, emotional, and physical areas.

Program Objectives:

1. Students will demonstrate the ability to apply up to date theory on neurosensorimotor reflex integration within their career path.
2. Students will discriminate between the various protocols utilized within neurosensorimotor reflex integration.
3. Students will integrate the protocols within the neurosensorimotor reflex integration method to establish the best plans for the individual and group tailored to each customer's specific needs.
4. Students will analyze research to determine if the research is credible, valid, and reliable.
5. Students' Thesis will add to the ongoing education and contribute to the innovative pedagogy of the neurosensorimotor reflex integration field by meeting APA publication requirements and possible peer-reviewed journal standards.

Certificate: Accelerated Learning for Neurodiversity

Credits: 13 credits
Delivery Method: Hybrid (Online and in-Person)

The Accelerated Learning for Neurodiversity certificate equips individuals with neuroreflex integration and neuromodulation techniques to support diverse populations and optimize learning and development. The Accelerated Learning for Neurodiversity certificate offers participants practical theory and active exercises to implement current neurodevelopment theory, neuromodulation techniques, and neuroreflex integration skills to assist with developing appropriate physical, emotional, and cognitive skills to enhance learning.

This certificate is developed for teachers, parents, and other professionals working with learners of all ages.

Program Objectives:

1. Practical Application of Neuroreflex Techniques
   1. Students will apply primary neuroreflex integration and movement-based techniques to enhance learning, emotional regulation, and social behavior. They will develop strategies using active exercises to support learners facing educational challenges.
2. Brain-Body Connections in Learning
   1. Students will explain the importance of brain-body connections, neurodevelopment, and neuroplasticity. They will identify how these factors influence learning, cognitive function, and behavior, applying techniques to support optimal learning outcomes.
3. Neuromodulation Techniques for Positive Learning
   1. Students will utilize neuromodulation techniques to help learners transition from negative learning patterns to safe, positive learning experiences. They will address the role of a mature vestibular and proprioceptive system in fostering effective learning.
4. Supervised Hands-On Practice
   1. Students will engage in supervised hands-on practice to identify learning challenges and apply appropriate neurodevelopmental and neuromodulation techniques. They will gain practical experience in implementing individualized learning strategies.

Certificate: Stress and Trauma Relief Strategies and Techniques for Helping Professionals

Credits: 13 credits
Delivery Method: Hybrid (Online and in-Person)

The Stress and Trauma Relief Strategies and Techniques for Helping Professionals certificate offers attendees
and participants the neurodevelopmental knowledge and neuromodulation techniques to support individuals
and communities demonstrating symptoms of acute and chronic stress, trauma, and post-trauma.

This program is designed for people who are working with or wish to work with people of all ages who have
gone through traumatic events due to natural disasters, personal trauma, or other environmental occurrences.

Program Objectives:

1. Practical Application of Neuroreflex Techniques
   1. Students will apply neuroreflex integration and movement-based techniques to support learning, emotional regulation, and social behavior in individuals affected by stress and trauma.
2. Brain-Body Connections and Trauma Mitigation
   1. Students will explain brain-body connectivity, neuroplasticity, and neurodevelopment, identifying how stress and trauma impact cognitive and behavioral functions, and apply strategies to alleviate these effects.
3. Neuromodulation Techniques for Stress and Trauma Relief
   1. Students will apply neuromodulation techniques to support individuals and communities exhibiting symptoms of acute stress and trauma caused by natural disasters, personal trauma, or environmental events. They will develop strategies to promote recovery and improve emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being.
4. Supervised Hands-On Practice
   1. Students will engage in supervised hands-on practice to reinforce neurodevelopmental techniques, gaining practical experience in implementing effective stress and trauma relief interventions.
