SUMMARY:The Exercise Rx: How Movement Transforms Your Child’s Brain
DESCRIPTION:Think of exercise as a prescription for optimizing intellectual reasoning\, increasing attention\, and improving mood. Regular exercise activates the brain systems that support focus\, memory\, and self-regulation\, decrease impulsivity\, and prime kids for learning — all kids\, young and old. An exciting and growing body of research shows that physical activity is a promising alternative or additional treatment option for kids with ADHD\, executive function challenges\, and learning issues. \nDr. Douglas DeMassa will discuss the effects of exercise on the brain and how physical activity can help students improve attention\, endurance\, short-term memory skills\, impulse control\, time-on-task\, visual tracking\, balance\, coordination\, and self-confidence. \nPresented by SPED*NET Wilton in partnership with Wilton Library\, Wilton Public Schools\, the Wilton Youth Council Free Play Matters Task Force and Darien SEPAC. \nDeMassa is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a bachelor’s in science in sports biology\, a Master’s of Science in human nutrition\, over 300 hours of post-graduate education in chiropractic neurology\, and a post-doctoral qualification in the treatment of ADHD\, learning disabilities\, and behavioral disorders. He has trained in the martial arts for 35-plus years and has been teaching for 25 years. In 2005\, he combined his knowledge and experience to create NEURON-DO®\, a brain-based martial art that integrates physical movements with cognitive learning strategies. He is currently in private practice\, teaches NEURON-DO\, and is an adjunct professor at the University of Bridgeport School of Chiropractic teaching maternal and child health.

SUMMARY:How School Interventions Affect Your Kids Who Are Wired Differently
DESCRIPTION:Children with autism\, non-learning verbal disorders (NVLD)\, or ADHD have two things in common: their brains process differently from those of other kids and they are often traumatized in school. \nSchools traditionally focus on kids’ behavior\, instead of on the experiences that led to such behavior. This is especially true if their actions distract other children. However\, children who are not accomplishing work “at the level of their potential” or are “oppositional” or “noncompliant” may be doing the best they can. Negative feedback only discourages them and leads to a sense of frustration and shame. Parents also often feel helpless when trying to get schools to better understand their kids. \nClinical psychologist Marcia Eckerd\, PhD\, and therapist Robert Bernstein\, MA\, will discuss why it’s critical for schools to focus on “what’s the child experiencing” in order to genuinely understand their behavior and help them succeed. \nRegister online. \nA video recording of this event will also be available online. \nPresented by SPED*NET in partnership with Wilton Library\, Wilton Public Schools and Newtown Sped PTA
