Education: the Neuro Frontier?
Intropara
Event Overview
Could neuroplasticity therapies revolutionise education in the UK?
Neuroplasticity therapies use the brain’s natural ability to form connections with every new experience, to create, restore and increase function in the brain. Conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, OCD, brain injury, anxiety, etc can benefit from these therapies. The therapies include specific balance, sensory, movement and cognition exercises; and at this ground-breaking symposium, you will gain an understanding of how use of neuroplasticity therapies can lead to improvements in social, emotional, behavioural and academic skills. Importantly, you will gain insight into what this could mean for the future of education.
Discover how the science and practice of neuroplasticity is moving at an ever-increasing pace. Techniques and therapies are emerging which are demonstrating the potential to improve the function and abilities of many children, especially those labelled with special educational needs. These therapies could potentially enable all children to reach their educational potential. This symposium seeks to explore:
- What are the innovations in neuroplasticity therapies?
- Do neuroplasticity therapies have a place in education?
- Is UK keeping abreast of these innovations?
- How might education policy and practice embrace these innovations?
