Translating the Neuroscience

of Sensory Integration

into Everyday Language

Welcome!

My mission with the Science Snapshot project is to help us better understand our kids by translating the neuroscience of behavior, emotions, and learning into everyday language. Newsletter subscribers receive regularly scheduled emails that highlight a focused piece of research and connect it to real life—shared in a format you can listen to or watch on your commute, while cooking dinner, or during a walk.

Have a child with big emotions and big behaviors? Check out Auty! An online, animated, and fun program that teaches kids about regulation!

The brain holds a model of the body - and it uses it to inform skilled movement!

Empowering Families Through Teaching and Learning Theory

Learning is consolidated while you sleep, making skills available through subcortical, automatized circuits

Sensory and motor experiences change the organization of the brain - and that can be used to improve motor skills!

Understanding emotions and the energy they carry
