Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics II

Catalog description

Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics II is an advanced year elective that is the second in the NMT course series, which focuses on assessing the neurodevelopmental impact of trauma and selecting interventions consistent with this assessment. Consistent with a neurosequential understanding of development, students will be taught to recognize which interventions involve specific brain regions in order to assist them in choosing those most likely to promote growth in areas of the brain impacted by trauma. This assessment and intervention process occurs within the frameworks of systems and attachment theories, which recognize that the relational environments and communities in which clients live must be adequately safe and supportive for any intervention to be effective. This course utilizes a flipped classroom model. It incorporates recorded material supplied by the Neurosequential Network. Students will view these recordings outside of class and meet for 4 sessions in order to discuss the material and apply the full NMT assessment process, brain mapping, and treatment planning model to a case of their choosing. By the end of the course, students will have completed the requirements for Level 1 Certification in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. Prereq: SASS 557 .
