Foundations 1 (January 14, 21, 28 and February 4, 2021) and Foundations 2 (February 11, 18, 25, and March 4, 2021) will meet on consecutive Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The 16-hour training will begin by covering the basics of human neurodevelopment to give those who work in the educational setting (physical educators, classroom teachers and behavioral support teams) a foundational lens for understanding the organ they interface with daily. For more information, please visit the registration link HERE. These trainings are a repeat offering for those who could not attend in the Fall of 2020 or previous years.

• Intricate Roots Student Case Presentation and Book Study will again be offered in the Spring of 2021 (March 18, 25, April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and May 6, 2021 from 4:00 - 6:00 PM).  It is highly encouraged to complete Foundations 1 & 2 prior to registering and completing this course. This 16-hour course is specifically tailored for those wanting to take a deeper dive into neurobiological principles. For more information, please visit the registration link HERE.

We encourage you look at each of these closely to understand how the material will support the valuable work you are currently doing.
