- Measuring Functional Changes.....simplyYou might be thinking, "well, I don't see that many NDD kids". The reality is if you see kids at all in your practice, with the amount of typically developing kids who are struggling after these last two years, you are seeing kids who need you to know a little more! Trust me, they're in your practice already and in your community!As Chiropractors, this is what we do! We help people adapt to stress. If you want to make a bigger impact and leave the musculoskeletal (only) realm, you 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 to learn to lead with the brain. You need to have the 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞-𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐬 to be able to measure these changes and SHOW them to families.𝗪𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝗪𝐈𝐍𝐒.

- ADHD? Include this in your exam/re-exam!Those with ADD/ADHD tend to have a common pattern/presentation when it comes to the visual system.As doctors who work with the function and communication of the nervous system, It's actually really important to be able to assess the part of your nervous system we can see!!! (THE EYES!!!)Here’s a way to be more inclusive in our exam to understand (and explain) HOW we are changing the brain. Remember, we don’t need to necessarily DO more, but we do need to KNOW more.So in our exam, use THIS clinical indicator to measure CHANGE in the body.Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

- Myth 2 - People Can't Afford My CareIt’s true that these families might have a lot of therapies already, and you might be getting some (or a lot!) of financial objections. But the fact remains that many of them are looking for other options to add to their existing team, and they ARE willing to pay for it! Dr. Amy breaks down this common myth based on her 10+ years of experience as a cash practice.Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

- Do Chiropractors treat ODD?Do Chiropractors TREAT ODD? No, absolutely not. So how do we communicate the benefits of Chiropractic in a way that makes sense?Always remember the number 1 rule: Behavior is a window into the brain. They are clues to where we are in brain development. As we move through development, we gain more sophisticated tools. When we have gaps in brain development, we see increases in deflective behavior. We have to see these kids as MORE than their deficits or diagnosis. It is our job to know more, not necessarily do more.Listen to this lesson from Dr. Amy on how to tie this back to Chiropractic so we can be the most trusted advisor and really help these kids.Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.
