Sensory integration therapy is used to help children to learn to use all their senses together. That is touch,smell,taste,sight and hearing can improve difficulties/problems in children with special need.
Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The amount of room you have to process data is equal to 1 measuring cup. The
brain has a natural feedback loop that monitors data level. Your brain’s job is to
reduce data if it is getting ‘too high’. Reducing data is done through blocking info,
taking a break, relaxing, and engaging in personal interests.
NT: Feedback loop works at all levels. This results
in excellent ‘regulation’.
ASD: ‘Numb’ until 500ml. This results in ‘immediate
and unexpected’ agitation, shutdown & meltdown.
ADHD: Sporadic feedback loop. This results in a
range of regulation from excellent to meltdown,
different from minute to minute.
Anxiety/Depression: The emotion takes up 300ml
at all times. This results in very little room for other
data and results in agitation, meltdown & shutdown.

I’m
stupid.
Smarts
It’s
- hopeless.
Attention Problems No one
understands.
Grades / Self Esteem I give I’m
up. bad.
When someone isn’t able to show their smarts, they feel frustrated, anxious and
angry. When this happens over and over, the person learns to quit trying because
trying doesn’t work!

Processing speed is how fast your brain can
take in new data, process it, and store it.
PROBLEM:
A narrowing in how fast Incoming data can be
processed and moved into long term storage.
28. (c) New Leaves Clinic
Processing Speed is how fast a brain can take in information.
Speeding causes the brain to fill up and overflow. All the data that overflows
falls out of my brain. It’s gone!
When I only get part of the info (because the rest overflowed) my brain
throws it away….because it doesn’t make sense.
The moral of the story is I’m not filling up my intelligence!

How to use Pomodoro
Short term Goal: Daily Schedule Includes:
• Learn the rules of Pomodoro • Work Time: Start &
• Measure how many time periods each job needs. Finish
• Break Time: Start & Sto
• Follow
Medium Goal:
• Given List for the day Daily Schedule using Pomodoro
Long Term Goal:
• Given List for the week Week schedule using Pomodoro
• No reminders from parents
Video:Pomodoro
There are five basic steps to Pomodoro:
• decide on the task to be done during the time period
• set the timer to 25 minutes
• work on the task until the timer rings; record with an x
• take a short break (3-5 minutes)
• every four time periods take a longer break (15–30 minutes)
ADHD is a pejorative term and highly misunderstood Executive FunctionEF: skills like overlapping clouds that are named differently by each researcherDevelopment: Longest part of the brain to develop – finish near 23-25
Data In / Data Out:Data is deleted going in (like a bad keyboard)When the data is messed up going in, LTM often dumps it completely. (3 years behind academically by end of HS)Going out, a portion is stolen, yet again.Pejorative statements:He just isn’t trying.He could do it if he would focus.His grades don’t match how smart he is…I know he is smarter than he seems.He can do it when he wants to.He isn’t motivated.
Basic Anatomy:PFC: Prefrontal Cortex literally the brain region where EFs are housedEFvs ADD vs ADHD vsPFC damage all saying the same thing….WATCH THIS VIDEO! TED talk summarizing challenge with teen EF 14 minutes.
DSM: Says there are 2 types that are different.Instead, think of challenges more like on a pole: Hyper on 1 end – Hypo at the other endSome people do stay at one end of the pole, but the vast majority slide up and down…at random….within seconds, minutes, hours.SCT: Sluggish Cognitive TempoResearches believe that true SCT (what used to be ADD with no hyperactivity) is a distinct brain pattern unrelated to what we think of as ADHD.Poles: Think of it as astonomicallyunderactivated (ie after 2 glasses of wine, 2 Benadryl, being awoken at 2 am)SCT tends to be BFFs with: anxiety, slow processing speed, and being an air head (what?)
Functional understanding of impairment1. You could have: Primary, Secondary or Primary & Secondary2. Primary: PFC problems3. Secondary: LD, Emo problems (that make than car run rough, like a flat tire)4. BOTH: ex: ADHD & dyslexia or SCT and Depression-------------------- This is why we REALLY want to see testing. Treating the wrong…creating more failure…causes hopelessness.

Russell Barkley, PhD is a world leader in ADHD/EF.This is his model on how they all work together. Video – 3 minutes: Basic summary of what EFs are…
Have you heard of the Brown scales of ADHD? This is how he thinks they work….
Dr. Daniel AmenMD - a world renowned expert in brain scienceTrained in psychiatryHe overtly disrespects psychiatry as “the one medical field that does not bother to look at the body part they are treating”He began with ADHD – did thousands of SPECT scans1 scan while relaxing2 scan while concentrating (literally doing a CPT)so he could literally see how brain areas are being utilized in real time.He found 6 TYPES of ADHD…and wrote a famous book about it. *********He has literally saved the lives of several of many very challenged teens who had seen a dozen + docs of all types. They simply had very unusal brain styles and when drug A was given, it messed with area B….When area B med was given, it messed with area A.His focus: We are actively harming our brains without knowing it. We can literally heal many problems, or at least greatly reduce them through:Sleep (dementia)Diet (Protein)Exercise (increases blood flow which heals, as well as increases activity in slow areas)Blood Panel (if you are low in certain vitamins/minerals you can’t MAKE neurotransmitters….and for some, you can’t metabolize the med you may be on and are considered ‘treatment resistent’.Brain Training: Braingystics, CogMed, CBT were are neuroplasticMeds: but only after the above to reduce and clarify amount neededI see his focus is: RD (dietician), ND (naturopath), MD truly holisticSince then he has found multiple types of every psychiatric label…..and has been a genius and clarifying brain disorders no one else could pinpoint. We are the only psychological practice in Oregon that is an educational provider for Amen Clinics. Which means we provide follow up care, coordination with MD/ND at Amen Clinics and continue the process toward science based brain health.If they want to know more about the types, they are nicely laid out on his website at the bottom of the ADHD page.
You better be… or their brain is going to go to sleep!
