What does B.R.A.I.N. stand for?
Biology, Relationships, Agency, Individualization and Neuroplasticity.

BIOLOGY
Understanding differences in the chemistry, development, and wiring of the brain helps us see behavior through the lens of unmet needs, lagging skills, and a fight-flight response, not just as laziness or disrespect, so we can respond with an approach that supports the underlying cause of the behavior.

relationships
Communicating in a way that sees the person as wanting to do well and finding ways to connect through strengths and interests provides a path for creating relationships built on trust and acceptance which leads to healthy self-esteem, collaboration and learning.

AGENCY
Reflecting on and accepting how current thought and action patterns lead towards or away from goals is the first step in developing self-agency and determination so that new habits, strategies, and skills aligned with goals can be developed.

INDIVIDUALIZATION
Co-creating a toolbox of strategies that work with the individual’s unique strengths, motivators, and preferences combined with the just-right level of accountability, leads to new skill, confidence and action.

NEUROPLASTicitY
Using the individualized strategies and acquired skills over time creates new neural connections that make self-regulation, self-advocacy, and taking action towards goals possible.
