Leaders in Neurodiverse Education to Showcase Transformative Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care® on Upcoming Episode...
MIAMI, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Viewpoint, the esteemed educational program hosted by renowned actor Dennis Quaid, is proud to announce a partnership with The Jacob's Ladder Group for an upcoming episode dedicated to the current state of neurobiological care and education. The program will feature leaders from The Jacob's Ladder Group discussing their one-of-a-kind global therapeutic, educational model of care for the neurodiverse community.
The Jacob's Ladder Group believes a better outcome is possible for everyone and created the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care® (IWBMC™) to build customized programming for each client's unique needs facilitated through intensive and loving therapeutic environments. Rooted in neuroscience and neuroplasticity, the IWBMC™ has transformed the lives of thousands of children and adults in the past thirty years.
"The IWBMC™ is a unique, customized, comprehensive care model that assesses the individual's neurobiological, psychosocial, and learning profile variables, thereby creating a 'thumbprint' that is shared by no other — this thumbprint once identified leads to a therapeutic educational plan, considering each unique aspect of the individual. From a neurological standpoint alone, over and underconnectivity patterns in the brain dictate much of our social, emotional, and cognitive outlay—identifying these patterns as one aspect of over 1,300 variables leads to a nonrepeatable way forward through challenges — whether they be emotional, behavioral, learning challenges and differences, or rehabilitative from an event or rare genetic syndrome," said Amy O'Dell, The Jacob's Ladder Group Founder and CEO.
During the episode, viewers will hear more from Amy O'Dell, including her inspiring personal connection to those facing neurobiological challenges. The episode will also feature interviews with the family of a Jacob's Ladder alumni, and Dr. Holly Haynes, Executive Director of the Pillar Research Institute, which oversees research and enhancement of the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care®.
"We are humbled by the opportunity to share our story with Viewpoint audiences. What began thirty years ago as the hope for one child has transformed into a global therapeutic, educational movement," said Amy O'Dell.
More details about The Jacob's Ladder Group's appearance on Viewpoint, Hosted by Dennis Quaid, including airdate and broadcast partners, will be announced at a later date. For more information, please visit TheJacobsLadderGroup.org.
