Join us for a powerful live guest speaker event exploring the deeper connections between brain, body, and behavior.

Behavioral challenges often reflect what’s happening beneath the surface — unintegrated reflexes, stress, or sensory overload — rather than “choices.”

In this informative session, Dr. Kristan Weisdack will share how a biopsychosocial approach and reflex integration can transform the way parents, educators, and therapists understand and support children’s development.

💡 What You’ll Learn

• Go Beyond the Behavior: Discover how reflexes can appear as behavioral issues but often signal deeper neurodevelopmental needs.

  
  

• Gut–Brain Link: Explore how nutrition and inflammation influence emotions, learning, and regulation.

  
  

• Biopsychosocial Model: Understand how addressing stress across systems supports healing and growth.

  
  

• Empowerment Through Insight: Shift from asking “what’s wrong?” to “what’s really going on?” — and gain tools for whole-child support.

Don’t miss this opportunity to look beneath the surface of behavior and discover how the brain, body, and gut work together to shape development. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or therapist, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the root causes behind challenges—and practical insights you can use to support lasting growth and regulation. Your registration also helps advance neuroreflex integration education and research, making this event both meaningful and impactful.
