Cook, the author of Nurture Their Nature, looks at the “whole child” and complete learning differences including the nature and nurture of the neurodifference. For learning to be successful, we need to look at the “whole child” and their neuro-symatic learning functions. For learning motivation and resilience (meaning) to be successful, you need to haveContinue reading “My Elbert: RDS Responsive System Dysfunction & Neurodiversity”

12 – 2.3 RAS Rectangular Activation System Note: includes Soma and Alta Major Chakras illustration The Problem: We are seeing children/adults digress with gulf-sized disconnect and low self-esteem. Each child/adult is multidimensional and ALL our systems and senses need to function equalized, activated, and balanced for learning to take place. The triune brain which isContinue reading “My Elbert: The Triune Brain & Neurodiversity”

What is neruopedagogy? My current practice is a holistic, alternative approach to being and aims to learn how to stimulate new zones of the brain, and increase self-directed neuroplasticity, and create connections (neuropathways) for learning to be successful. Furthermore, it is targeted at naturally stimulating the brains of all types of learners, not only thoseContinue reading “My Elbert: Perception, Senses, and Neurodiversity”

In Alzheimer’s disease, tau and another protein called amyloid-beta build up into tangles and plaques—known collectively as aggregates, which lead to Neurodegenerative Toxicity(ies)-Resulting in or characterized by degeneration of the nervous system, especially the neurons in the brain. *Aside: An estimated 6.2 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia in 2021.Continue reading “My Elbert: Neurodegenerative Disease & Memory, Including Feeling of Shame”
