Principles, content and process are interwoven throughout
the Program. The content of the Schools Attuned Program includes
eight Neurodevelopmental Constructs (Temporal-Sequential Ordering, Spatial
Ordering, Memory, Language, Higher Order cognition, Neuromotor Functions,
Social Cognition, Attention) and their relation to academic areas.
The Constructs used throughout the Schools Attuned Program are listed below:
| |
> |
| |
A network of three highly interactive control
systems that regulate the flow of cognitive energy (Mental Energy Control),
intake of information (Processing Controls) and output (Production Controls).
|
| |
> |
| |
A system that provides the infrastructure to
interpret, remember and create information that needs to be in a specific order
or sequence.
|
| |
> |
| |
A system that provides the infrastructure to interpret, remember and create
information that comes in or goes out as a simultaneously presented set of
stimuli.
|
| |
> |
| |
The mind's storage system that includes Short-Term Memory (briefly registering
new information that is used, stored, or forgotten), Active Working Memory
(mentally suspending information while using or manipulating it) and Long-Term
Memory (storing and retrieving information, including knowledge, skills and
experiences).
|
| |
> |
| |
The system that facilitates the receipt, understanding, and expression of
ideas, feelings and information.
|
| |
> |
| |
The connections and interactions between the brain and the various groups of
muscles that move our skeletons, including Gross Motor Function (using the
body's large muscles in a coordinated, effective manner), Fine Motor Function
(demonstrating effective manual dexterity) and Graphomotor Function
(maneuvering a utensil to produce handwriting).
|
| |
> |
| |
Functions necessary for verbal pragmatic abilities (using and understanding
language within social contexts) and social behaviors (acting in a way that
fosters optimal relationships with others).
|
| |
> |
| |
A set of interrelated processes that facilitates grappling with intellectually
sophisticated challenges, forming concepts, solving problems and thinking
creatively.
