Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of autism intervention. Research shows that individuals with autism often have imbalances in brain connectivity, leading to challenges in areas like communication, social interaction, and behavior. We'll discuss how strengthening neural pathways and addressing these imbalances through a holistic, developmental approach can improve self-regulation, social awareness, emotional processing, and so much more.
We’ll break down complex ideas into easy-to-understand concepts, showing how a deeper understanding of brain connectivity can transform the way we support our loved ones with high-functioning autism. Whether you're a parent, professional, or educator, this webinar offers practical knowledge to help you better understand and nurture each person’s unique developmental journey.
Don’t miss this opportunity to change the future!
About our webinar presenter:

She earned a degree in Special Education from the University of Georgia in 2004, focusing on Autism Spectrum and Behavioral Disorders. Subsequently, she obtained a Master’s Degree in Moderate Disabilities from Cambridge College in 2006. Amanda’s commitment to understanding neurology led her to complete over 150 hours of classes at the F. R. Carrick Institute of Ergonomics and pursue a PhD in Neuro-Psychology.
In 2007, Amanda’s career took a pivotal turn when she joined the Brain Balance Achievement Center, inspired by the remarkable transformations she witnessed among her students. She then developed a specialized Brain Balance program for teenagers at a therapeutic residential boarding school in 2012, focusing on adopted children and those who experienced trauma. Here, she delved into the connection between brain development and empathy.
Over the past decade, Amanda has collaborated with therapists, educators, and families in interdisciplinary settings, enriching her understanding of neurological interventions. Since 2015, she has served as the CEO of Brain Balance in Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky, while maintaining a small caseload to remain directly involved in her field. Amanda’s expertise has led her to become a national speaker, sharing insights on brain function, learning, attachment, and social-emotional development at various conferences.
Amanda’s lifelong passion is to facilitate healing and growth in children and teens through progressive and innovative neurological interventions, ensuring they reach their full potential.
