 Neurosequential Model: Assessment &consultation
The Neurosequential Model is a developmentally informed, biologically respectful approach to understanding and treating the effects of trauma on child development. This model was developed by neuroscientist and child psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce Perry, in order to address the complex impact of trauma on the developing brain. The model is not a specific therapeutic technique, but rather a framework that helps clinicians organize a child's history of trauma and assess their current functioning. A thorough history of trauma, neurodevelopment, relational history and current functioning are reviewed by the clinician and treatment recommendations are made.Â
