Recently, scientists made a discovery that could rewrite how we think about brain evolution and cognition its...

Lovely webinar yesterday with Ian Wright D.O.; a taster for his upcoming seminar 'The Flowering of Potential: Working with Neurodiversity in the Developing Child, Adolescent and Adult' on February 20th-22nd 2026. EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JANUARY 19TH! Can be attended in London or online, and open to all Craniosacral Therapists and Cranial Osteopaths. Video recordings will also be available for review.

This deep dive into the great potential of working with neurodiverse clients will explore biodynamic neurodevelopment and participants will learn to feel key forces in ourselves and others that still act on our central nervous systems. You will gain knowledge and practical processes to support the beautiful flowering of neurodiverse clients to maximise potential and be able to support children to overcome any difficulties encountered. This seminar has been extensively updated since it was last taught at CTET in 2023, exploring and learning to work with recent research including CSF programming, mitochondrial function and ignition, biome function and brain coherence states applied to neurodiversity.

Topics include:
* Factors that act to effect normal neurodevelopment, genetic, epigenetic, conception, intrauterine, perinatal and postpartum developmental threads, and how to address any issues
* Trauma of all kinds and its effects on the developing central nervous system, and how to overcome both strong and more subtle effects
* The different threads of neurodiversity in detail, autism, dyspraxia, sensory processing, neurodevelopmental delays, specific learning and behavioural challenges, anxiety in children, amongst others
* These threads of neurodiversity in the developing child, adolescent and adult, and explore our understanding of normal.
Further information can be found at .
