The Learning Brain: Communicating and Collaborating with Teachers and Other Non-ABA Professionals is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of busy classrooms and teacher-managed routines. In The Learning Brain: Communicating and Collaborating with Teachers and Other Non-ABA Professionals, for this course, the practical stakes show up in feasible school-based support, stronger collaboration, and better student participation, not in abstract discussion alone.

We first explore the different parts of the brain that are responsible for stress responses, memory consolidation, and executive functioning, as well as the practical function of each of those structures. Next, we explore how different emotions affect learning and how breaks can help the brain return to a state of optimal learning. Finally, we explore different activities to incorporate into classrooms and therapeutic settings to teach children and other professionals how to understand their brain functions and utilize breaks to improve performance.
