The approach that Minds in Depth takes to describing the cognitive profile of an individual is different to other approaches. Understanding our approach and being able to apply it requires a change in mindset: a change in mindset from interventions based on symptoms to interventions based on what is causing the symptoms.
The free section of the Minds in Depth membership introduces you to the Integrative Cognitive Profiling Framework and how this can be used to identify the underlying issues behind the symptoms that cause your child so many difficulties.
Because any particular symptom could have several different underlying issues, interventions based on symptoms are a hit and miss affair. The wrong intervention can harm your child and trigger more challenging behaviour.
