12 BOYS RANCH | Celebrating 80 Years Brain mapping helps set best course for children

he children who come to Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch bring with them a variety of needs. The help they find in our therapeutic community — a place of safety and peace, Troutine and consistency — they begin to heal. Some of our children have endured long-term stressors such as abuse, poverty or neglect. To help these young people, Boys Ranch employs the Neurosequential Model™, based on the work of Houston behavioral scientist Dr. Bruce Perry. NM™ allows our professional care specialists to look at the developmental experiences, good and bad, which are part of a child’s relationships throughout his life. NM™ looks at the entire brain. These areas of the brain work together like an orcehestra, each area having its own function and developmental period. Using information gained from a series of questions-and responses from each child, a representational chart, or map, of the child’s brain’s organization and functioning is made with the intentional, fundamental interactions and activities. aid of special software.

Neurosequential Model personalizes understanding, care

al Farley’s Boys Ranch has been a certified Neurosequential Model™ site since 2010. Over the last decade, we have applied the concepts from this model, created Cby Houston behavioral scientist Dr. Bruce Perry. The NM™ takes a historical view of a child’s relationships, experiences and behavior to create a representative map of his or her unique brain development, better informing our work and helping caregivers to make decisions to benefit the behavior and development of our children. In this way, understanding each child’s developing brain helps our caring professionals build a highly personalized plan of service to meet each individual need. As our youth come to understand what their brains are craving — safety, belonging, achievement, purpose and more — they are better able to find healthy ways to fill these needs. The many resources and programs at Boys Ranch help our children learn how to meet their own needs as they grow. In doing so, Boys Ranch empowers youth to apply what they learn throughout their adult lives.
