ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS

NEW  "Early Childhood and Brain Development: How Experience Shapes Child, Community & Culture" is a one hour program in which Dr. Perry speaks passionately about the critical role early developmental experiences play in shaping the child, and ultimately community and culture. This presentation was given to a large public gathering of key policymakers and stakeholders in California - and we think you will find it helpful in communicating these ideas to parents, teachers, mental health professionals and policy makers.  The program is also ideal for any trainer trying to reach the general public. $89.95 plus S&H  Order now

“What We Have Always Known”  is a 25 minute training and educational video featuring Dr. Perry. The video is a wonderful educational resource for Native American and Non-Native American communities at large – parents and primary caregivers, business, healthcare providers, education, faith groups, government, media and service organizations.  The video presents key teachings of the Native American culture and the important positive impact that understanding early brain development can make on the lives of children.  It reinforces learned historical practices and parenting skills passed on through Native American ancestry – generation to generation.  It speaks of the importance and need for extended families and the benefits of reweaving the social fabric in the Native American Culture. $89.95 plus S&H    Order now

Neglect

Altered brain development following global neglect in early childhood.   This was one of the first studies that demonstrated the profound impact of early childhood neglect on development of the brain in humans. (Official citation: Perry, BD and Pollard, R. Altered brain development following global neglect in early childhood. Society For Neuroscience: Proceedings from Annual Meeting, New Orleans, 1997)

Bonding and Attachment in Maltreated Children: Consequences of Emotional Neglect in Childhood  This special ChildTrauma Academy monograph has been helpful to caregivers, clinicians and parents attempting to understand and help children with attachment problems.  (Official citation. Perry, B.D. Bonding and attachment in maltreated children: Consequences of emotional neglect in childhood  CTA Parent and Caregiver Education Series  Volume 1:4  ChildTrauma Academy Press  2001).  Click here to download free software to open this PDF file.

Neglect in Childhood.  This brief section in an encyclopedia is a good introduction to the area of neglect for caregivers and professionals working with children.  (Official citation: Perry, B.D., Colwell, K. and Schick, S.  Child Neglect in: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment Vol 1.(David Levinson, Ed.) Sage Publications, Thousand Oaks pp 192-196, 2002)

The Neuroarcheology of Childhood Maltreatment: the neurodevelopmental costs of adverse childhood events  This book chapter highlights the core principles of neurodevelopment and presents the “neuroarcheological” hypothesis that the timing of an adverse experience is just as important – if not more important – than the nature of the experience in shaping the developing brain.  This provides the principles, concepts and rationale for a neurodevelopmentally-sensitive approach to education and therapy. (Official citation: Perry, B.D. The neuroarcheology of childhood maltreatment: the neurodevelopmental costs of adverse childhood events. In: The Cost of Maltreatment: Who Pays? We All Do. (Eds., K. Franey, R. Geffner & R. Falconer), Family Violence and Sexual Assault Institute, San Diego, pp. 15-37, 2001)
