The adults learn about the neurodevelopmental process by interacting with children and helping them. Both adults and children learn that all children develop independently, at their own unique rate. Adults are taught to intervene effectively by highlighting a child's strengths and helping him accommodate for his weaknesses. According to Dr. Levine, there are no disorders, just differences in development. He teaches children to recognize their developmental strengths and weaknesses and to understand their individual differences.
Attention is a neurological process.
Research has shown that the attention centers in the brain are located in the frontal lobe. Research in this area has focused primarily on the neurochemical processes in the frontal lobe, particularly on the neurotransmitters like Serotonin, Norepinephrine and Dopamine. We have learned that Serotonin is responsible for regulating the mood. Norepinephrine is responsible for evaluating the relationship of cause and effect which contributes to impulsive acts. Dopamine is the brain's focusing agent.
