The Brain Therapy Helping Kids With ADHD, Autism & Emotional Regulation

Описание: In this discussion round, pediatric occupational therapist Erinn Askin, MA, OTR/L, PAMS shares how transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is being integrated into pediatric neurodevelopmental therapy.

Erinn is the founder of OTEIM (Occupational Therapy Empowering Individual Minds) and the creator of the Neuro Adaptive Therapy Approach, an integrative clinical framework that combines traditional therapy with emerging neuromodulation technologies to support children with developmental, sensory, and neurological challenges.

In this session, she explains how light therapy is being used in clinical practice to support emotional regulation, attention, and brain function in children with conditions such as:

• Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• ADHD
• Pediatric traumatic brain injury
• Sensory processing challenges
• Trauma and emotional dysregulation

Drawing from years of clinical experience and thousands of patient interactions, Erinn shares case studies from her clinic and explains how light therapy can be used as a neurological primer to support neuroplasticity and enhance the effectiveness of traditional therapy approaches.

Topics covered in this discussion include:

• How photobiomodulation supports mitochondrial function and brain energy metabolism
• Why regulation is foundational for pediatric therapy outcomes
• How light therapy is integrated alongside occupational therapy and sensory interventions
• Clinical case studies from Erinn’s pediatric neurodevelopmental clinic
• Practical considerations when introducing photobiomodulation into therapy programs

As research into transcranial photobiomodulation continues to expand, clinicians and families are exploring how light-based technologies may support brain health and neurodevelopment.

Watch the full discussion to learn how this emerging approach is being used in real-world pediatric care.
