Background

About Katarzyna Brimo

I am interested in neuropsychiatric/ ESSENCE conditions in children and adolescents such as autism, ADHD, motor coordination disorder (DCD), intellectual disability, selective mutism, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder ARFID and how they overlap with each other. I have also studied nutritional science, with a focus on the connection between gut microbiota and mental health. Sensorimotor rehabilitation or sensory re-education is another area of my interest, i.e, how to improve neurological body function and open new pathways for cognitive, behavioral, and physical development by using sensorimotor therapies, e.g. Sensory integration therapy (SIT), Functionally oriented Music Therapy (FMT), Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI). Sensorimotor re-education relies on a process called neuroplasticity: the brain’s natural ability to reorganize and rewire itself and learn new functions.
