As We Rewire Our Peceptions of Discipline
Our Journey Through the Developing Nervous System
As We Rewire Our Peceptions of Discipline
In this presentation we will explore how our nervous systems are impacted by adversity, trauma, and experiences of resiliency through deepened connections and sensory regulation. Behaviours are only signals or indicators that the brain and body are struggling in survival states of functioning. Together, we will explore how we get out in front of the behaviour through our procedures, routines, and transitions. We will also explore the differences between co-regulation and coercive regulation which is the foundation of discipline practices that move us through challenging moments while attending to our emotional, social, and physiological health.

Dr. Lori Desautels has been an Assistant Professor at Butler University since 2016 where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education. Lori was also an Assistant Professor at Marian University in Indianapolis for eight years where she founded the Educational Neuroscience Symposium that has now reached thousands of educations and is in its 10th year. Lori's passion is engaging her students through the social and relational neurosciences as it applies to education by integrating the Applied Educational Neuroscience framework, and its learning principles and practices into her coursework at Butler. Lori continues her work co-teaching in the K-12 schools integrating her applied research into classroom procedures and transition, preparing the nervous system for learning and felt safety. Her third book, "Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline", was released in late 2020, and "International Neuroplasticity: Moving our Nervous Systems and Educational System Toward Post-Traumatic Growth", her fourth book, was released in January 2023.
