The NeuroToggle® System
Teaching Strategy Meets Neural Circuit Development
Neural circuits hold memories for producing skills and behaviors. Learning changes those circuits. NeuroToggle® guides those changes through targeted teaching.
Learn the NeuroToggle® System
Start With the Educator ToolKit
The NeuroToggle® Educator ToolKit gives educators practical, ready-to-use resources for identifying skills and behaviors, selecting aligned teaching strategies, and refining instruction based on learner response.

How NeuroToggle® Develops Skills and Behaviors
A Practical Framework for Instruction
Skills and behaviors are produced through sensory, cognitive, and motor circuits working together. NeuroToggle® provides a framework for organizing teaching strategies around how those circuits develop so skills and behaviors can be built, strengthened, expanded, and timed through instruction.
Select the skill or behavior you want to develop.
Determine whether the goal is to build, strengthen, expand, or time development.
Use the NeuroToggle® teaching strategies that support that developmental goal.
Adjust instruction based on learner response and outcomes.

Why NeuroToggle® Is Relevant for Neurodivergent Learners
Different Neural Circuit Development Can Affect Skill Development
Neurodivergence involves differences in neural circuit development and function. Because neural circuits hold memories for producing skills and behaviors, those differences can affect how skills emerge, stabilize, generalize, and become accessible.
Sensory Circuits
Receive information from the body and environment.
Cognitive Circuits
Organize, interpret, store, and connect information.
Motor Circuits
Coordinate movement, speech, gestures, and responses.

Speech Development and Future Research
The application of NeuroToggle® to specifically target the skill of speech remains anecdotal and warrants further investigation. Learn more about nonverbal autism, speech motor pathways, AAC, language deprivation syndrome risk, and the need for diagnostic and prognostic pathways.
