Theory of neuroplasticity

A theory suggesting that a child’s brain has a high capacity for neurological compensation and reorganization, making early intervention effective in restoring impaired cognitive and behavioral functions. It is the brain’s ability to rebuild itself in response to life experiences, learning, or trauma. In children, this ability is higher than in adults, which allows the brain to adapt to problems or dysfunctions by redirecting neural pathways or forming alternative neural connections. This concept emphasizes the importance of early intervention, whether educational or therapeutic, to increase the chances of restoring impaired psychological functions such as attention, memory, planning and organization, thereby contributing to normal neuropsychological development and maximizing the functional independence of the child.
