Organizing Minds is a Parallel Systems Approach Committed to the Integration of all Domains of Development for the Child with Developmental Delays and for their Adult Mediators                                     

“A single mind produces all aspects of behavior. It is one mind that minds them all. Even if the mind has parts, modules, components, or whatever, they all mesh together to produce behavior. Any bit of behavior has causal tendrils that extend back through large parts of the total cognitive system before grounding in the environmental situation of some earlier times.  If a theory covers only one part or component, it flirts with trouble from the start. It goes without saying that there are dissociations, independencies, and modularities. These all help to break the web of each bit of behavior being shaped by an unlimited set of antecedents. So they are important to understand and help to make that theory simple enough to use.  But they don’t remove the necessity of a theory that provides the total picture and explains the role of the parts and why they exist.”
