Language and Literacy:
Fast ForWord® uses neurologically designed research to create an intervention like no other, which gets to the underlying foundational issues that challenge children and young adults with Language Disorder, Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD and Auditory Processing Disorders. Fast ForWord builds the cognitive, language and literacy skills necessary to become effective and efficient learners. Through an integrated set of computer-based exercises, this scientifically validated and patented software can deliver a two-year reading and cognitive gain in as little as eight weeks. Combined with data-driven educational content, it adapts to a student’s skill level so students are continually challenged rather than being frustrated by tasks that are too difficult, or bored with tasks that are too easy.Sustainable Improvement of Memory and Attention
COGMED Working Memory Training was developed to help people sustainably improve working memory and attention. Working memory is the ability to keep information in your mind for a short time, focus on a task, and remember what to do next. By training the working memory, your child will be better able to stay focused, ignore distractions, remember instructions, and start and finish tasks. It is most often experienced as attention problems and is a source of poor academic and professional performance. COGMED is ideal for students facing overwhelming educational pressures, young adults seeking upward mobility while challenged by demanding schedules or multitasking, or anyone who wants to keep pace in a fast-moving world.Proven Stress Management and Coherence Program
Stress is silent and pervasive. Constant and continued stress is a major factor to poor scholastic results, examination anxiety, increased medical cost and loss of productivity. But, although it is a known problem, it is largely ignored. Given today’s education environment, accelerating change and unpredictability, how do you maintain readiness and top performance without losing your balance, health and effectiveness? Since 1991, HeartMath has been the leading program that effectively reduces the negative effects of stress and, at the same time, increases a person’s ability to live, study and work more productively. We will help you get into that performance zone by using the HeartMath tools, equipment and training programs.Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a powerful and effective intervention which trains the brain to self-regulate. Our BCIA-certified Neurofeedback Therapists use only the most advanced equipment and knowledge base. Neurofeedback normalizes brain activity through direct training. Clients are shown clear pictorial images of their brains in action, and are taught how to self-regulate fundamental cognitive processes. Neurofeedback is successfully used with ADHD, anxiety disorders, sleep problems and learning disabilities. NFB can also help some autistic spectrum clients. During NFB, brainwave activity from the cerebral cortex is measured on the surface of the scalp. The brainwave signals are processed by specialized computer programs which break the complex signal into frequency bands. Each band has its own function, and the right balance is needed for good mental health.
For ADD/ADHD: As the brain self-regulates, it reduces reliance on medications
When children take stimulants, the effects last a few hours. As the medicine wears off, the ADHD symptoms return. When children learn to control their brain waves during neurofeedback, ADHD symptoms disappear. This improvement is permanent. There have been follow-up studies over a decade. Any gains the child makes stays with him.
This means that successful treatment works for life
