EDU-Therapeutics: Practical Brain-Based Instruction Offers Effective Solutions for Overcoming Dyslexia, Attention Deficit, Learning Disabilities and Reading Challenges

EDU-Therapeutics is a unique learning system that offers effective solutions for overcoming dyslexia, attention deficit, learning disabilities and reading challenges.  It succeeds because it changes how an individual uses his or her brain to learn.  It is unique because it identifies the underlying cause of the learning inefficiency and eliminates the symptoms.

EDU-Therapeutics is based on the understanding that brain research has shown us how the brain works and how brains best learn. From this starting point, proven tools, techniques, and materials are focused into the specific areas that students need in order to overcome any learning issue.

This is a system, an entire tool chest, that allows the professional to zero in on the very specific areas of challenge and repair, strengthen, and overcome whichever skills are hindering efficient learning. It is not a "one size fits all," but rather a prescriptive approach.

• No more guessing! Target student needs with assessments (included with workshop) and teaching techniques based on brain research in learning
• Learn brain-based techniques that you can begin using with students tomorrow!
• Techniques can be applied to materials or programs you already have
• Can be used in group or individual settings

Edu-Therapeutics Learning Specialist Workshop - June 2 - 5, 2009
Developer: Dr. Joan Smith, Author and Researcher
Trainer: Jill Stowell, M.S.
Location: Stowell Learning Center, Diamond Bar, CA

Day 1
You will spend the first day learning about brain and neurotransmitter function.  This will provide the opportunity to understand how diet choices benefit attention focus and organization skills.  You will learn to think in terms of activating brain pathways as you design programs to resolve learning inefficiencies and learn about delays in response speed which impact upon attention and learning.

Day 2
On the second day of training the focus is on development of sensory skills including memory (visual, auditory and motor), fine motor, spatial understanding, and listening effectively.  Each of the learning areas features assessment guidelines using the CAB-Blue or other instruments, specific techniques to resolve inefficiencies, and materials. 

Day 3
The third day of training teaches implementation of executive function skills.  These provide an essential part of the resolution of learning issues and progression to becoming an independent learner.   When sensory skills such as memory or attention develop after the expected age, the learning of executive function skills does not automatically occur ~ it has to be taught.  Executive function skills include the use of visualization, re-verbalization, inner language skills, organization techniques, and study skills.

Day 4
The fourth day of training features techniques to implement with reading and other materials you already possess.  The techniques will benefit reading, comprehension, spelling, and retention of number facts.  In addition, you will learn to administer and interpret the Receptive Expressive Observation, a standardized memory test that provides information about a student's input and output channels. This test is easy to give and extremely helpful in understanding and programming for a student's learning profile.

Certification
Participants may gain certification status by completing a case study using the assessment instruments presented in the class.  

You don't want to miss this!
A bonus for participants is the wonderful friendships which develop during the four day experience.  The opportunity to share and benefit from other professionals' and parents' experiences and the energy generated by questions, challenges and new ways of looking at learning is priceless.
