Simulations

There Is Nothing More Powerful Than
“Walking A Mile In Their Shoes.”

Have you been asked to speak but not sure
what to say? Want to hold an event but you're not quite sure what
will draw people in? Try offering a simulation experience.

Do you ever have a difficult time getting parents, teachers, or even other professionals to really understand what it's like to have learning challenges?

It's one thing to acknowledge that there are problems.  It's quite another to really understand what it's like.

And no matter what kind of learning challenge a student has, it ALSO shows up in their ability to focus and sustain attention.

But what's it really like...
How does it FEEL?

If you want to have a truly POWERFUL IMPACT on parents, teachers, and other professionals, there is something you can do that will give them the kind of understanding that you have.  It's simply this. 

Give them an EXPERIENCE of having trouble in a school setting. 

The experience alone has been shown to change HOW teachers and parents approach, deal with, and teach students. 

Drs. Joe and Carol Utay have put together two different simulations so that you can share them with the people in your community.  These are “tried and true.”  We've used them over and over through the years because they are soooooo effective. 

We still marvel at the depth of understanding that changes in just a single two-hour experience.

Many simulations have participants “acting as if” they have some kind of difficulty.  In these simulations, the participants will not pretend anything.  We ask them to do their absolute best&just the way students do.  Participants find themselves facing the very real challenges their students face each and every day.

And that experience alone makes THE difference in going from ineffective and frustrated to effective and understanding.  Language changes.  Procedures change.  Explanations become more focused.  And both student and adult have a much easier time. 

The two simulations are:

• Attention Challenges -- the focus is on how difficult it is to function effectively when attention is stressed
• Dyslexia / Language Processing -- which helps participants experience what it's like to have reading, auditory processing, or Dyslexic challenges

These are FULLY complete packages that help you from planning your event all the way through following up after.

Each of these simulation packages includes these details:

• Leading an educational experience
• Planning and promoting your event
• Preparation nuts and bolts
• Choosing appropriate coaches and helpers
• Preparing materials and coaches
• Pre and on-site registration guidelines
• Time considerations
• Marketing the event
• Preparation the day of the event
• Activities: overviews
• Materials checklist
• Project management timeline checklist
• Sample schedule
• Program size variations
• Suggested room layout
• Conducting your event
• 7 final preparation tips from the “voice of experience”
• Introduction scripts
• Activities: Detailed Instructions
• Whole group conclusions and plans
• Dealing with well-meaning stragglers after the event
• Handouts and marketing materials

Both simulations include 6 activities.

Attention Simulation activities: 

• Following directions
• Sustained attention in spite of confusion
• Mad minutes with a twist
• Social norms
• Boring lecture with quiz and internal distractions
• Vocabulary lesson with confusion

Dyslexia / Reading Simulation activities:

• Breaking the Code
• It's Greek to me
• Which way is north
• “Name the word” or “Speak Up Please”
• “Just read the next paragraph and answer a few questions”
• “Don't worry, it's just your teacher and peers waiting for an answer...NOW!” 

The packages include actual scripts to use when delivering the simulations.  Really, nothing is left to chance!

An Incredibly Flexible Tool
The simulations give you many ways to present to different sizes and kinds of audiences. 

These have been used for teacher in-services, parent / PTA meetings, speaking engagements, community group presentations, open house.  Your resourcefulness is the only limit!

“Grateful to have attended,” is what most participants say.  “It will change what I do and how I do it” is a very common remark afterwards. 

Best of all, when you hold an event using a simulation, it accomplishes these marketing goals for you:

• Sets you apart as the expert without having to say so
• Helps you sell your services without ever selling anything
• Gives participants a valuable experience that builds trust and respect for you
• Positions you in the minds of attendees as THE person to call or refer to

It really is a remarkably powerful way to build your business.

What is included in the simulation packages:

• A manual with all the directions, scripts, timelines, strategies for promoting your event, templates to copy and use in your actual presentations.
• Additionally, you'll get access to some additional downloadable bonuses that include actual marketing pieces that we've used in the past few weeks.  All you need to do is fill in your information and you can begin using them immediately.

How much do they cost? 
Please understand that I didn't set the original price.  What I did do was negotiate a VERY special deal for people who are part of our network.

(To put this in perspective, the full retail price for EACH of the simulations is $297.) 

I was able to convince the Drs. Utay to let me offer them for $197 each.  (Saves you $100 off the original price)

OR

If you want to order BOTH together, you can have them for a total of $297. (Saves you $297 off the original price.  Saves you an extra $97 from ordering them separately)

What's nice is that this is a one-time purchase...no buying extra supplies or paying continuing licensing fees.  Get them now and use them for years to come.

When we bought them originally, we paid $297 each.  Over the past years we've used them at least 10 times and received over 100 times that amount in new client fees.

It's a REALLY excellent and POWERFUL way to help people understand the important work that you do.
