 Facts about your brain
 Understand the Theory of Neuroplasticity
 List the 7 Categories of Cognitive Skills Needed for Learning
 Be familiar with BrainSkills, BrainWare Safari, Fast ForWord and
PACE programs
 Understand the Student Transformation System and how it
differs from tutoring.
 Know what questions to ask before you work with a brain trainer
 How to get more information


 The primary task of the brain to
help maintain homeostasis –
making sure everything is
working well and in balance.
 The brain receives a constant
stream of data as electrical
impulses from the senses
(eyes, ears, hands, etc) neurons.


 Processing Information that comes in from your senses via
the specialized 10 % of your 100 billion plus cells known as
neurons.
 There are more potential connections between neurons than
atoms in our universe (Carter 2009).
 Neurons will send signals to each other information through
electrical format by way of chemical transportation.
 The mode of transporting the signals is chemical through
neurotransmitters.


 Synapses are the communication
sites where the neurons pass the
impulses across to reach a
receiving cell.

 The mode of transporting the
signals is chemical through what is
known as neurotransmitters.


 Your brain’s neuron’s are always creating new
pathways for communication and
rearranging/strengthening existing
connections based on attention/activity.

 Up until about 10 years ago, scientists
thought our brain was hard wired and could
not be changed.


 Brain activity, associated with a given
function, can move to a different location as a
consequence of normal experience or brain
injury/recovery.

 Changes occur in the brain’s functional and
physical anatomy as a result of new
experiences.


 Change can occur only when the brain is paying
attention and engaged (BDNF released)

 Behavioral circumstances help the brain to release
neurochemical transmitters (amino acids) than
enable change.

 If you are not paying attention, not motivated, etc.
you will not achieve change.


 First, the brain requires attention and memory skills
when attempting to receive information.
 As additional input is received, other cognitive skills are
activated to assist in processing the data.
 Next, visual processing is needed for discerning and
analyzing input.
 Additionally, auditory processing is used to review
process and discriminate sounds.
 We cannot leave out logic and reasoning skills to focus on
problem solving requests as in Math.

 Reading comprehension skills are integrated to deal with
listening and reading activities.
 Finally, each skill will play a part in processing almost
every input.
 Therefore, the degree of strength in these individual
learning skills will impact the ability of your child’s brain to
learn.
 If your child’s skills show some or several weak areas, then
the overall learning process will not be accurate, fast or
efficient. This is often the case with a diagnosed learning
disability.

 Memory (ability to remember the sound-symbol
relationship
 Sound Segmenting (ability to separate or unglue sounds)
 Sound Blending (ability to put together sounds to form
words)
 Auditory Analysis (ability to manipulate or analyze small
changes in groups of sounds)
 Processing Speed (ability to process information quickly)
 Working Memory (ability to retain incoming information
and process it quickly and properly)
 Attention (ability to stay on the given task in spite of
distraction)
 Visualization (ability to create and use mental images)
 Reading Fluidity (ability to read smoothly)
 Logic and Reasoning (ability to nonverbally reason and
solve problems)


 Memory (ability to remember the sound-symbol relationship
 Sequential Processing: to process chunks of information that are received one after
another
 Simultaneous Processing: to process chunks of information that are received all at
once
 Sustained Attention: to be able to stay on task.
 Visual Discrimination: to see differences in size, color, shape, distance, and
orientation of objects.
 Visual Processing: to process and make use of visual images.
 Visual Manipulation: to flip, rotate, move, change color, etc. objects and images in
one's mind
 Auditory Analysis (ability to manipulate or analyze small changes in groups of sounds)
 Processing Speed (ability to process information quickly)
 Working Memory (ability to retain incoming information and process it quickly and
properly)
 Attention (ability to stay on the given task in spite of distraction)
 Visualization (ability to create and use mental images)
 Logic and Reasoning (ability to nonverbally reason and solve problems)


 What you really need is a direct cognitive based
assessment tool that will measure the necessary
cognitive skills for learning.
 Once you discover which cognitive skills are causing
the learning difficulties, you need to strengthen these
skills.
 For example, the assessment will outline in what
cognitive areas your child is performing at the level of
similar aged students.
 The assessment will also identify where your child is
performing above or below similar aged students.
Here is an example of the type of output you receive.

 Studies prove intense; challenging procedures completed one-on-
one will strengthen weak cognitive skills without any regression.

 As a child progresses through a procedure, tasks are added
requiring greater attention and forcing new skills to become
automatic.

 Research studies have shown a child will gain an average over 3.6
year’s improvement in deficient cognitive skills within 12 -24
weeks!

 This type of training requires working with a certified brain trainer
for 12 – 24 weeks. This is where you can TRAIN the brain to
strengthen skills, create and use new neuropathways.

 PACE is based on the best scientific research available and is continually modified to incorporate new
scientific data.

 PACE targets and trains those skills that are most likely to have a meaningful impact on learning
performance and academic abilities.

 PACE is provided individually to achieve significant results quickly.

 PACE consists of sequenced procedures to challenge - not bore or frustrate - the student.

 PACE is provided on a one-on-one basis to allow immediate feedback (error correction and positive
reinforcement).

 PACE improves the student's self-esteem by allowing him or her to actually see the difference in his or her
own performance.

 PACE drives new skills to the subconscious so that they become habitual and automatic.

 PACE procedures are non-academic so that they are different from the schoolwork with which the
student may have had negative experiences.

 Fast ForWord is based off of 30 years of Research relative to how
the brain learns.
 Critical tasks are practiced at an appropriate frequency and
intensity.
 Practice takes place at the right skill level for the individual.
 Multiple skills are “cross-trained” at the same time for lasting
improvement.
 Rewards build as a student progresses, maximizing motivation.
 The learning environment feels “safe,” so students are
encouraged to take risks.
 The content is age appropriate and engaging.
 The research also determined that boosting the brain's ability to
process more effectively leads to better learning.

FF Language to Reading


•BrainSkills consists of a series of 10 different exercises that train a
variety of key cognitive skills that impact learning and reading.

•The recommended protocol is to work on the exercises one hour per
day, five days a week for 12-15 weeks.

•Depending upon each student’s beginning skill level, intensity of
training and needs, the training period can be shorter or longer.

The following is a list of the 10 steps that help to transform you child into
an independent learner.

1. Create an individualized program based on your child's cognitive
assessment.
2. Make student transformation a priority.
3. Baseline your child's present challenges
4. Baseline your child from the teacher's perspective
