Why You Should Consider Enrolling Your Child
Reading is the most important skill a person has to learn. It lays the foundation for all other
academic skills and a lack of competency in reading greatly inhibits success in life.
Neuroscientists tell us that reading is one of the most difficult skills we learn in a lifetime. This
is because reading requires an extraordinarily high level of cognitive functioning. Some children
and adults have difficulty learning to read effectively because this type of cognitive functioning
is not equally distributed among the population.
Most programs do not target the underlying causes of reading difficulties. There are many
excellent school and private tutoring and therapy programs available for students who are
cognitively able to accept the instruction and intervention being offered. But most struggling
readers do not have the foundational neural connections and prerequisite language skills to
become effective readers. Therefore, children may learn to compensate for poor language and
reading development, but the problem doesn't go away.
Students who attend The Reading Lab are given the advantage of becoming successful and
confident readers and learners. They are also developing increased working memory, attention,
auditory and cognitive processing, and sequencing skills - those areas of the brain that are
critical to the learning process and are essential to all curricular areas. Students receive
individualized foundational language and reading training in a small group setting. Each student
receives one-on-one attention from a highly trained specialist - personally trained by the
neuroscientists who developed the programs being used at the clinic - whether they train at the
Lab or remotely off-site at home.
NEW COURSE OFFERING JUST ADDED
The Reading Lab has recently added The Listening Program (TLP) by Advanced Brain
Technology (ABT) to its mix of course offerings. TLPs clinically-proven approach gently trains
the auditory system to accurately process sounds.
This program will be offered for all children, grades K-12. Systematic training is provided
through listening to psychoacoustically modified classical music which trains the brain to
process sound more efficiently. This leads to improvements in:
or with CDs using specially designed headphones. Students listen for 15 minutes twice a day for
20 weeks.
TLP is meant to support and enhance, not replace the other training programs offered at The
Reading Lab. For more information, visit their website and view their video presentation
at www.advancedbrain.com.
One of the best investments you can make in your child's future is the assurance
that he or she has the advantage of being prepared to learn effectively - for life.
