Our most important goal at BrainTrain Center is to help children who struggle in school.  Kids with learning disabilities often have great strengths–but they learn differently. If your child or a child you know struggles with learning or attention issues, this website is for you.

In order to best accomplish this goal, we offer a variety of therapies and programs that utilize the latest techniques and research to help children to feel successful and achieve their potential.

All programs and therapies are offered in the Center as well as at the child's home, school or daycare center. 

SUMMER PROGRAMS for 2011

We offer morning or afternoon sessions. Our approach is different than that of tutoring – we focus on the source of the struggle, not the symptoms. Brain training is a simple but powerful way to enhance a student’s core ability to learn faster, easier, and better.

The brain processes information through a complex network of nerve cells called neurons. As we learn, groupings of neurons physically work together to accomplish learning or thinking tasks. Research shows that additional, nearby neurons are drawn into this process when the task is new or unfamiliar, or when the intensity of the learning demand is increased. Once the task is mastered, the borrowed neurons are released to go back to other duties; however, the gains in efficiency and processing speed required for that task are retained and make learning-related tasks easier. We don’t teach material, we train learning skills.

• Phonemic Awareness
• Imagery
• Critical Thinking
• Reading & Spelling
• Reading Comprehension
