When a child cannot read fluently and effortlessly, learning becomes difficult, frustrating, and even discouraging. Many parents of struggling readers are told that dyslexia and reading difficulties are issues they must work around and struggle with for the rest of their lives. The good news is that this is not true; real help is available. There is hope for treating the root causes of reading difficulties and disabilities. You will gain an understanding of how to help your child overcome all types of reading difficulties through the latest research in neuroscience. We’ll explain interventions that address the underlying causes, allowing for dyslexia to be overcome rather than just teaching them to read and work with their dyslexia.

The focus of most support for ADHD is based on symptom management. The good news is that there are effective ways to treat the causes of ADHD! Join us to learn everything you need to know about ADHD. We’ll touch on symptoms and accurate diagnosis and then dive into research-based treatments options that work. Finally, we’ll share learning strategies for the ADHD brain that you can implement as parent and teacher. Participants will: • Understand the root causes of ADHD along with symptoms and diagnosis • Explore non-medication treatments that work, including nutritional interventions • Learn strategies to help your student with ADHD navigate learning in any environment

Disorganization, poor time management, and difficulty shifting gears are just a few symptoms of poor executive functioning. Executive Function skills are crucial throughout all stages of life. They enable us to develop leadership, time management, and prioritization skills, follow multi-step instructions, think critically, and adapt to change. In this session, we’ll build a solid understanding of executive functions and cover how you can help your child develop these essential skills! Participants will learn: • What executive functioning is and why it matters • Root causes for executive function weaknesses and disorders • Strategies and systems to improve executive functions in your classroom • Treatments for improving executive function

Have you always wanted to improve your child’s ability to follow multi-step instructions, read more fluently, or grasp those tricky math word problems? Have you wondered if there are things you can do as the teacher to improve your child’s progress? The field of neuroscience has provided us an immense amount of information on how the brain learns offering a roadmap on how to teach with brain function to optimize learning. Join us to take away easy-to-implement actionable steps that are quick, affordable, and can make a huge impact in your homeschool classroom. .

Homeschooling children with learning difficulties can be challenging for all parents, especially if you also struggle with learning challenges such as dyslexia or ADHD. Many learning disabilities are hereditary, so parents often find themselves teaching children who share their learning difficulties. The great news is that neuroscience has taught us not only how to be better teachers with these issues but also how to change and rewire the brain to overcome learning challenges, regardless of the age of the child or the parent. Come learn about the amazing, malleable brain and how to harness neuroplasticity to help your child learn and reach their full potential. Participants will: • Understand neuroplasticity as the foundation for learning • Realize the critical role cognitive skills play in learning • Recognize symptoms of cognitive weaknesses as the root cause of learning challenges • Receive strategies to use in the classroom to improve learning • Learn ways to harness neuroplasticity to improve cognitive function
