<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Cognitive functioning is managed by cognitive processes.</strong> Learning more about cognitive strategies is gaining popularity which goes back to 1956 when Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin discovered it.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Everyone uses cognitive strategies on a regular basis because it&rsquo;s a part of our normal routine.</strong> Cognitive strategies help us with our <em>behavior</em> and <em>thinking </em>so it doesn&rsquo;t matter if we&rsquo;re a regular person, one with special talents, or one with a brain injury we use these strategies every day. This means no matter what we&rsquo;re doing everything is controlled strategically.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>We learn both formally and informally when it comes to certain strategies. </strong>Without this ability we would not be able to learn what we need to on a daily basis. We wouldn&rsquo;t be able to learn certain characteristics and have memories of things. When we have these strategies we have the ability to remember long and short term things that will help us with everyday life.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>We use cognitive strategies all the time whether we realize it or not.</strong> Most things we do are automatic and we know what we&rsquo;re doing so it&rsquo;s something we could do with our eyes closed and we don&rsquo;t even have to think about it. That&rsquo;s where the cognitive strategies that we&rsquo;re not aware of come in and the kind of cognitive strategy is when we&rsquo;re learning something for the first time or we struggle with something that takes a lot of concentration to accomplish.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Our experiences, age, and maturity level are a part of the strategies we use on a regular basis.</strong> With that said, it&rsquo;s unlikely you&rsquo;ll see the same decisions made or thoughts shared from an adult and a 12 year old child. Their entire thinking process is different and that&rsquo;s true when you think about the cognitive strategies that are used. Now that doesn&rsquo;t mean that&rsquo;s always the case, because it&rsquo;s possible their decisions could be the same depending on the situation, but most times they&rsquo;re not.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The effects you see with decisions that are made could be different from one person to another or from an adult to a child.</strong> Even though it could be the same decision the effects they&rsquo;ll have on each individual could and should be different. You see this when a decision is made and then later on down the road the effects are visible. This could be education or job related.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>We all know the decisions we make now affect our future and the things that happens and those come from cognitive strategies we use and decisions that are made.</strong> Some could be good and some could be harmful depending on what they are and how we deal with them. It&rsquo;s possible for a child to learn something incorrectly and not even realize it, and then they go back to use it again and find out they didn&rsquo;t do it correctly and they fail a test or a class. That&rsquo;s where it could be harmful.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Cognitive strategies are all around us.</strong> We use them all the time no matter what we&rsquo;re doing. They vary depending on the person and what&rsquo;s going on and no two people are alike and will have the same strategies. What we need to know here is cognitive strategies are a part of everyday life no matter if we want it them or not.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>This is why I created <a href="http://www.els4kids.com/student-transformation" target="_blank">my Student Transformation System</a>.</strong>&nbsp; It is pertinent for success that a child&rsquo;s cognitive functions be strengthened.&nbsp; This provides the child with an increased capacity to learn.&nbsp; However, stronger skills and new pathways are not the whole solution.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>It is imperative that your child&rsquo;s cognitive strategies to approaching homework, studying, note-taking, comprehension and more are observed and improved upon when necessary.&nbsp;</strong> Take all of this improvement and align it with the classroom, teacher, yourself, your child and anyone else involved and we manage to get everyone on the same page relative to your child&rsquo;s overall performance and next step vision/plan for continued success.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Be sure to check out my latest reading comprehension program which is individualized to meet your child&rsquo;s unique needs and can be implemented online.</strong>&nbsp; Feel free to <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/7DQTH " target="_blank">schedule you&rsquo;re a 30 minute consultation</a> with me where we can discuss your child&rsquo;s needs, create a vision and plan for success.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>I am often asked to explain what brain training means relative to helping your child be able to learn easier and more efficiently. </strong> I often find myself listing out the many benefits that your child can experience.  For example, your child will be able to remember more with better imagery and recall the information faster, concepts whether imagery or auditory based will be understood, manipulated and ordered with much greater ease and organization. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Taking tests and studying will become much easier and less anxiety-driven as your child begins to transfer skills back into the classroom. </strong> Following your multi-step directions at home will be completed when asked without multiple requests to repeat the information.  Your child will be able to follow along in class better and become a more active participant in the overall learning process. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Let&#8217;s not forget attending, focus and less fidgeting will be experienced. </strong> While this sounds wonderful, I do point out to parents that the joy and life-changing events do not stop there.  As your child&#8217;s brain continues to dynamically change to the environment, cognitive skills and processing abilities will strengthen even more.  Even though we all know that the magic pill, one-stop shopping, does not exist, brain training comes pretty close. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Why? </strong> Because, when you provide your child with a stronger foundation and capacity to learn, your child&#8217;s horizon has just expanded.  Where your child may never had interest in reading before, books are now curiously interesting.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>Usually, at this point in the conversation I would begin discussing the &#8220;How Can This Be Accomplished?&#8221; question.</strong> All of this wonderful changes in your child is possible because of the Theory of Neuroplasticity.<br />
</span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">&#8220;Santiago Ramon y Cajal (a founder of modern neuroscience) expressed this theory in 1894, three years before Charles Sherrington coined the term <em> synapse</em> to describe the connections made between neurons. In the late 1940s the neuroplasticity model was advanced by Jerzy Konorski, who used the word <em> plasticity</em> to describe &#8220;permanent functional transformations,&#8221; and Donald Hebb, who ascribed testable physiologic characteristics to synaptic plasticity. However, experimental evidence that synapses are capable of long-lasting changes in synaptic strength did not come until the early 1970s, when Timothy Bliss and Terry Lomo described an increase in the synaptic strength of neurons in the mammalian hippocampus (a region of the brain critical for some forms of memory) following electrical stimulation. They termed this increase <em>long-lasting potentiation,</em> now referred to as <em>long-term potentiation</em> (LTP).&#8221; (novelguide.com, 2011)<br />
</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong>The best part is that you can accomplish a stronger foundation and cognitive skills within 90 days in most cases.</strong> For example, I often recommend that while you are still getting &#8220;educated&#8221; on my site to start out with a home-based program that can be completed with a computer and internet connection. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><a href="http://www.els4kids.com/brainskills" target="_blank">BrainSkills</a> and <a href="http://www.els4kids.com/brainware-safari" target="_blank">BrainWare Safari</a> can begin the whole process of neuroplasticity and strengthening your child&#8217;s capacity to learn, remember and process by working the program 3x a week for 30 min.</strong> Then, if you even need more intensive brain training and help with transferring the new skills into everyday life and the classroom, you can work with me in-person.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>One of the most common concerns that a parent will present to me is their child&#39;s weak comprehension skills.</strong>&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">When we talk together, we cover many areas of concern where each variable plays an important role in impacting their child&#39;s specific challenges.&nbsp; However, in general, I will always review the 4 strengths every child must possess in order to comprehend successfully.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The first strength, as you can probably guess, is strong cognitive skills</strong>.&nbsp;<span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> </span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Strong cognitive skills, in this case, means making sure, <a target="_blank">through assessment</a>, that your child has the skills needed to remember and recall.&nbsp;</span></span><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"> This translates into having the ability to visualize pictures in their head in order to capture the story for retelling.&nbsp; It means making sure your child&#39;s ability to process the words and sounds they are reading without errors so they are reading and &quot;hearing&quot; the correct word.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Having strong cognitive skills for reading comprehension means making sure your child has several strong foundational strengths.&nbsp; </strong>This means having the ability to attend to the content, can process at a speed necessary so their short-term memory can make sense of the information; your child&#39;s memory areas (visual/auditory/working) are strong and large enough to hold the incoming information for recall and processing and that your child can make sense (understand) of what is being read.&nbsp; Phew, that is a lot to digest.&nbsp; All of these skills lay the foundation for reading comprehension.&nbsp; There are other cognitive skills that play into comprehending well but the above skills are crucial.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Once your child&#39;s cognitive skills are strong, your child now has the &quot;ability&quot; to comprehend.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp; This still doesn&#39;t mean, necessarily that your child knows how to comprehend yet.&nbsp; That is why my<a target="_blank"> Student Transformation System</a> not only strengthens your child&#39;s ability to learn but also makes sure your child has the basics on how to learn.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The second strength every child must possess is the ability to decode what is being read.</strong>&nbsp; Your child needs to be secure in sound-to-code and code-to-sound.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; If your child cannot decode a word to read it, most likely they are skipping over it entirely.&nbsp; This alone will leave your child with only parts of the story for recall.&nbsp; Worst case scenario is that the word or words that they skip over or decode incorrectly may be the adjective or verb that is leading to a climax or the main idea of the story.&nbsp; The sentence won&#39;t make a lot of sense with words missing so when your child reaches for the recall, it will be choppy at best.&nbsp; When I work with your child, I make sure they are able to decode/encode successfully. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><img alt="key words" src="http://www.els4kids.com/wp-content/uploads/iStock_000011299294XSmall.jpg" style="width: 371px; height: 246px;" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The third strength every child needs for successful comprehension is the ability to recognize those words that cannot be decoded through strategy</strong>.&nbsp; Some reading programs have pages and pages and pages of these words which will require your child to have strong memory skills (auditory/visual/working and long-term memory) to retain and recall these words.&nbsp; Processing skills and speed along with attention need to be strong for the memory to be successful.&nbsp; When I work with your child, all these skills are strengthened.&nbsp; I use Master the Code which only has literally one page of words that are exceptions.&nbsp; Once your child has these irregular or sight words integrated into their memory and can recall them, you need to make sure they understand them.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The fourth strength I always talk about with a parent is the ability to understand language.&nbsp; </strong>Your child&#39;s purpose for reading may start out for entertainment reasons but as he/she gets older the purpose becomes more towards gaining information to learn.&nbsp; Your child needs to be able to read to learn; to gain benefit from the words and content.&nbsp; To be able to do this task, your child needs to understand the language, not just read decode it correctly. &nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://www.els4kids.com/wp-content/uploads/iStock_000011817723XSmall.jpg" style="width: 365px; height: 218px;" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Your child&#39;s expressive vocabulary, the words and meanings understood when your child is speaking or writing may be strong.&nbsp;</strong> However, a crucial piece for comprehension is your child&#39;s <em>receptive vocabulary</em> skills. Receptive vocabulary refers to your child&#39;s ability to understand the meaning of the words that are spoken verbally.&nbsp; This counts for the words given to your child when reading content from a teacher&#39;s notes, test questions or when participating in a discussion in class.&nbsp; If your child doesn&#39;t understand the meaning of the word than there is a good chance your child will not know what is being asked by the teacher.&nbsp; This is when your child can answer a literal factual question and get it right but when the data is presented along with words your child is not familiar with then they get the answer wrong.&nbsp; When I work with your child, we work through the first three steps and then touch upon this step using receptive vocabulary interventions.&nbsp; I will assess your child&#39;s receptive vocabulary skills and together we create a road map for success.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The above 4 strengths are required for your child to comprehend successfully.&nbsp;</strong> Each step is a small jaunt towards a bigger life-long journey.&nbsp; <a href="https://my.timedriver.com/7DQTH" target="_blank">Set up your free 30 minute consult with me today </a>and we can begin to pinpoint what is sabotaging your child from learning and comprehending.&nbsp; </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b><img alt="" height="217" src="http://www.els4kids.com/wp-content/uploads/iStock_000010236844XSmall.jpg" width="300" /></b></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>Getting ready for back-to-school means changing your home routine to a more structured one.&nbsp; </b>Especially if relax a lot during the summer months.&nbsp; We do and I dread getting the kids back on schedule for school.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>My kids stay up late, as they are basically teenagers, and get up late in the morning.</b>&nbsp; I actually get to sleep in on some days!&nbsp; Now, however, I need to get them back to getting up between 6:45 and 8:00 a.m. depending on the child. <b><br />
	</b></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>I picked 5 resources that will help you in your transition for back-to-school.&nbsp; </b>The first resource that you should look at is my video on how to organize your child&#39;s notebook.<b>&nbsp;&nbsp; </b>I did two videos on this so you can view both of them. &nbsp;</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>The first one is found at this URL </b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/17/0sEjOwp7ngU%20" mce_href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/17/0sEjOwp7ngU " target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/17/0sEjOwp7ngU&nbsp;
<p>		</a></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>The second one is found here</b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/0/J3g7bot6KSM%20" mce_href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/0/J3g7bot6KSM " target="_blank"> http://www.youtube.com/user/ELS4KIDS#p/u/0/J3g7bot6KSM </a></span></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><b>The second resource that you should look at is my article on creating a &quot;Need To Know Binder&quot; for yourself.</b>&nbsp; This type of binder helps you organize all the important information about your child&#39;s school.&nbsp; You can find the article at this URL <a href="http://www.els4kids.com/binder/" mce_href="http://www.els4kids.com/binder/" target="_blank">http://www.els4kids.com/binder/ </a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The third resource that I am recommending is a short but great visual of how to get your children and home back on &quot;school&quot; schedule with an easy transition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>You can view this video here <a href="http://video.about.com/singleparents/Back-to-School-Tips.htm" target="_blank">http://video.about.com/singleparents/Back-to-School-Tips.htm</a><strong><br />
	</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The fourth resource is to honor the moms that are &quot;on-line&quot; and totally tapped into applications for mobile phones.&nbsp;</strong> I do not own an iPhone myself but just about everyone else does these days.&nbsp; This site is specifically designed for moms and provides mobile apps for back-to-school and more.&nbsp; Your can view this site here<a href="http://momswithapps.com/2010/08/18/a-is-for-apps-back-to-school-at-moms-with-apps/" target="_blank"> http://momswithapps.com/2010/08/18/a-is-for-apps-back-to-school-at-moms-with-apps/</a><br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>The fifth and last resource is a link to an e-book called the Special Needs Handbook.&nbsp; I have this book is paperback and it is a great resource.&nbsp;</strong> Their latest addition that I want to point you towards is their free download that allows you to capture all the necessary info on your child, etc.&nbsp; Yes &#8212; you can now put this information into your brandy new &quot;Need to Know Binder&quot;.&nbsp; I am pointing you to <a href="http://www.driveforrebecca.org/specialneeds.htm" target="_blank">the main page</a> where you will find the latest download I just explained. <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Do not forget that the most important resource for back-to-school is having your child&#39;s cognitive skills assessed.&nbsp; Just as you would assess your child&#39;s eyes and ears, you need to assess how well child can process information.&nbsp; <a href="http://els4kids.com/assessments" target="_blank">Read more about why you would want to assess your child now</a>.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>You know the legends of middle school paper, like the Math Test that Molded, the Vocabulary List that Finally Turned up in the Catbox, or the Permission Slip that Accidentally Ran Through the Washer-Dryer. </strong>Witness a middle schooler&rsquo;s room in the throes of these disasters, and you&rsquo;ll want to duck and cover!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Want to bring some much needed organization into your middle schooler&rsquo;s life this year&mdash;and into your family relationships while you&rsquo;re at it?</strong> Start off right by establishing systems of organization that will help your kid get on top of that homework schedule and all those important papers. Here is a filing project to get your kid started.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>You Will Need:</strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Sturdy Plastic Filing Crate with ridges for hanging files&mdash;we recommend at least 12&rdquo; wide&mdash;big enough to contain all extra papers from your child&rsquo;s schoolwork, plus extra forms for summer, extracurricular, and religious activities and school work if need be</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">7-10 hanging file pockets, multicolored (ideally up to 10 different shades, but if this is hard to find, try buying two 5-color packs)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Matching multicolored manila folders</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">File labels</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Pen</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">5&#215;8&rdquo; index card, colored pens or pencils</span></span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">What to Do:</span></span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">This file crate is designed to hold all major school papers that otherwise would end up stuffed in the Black Holes of your child&rsquo;s backpack, room or locker. Your mission: to make sure that this box isn&rsquo;t just an extension of that disaster!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Start by having your child write his name and this school year&rsquo;s date in big bold letters on the 5&#215;8&rdquo; index card. Have him decorate his name with the colored markers, and then tape the card securely on the front of the filing crate.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">To start, have your child choose a colored sliding folder for each school subject, and write a clear label on the top of each file. Generally, kids will have at least four folders: one each for Math, Science, Social Studies, and English; but you may also want to create a folder for special subjects. Make as many as you need.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Help your child create additional sliding files for extracurricular activities such as music, Scouts, or church, and one for summer camp and activity information.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Place color-coordinated manila folders (based on the color of each file folder &#8211; you can simply place colored tabs on each manila folder) in each of the sliding folders. Once a week&mdash;Sunday evening is a good time for this&mdash;invite your child to open up his notebook and backpack, and pull out all the papers that he has completed and no longer needs in class. Working together, place each one in its correct folder.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">For many kids, the process of filing papers gives them a sense of order and satisfaction, but for some, the process may take some more time. Don&rsquo;t hesitate to help every week until your child has it down. And if your child needs some extra encouragement, try making a &ldquo;beat the clock&rdquo; game of filing: how fast can he file a stack of five papers? Ten?</span></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Soon your child will not only be more on top of his school work and his schedule, but he&#39;ll have established some valuable organization habits that will last him a life time!</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: windowtext;">About </span><b><span style="color: black;">85 to 90 percent</span></b><span style="color: black;"> of learning difficulties are due to poor underlying learning skills. These skills include:</span></span></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b><span style="color: black;">Attention/Concentration</span></b><span style="color: black;">: the ability to stay on task or ignore distractions. For example, continuing to read a book while another group is in a discussion.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b>Phonetic awareness</b>: the ability to blend sounds, segment (unglue) sounds, and analyze sounds. Problems with reading new words or spelling errors in writing result from poor phonetic awareness.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b>Memory</b>: the ability to recall short or long term information. For example, copying from a board (short term) or taking a final history exam (long term). </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b>Comprehension</b>: the ability to understand. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b>Visualization</b>: the ability to create mental pictures. For example, seeing &quot;in the mind&quot; a math word problem before trying to solve it. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><b>Processing Speed</b>: the ability to handle and process information quickly.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>
					<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">&nbsp; <strong><span style="color: windowtext;">Are learning difficulties due to a lack of instruction? </span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: windowtext;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: black;">This is easy to determine. If you or your child is able to understand and perform as others do with extra help or tutoring, then the cause of the struggle is poor or inadequate instruction. But if good performance is achieved only after long hours, sweat, or many mistakes, then the problem is deeper.</span></span></span></span></li>

<p><![endif]--><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">Is the lack of motivation the cause of learning problems?</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Very few enter school or a job not wanting to succeed. It is only after they find it difficult, experience failure, or are ridiculed that they avoid the activities that give them pain. In other words, a lack of motivation is usually the result of a learning problem &#8211; not the cause. </span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">Are learning difficulties inherited? </span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Heredity does play a role, but it is minor. It is generally believed that between 40% and 70% of our mental abilities are learned, not inherited. Therefore, we can accomplish far more if we stop blaming the problems on genes, which we can&#39;t change, and start enhancing the skills that are learned and can be changed.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">Can a child with normal intelligence have a problem with learning?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Absolutely. IQ is only an average of many different learning skills, which means it&#39;s possible for someone who has &quot;normal&quot; intelligence to have scored high on some skills and low on others. And if those &quot;low&quot; scores are in the skills required for reading or math, then reading or math achievement will be low even though IQ is &quot;normal.&quot; </span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>				<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">If learning skills are learned, then why are they not learned in school? <br />
				</span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">Every school activity a child does has the potential to further develop an underlying learning skill. But this will only happen if the activity is challenging. School lessons are often either too hard (frustrating) or too easy (boring) because children seldom have equal learning skills. Therefore, to make significant improvement in these skills, individual attention is required.</p>
<p>							Many schools simply don&#39;t have the time or funds to provide this very intensive and structured one-on-one training. Also, most teachers tend to teach to the child&#39;s stronger skills. By avoiding the weak skills, they don&#39;t get developed. The result may be a life-long learning handicap.</span></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">What is a training task like?&nbsp; <br />
					</span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Brain training procedures are made up of tasks that are designed to meet specific goals. The tasks are related, make repetitive demands on a deficient skill, and progressively increase in difficulty. This is a process-specific approach to training (as opposed to a general stimulation approach). A process-specific approach targets the same function systematically and repetitively with related tasks.</span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong><span style="color: windowtext;">Do the results last? </span></strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: black;">Yes. The skills developed are used each day the student is in school or at work. They are constantly being used and therefore don&#39;t regress. This retention is reflected in a study that showed that 98.7% of the one year follow-up cognitive test scores were at least as high as they were at the completion of their brain training programs (specific to PACE)</span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><strong>Can you tell about Processing and Cognitive Enhancement (PACE) Program?</strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Yes, here is a very quick 11 point overview:</span></span></span><span style="color: windowtext;"><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE is based on the <b>best scientific research</b> available and is continually modified to incorporate new scientific data. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE <b>targets and trains those skills</b> that are most likely to have a <b>meaningful impact</b> on learning performance and academic abilities. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE is <b>provided individually</b> to achieve <b>significant results quickly</b>. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE consists of <b>sequenced procedures to challenge</b> &#8211; not bore or frustrate &#8211; the student. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE is provided on a one-on-one basis to allow <b>immediate feedback</b> (error correction and positive reinforcement). </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE improves the student&#39;s <b>self-esteem</b> by allowing him or her to actually see the difference in his or her own performance. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE drives new skills to the subconscious so that they become habitual and <b>automatic</b>. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE procedures <b>appear to be non-academic</b> so that they are different from the schoolwork with which the student may have had negative experiences. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE develops meaningful skills that are used in the student&#39;s daily activities so that there is a <b>high level of retention</b>. </span></span><span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif;">PACE produces <b>valuable results</b> (there is a high return) when considering committed effort, time, and finances.</span></span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><strong>Opsoclonus is defined as an unusual disorder of eye movement</strong>.&nbsp; This is where the eyes involuntarily dart around and Myoclonus is defined as short muscle jerks and &ldquo;ataxia&rdquo; indicates lack of coordination.&nbsp; 1 in 10 million children are diagnosed with this disorder every year.&nbsp; The statistic support this being a rare chronic disorder.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>We currently only have less than a handful of doctors looking into the cause and treatment of the disorder.&nbsp;</strong> We have one doctor in Illinois and another in California.&nbsp; there are other doctors that receive protocol from these doctors and then treat accordingly.&nbsp; There are other doctors that are working on their own theories of OMS, publishing studies and such.&nbsp; However, to this day, there is no known definitive cause and thus no known definitive cure.&nbsp; </span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>There are a number of things that will bring out the symptoms in a person that has Opsoclonus-Myoclonus</strong>. Most times movement of any kind worsens the symptoms. You may see the arms, fingers, head, upper body, or eyelids jerk around. When the illness reaches its peak stage, you&rsquo;ll find it&rsquo;s impossible to stand or sit.&nbsp; Anxiety and stress are major factors and will cause the symptoms to worsen.&nbsp; Treatment is extremely important.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>This illness affects both adults and children, but it presents itself in a completely different way</strong>. Most times in adults, they appear to have mental problems where as children will appear to have anger problems, they may be lethargic, or they may look and act like they&rsquo;re nervous.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p><strong>There are a number of things that can cause Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome</strong>. They can appear separately or together the causes are more specific and known. The two most common causes are infections and tumors. While there are other causes, they are very rare.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><o:p></o:p></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Most times when an infection is the cause, the patient may appear to have flu-like symptoms.</span></span></strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">&nbsp; </span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Most times when an Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome diagnosis is given through an infection, a tumor will be diagnosed later. The tumor is a neuroblastoma.&nbsp; This is important to remember and the doctor should not rule out a tumor until tests are completed.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p><strong>Tumors are usually found in the chest but it&rsquo;s not out of the ordinary to find them in the pelvis or abdomen on occasion.</strong> Now you may wonder how a tumor in those areas can cause brain problems and that&rsquo;s a good question. Research is being conducted right now, but there are a couple of thoughts on this.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p><strong>One of the most commonly expressed theories is an autoimmune illness.</strong> The child with OMS receives an acquired brain injury.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; The brain and the tumor are almost identical in tissue/cells and the immune system can&rsquo;t tell them apart. The only problem with this theory is there are a number of questions regarding the presentation.&nbsp; The docs don&#39;t know the exact cause of the brain injury yet &#8212; how and why exactly the antibodies are traveling up the spinal cord, crossing the brain barrier and attacking the brain stem and cerebellum.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p><strong>Serum antibodies would be another theory that is diagnosed through lab testing.</strong> The doctor needs to test for anti-brain antibodies and abnormal white blood cells. These tests are done through blood work and spinal fluid.</span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong><o:p></o:p></strong></span></span><strong><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Now you may wonder since there isn&rsquo;t a lot of information about this illness, how do you treat it?</span></span></strong><span style="font-weight: bold;">&nbsp; </span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Depending on the location of the tumor, if it&rsquo;s at all possible, it should be removed in children. Now in adults it&rsquo;s not recommended because it&rsquo;s possible the symptoms will get worse.&nbsp; The challenge with treatment protocols beyond a tumor is that insurance won&#39;t always cover the treatment and the medicine can cost upwards of 10,000 &#8211; 50,000 a month for years.&nbsp; Sounds crazy right?&nbsp; Well, it is.&nbsp; <br />
	</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>There are aggressive treatment protocols available depending on how acute the OMS is within the child, the child&#39;s age, onset and more.&nbsp; </strong>You can get more details on treatments by visiting <a href="http://omsusa.org/pranzatelli-medications.htm" target="_blank">http://omsusa.org/. </a></span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p><strong>Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome can be found in both children and adults. </strong>It causes rapid eye movement and is usually caused by an infection or a tumor. Treatment is difficult at best and needs to be thought about before a decision is made.&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>As a mom of a child with OMS, I am trying every day to help spread awareness to avoid a delayed diagnosis and to raise funds for research.</strong>&nbsp; OMS awareness is crucial so doctors will not delay in diagnosing and limit brain injury.&nbsp; OMS will cause cognitive issues that are able to be helped tremendously through brain training and proper methodology/pedagogy.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
