Many of these behaviors are symptoms of another problem. Parents are often surprised by the changes in these problems while completing our learning programs!

Since everything we do and think about begins at the neurological (or brain) level, we find that as we make changes and form new neuropathways in the student’s brain, that past challenges and symptoms are often resolved, or significantly improved.

Be assured that we would make a recommendation to another professional. If we believe that the student’s challenges in behavior and self-esteem are significant enough to warrant a referral to a counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other professional.
