THE FREE SCREENING 

The free Processing and Cognitive Enhancement (PACE) and Auditory Processing Program (APP) screening takes between one and two hours and includes evaluations of attention, short-term memory, long-term retrieval, processing speed, sound blending, and visual and auditory processing. 

WHAT IS OUR STRATEGY? 

First, we test and measure a person's learning problems. If a processing problem is found, a training program is developed to meet the person's special needs. Once enrolled in our program, the client will work on specific goals. A clinician will conduct carefully sequenced activities for three sessions per week to strengthen weak areas in order to bring the learning system up to par. Parents are trained in activities to work with their child at home for an additional three hours per week. This combined effort and intense training is designed to allow each child to achieve maximum results in the minimum amount of time. 

THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW! 

The earlier a learning problem is found, the quicker and easier the treatment is! If you or your child has trouble learning, call us today at (407) 740-5678 for an appointment for a free screening.
