Programs
Your child’s program is based on meeting with you and your child, developmental and academic history as well the results of a non-clinical ADHD Assessment.
The core program consists of:
- Brain training to improve concentration, impulse control, listening, remembering, following directions and completing tasks.
- Self-regulation training to help your child control behavior and emotions.
- Multiple intelligence training to increase intellectual performance and spark genius.
- Mindfulness Meditation training to boost attention, self-control and self-awareness.
- The Sparks of Genius Code where your child learns to give best effort, be more responsible, sparks genius and persevere.
We also encourage your child to participate in the following activities (in addition Sparks of Genius).
- Physical fitness, including martial arts to increases readiness and motivation to learn as well as to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
- Focused arts, including music, art, dance, writing and theatre, to boost attention, cognition and mood.
- Mastery based coaching if your child has a learning disability (LD) or an academic deficit.
Dr. Rohn Kessler will personally supervise your child’s training. Like a top-notch athletic coach, he will continually adjust the program to maximize your child’s success.
Your child will meet with Dr. Kessler at Sparks of Genius or by Skype for 50 minutes a week and train at home for at least 2 hours per week. It generally takes 30-40 hours of training to solidify the gains.
The 4-month enrollment package includes:
- A 1-year subscription to MindPower Builderâ„¢, a state-of-the-art brain training program.
- A neurofeedback headset.
You get all the hardware and software you need to brain train, and you can continuing training in your home for a full year with a 4-month contract.
Comments of a 9 year old graduate of the program:“What I really like about Sparks of Genius is there’s some games that you can play but they’re not really games. They’re good for your mind and they really get you focused and just get you on your task. Like I started a year ago and I’ve seen much improvement in my handwriting and everything else. It really helps.
I mean it’s like something that you think is a game but then it turns out to be a fun game but with your mind. And it’s cool how you move the things with your mind. So it has a cool concept with it and the technology is really smart. It’s a fun place to be if you have any of those ADD or ADHD stuff.” — Christopher, age 9, Boca Raton, FL.
