Cognition Before Content

At Mind Discovery Center, our programs are designed to strengthen the cognitive skills that enable our brains to think, learn, read, remember, and solve problems in new ways. Our programs consist of fun, challenging mental and physical exercises that prepare any student for lifelong learning. Our brain training workout plans are customized to challenge and strengthen each child’s unique cognitive abilities.

Structure of Intellect

Mind Discovery understands and addresses the causes of learning difficulties. We begin with the Systems Of Intellect (SOI) Assessment. This assessment looks at the different root causes of learning difficulties.

Integrated Practice Protocol - IPP

The physical component evaluates sensory integration skills, focusing skills, and auditory processing. The IPP program addresses the cause(s) of the learning difficulty.

Primitive Reflexes

The foundation for complex voluntary movements and advanced cognitive functions begins with primitive reflexes. While these unconscious processes are invisible to the untrained eye, they prepare one for higher-level skills such as learning, thinking, planning and movement. By understanding their impact on different behaviors, possible issues can be identified so as to better promote greater proficiency across all areas related to these functions.

Fast ForWord

Fast ForWord is a language, literacy and cognitive skill intervention that uses the principles of neuroplasticity—the ability of the brain to rewire and improve—to remediate the underlying causes of language and reading difficulties

Play Attention

Play Attention was inspired by NASA technology used to train their astronauts to attend under various conditions. This program uses BodyWave technology to read signals from the brain indicating focus and cognitive processing in real time as participants play the game.

Focus Assessment

FOCUS Assessment is a computerized measurement that determines fluctuations in attentional control in terms of consistency, overall performance over a pre-set period, impulsivity, decline in performance and the impact of distractors, such as., auditory and visual distractions. >> Learn More

RightEye

The RightEye system enables practioners to pinpoint functional vision and brain health issues, identify the root cause of reading problems, and improve athletic performance. In just 5 minutes, this proven, patented technology measures visual skills in ways that a standard eye exam cannot — enabling identification and treatment of underlying visual processing disorders.

Orton - Gillingham

This structured literacy approach breaks reading and spelling down into smaller chunks matching letters to sounds. This multi-sensory approach to teaching reading is a common component of effective literacy instruction that includes using: sight, hearing, touch, and movement to help students connect language with letters and words.
