The Benefits of In-Home Brain Training


Most learning struggles don’t come from a lack of effort—they come from how the brain is wired. In-home brain training offers a drug-free way to reshape those connections and tackle learning challenges at their root. You’ll learn how targeted neurodevelopmental programs tap into neuroplasticity to support real, lasting change for your child. Schedule your free consultation today to discover how in-home brain training can transform your child’s learning journey.


Understanding In-Home Brain Training

In-home brain training is a game-changer for families facing learning challenges. It offers a unique approach that dives deep into the workings of the brain. Let's explore how this works.

What is Brain Training?

Brain training is a set of exercises designed to improve cognitive functions. Think of it as a gym for the brain. These exercises target skills like memory, attention, and problem-solving. You might wonder if it's like homework. It's not. It’s fun, interactive, and tailored to your child's needs. Many parents find this approach refreshing compared to traditional methods. By focusing on cognitive skills, brain training helps children do better in school and life.


How It Taps Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity is the brain's power to change and grow. Imagine your brain creating new paths every time you learn something new. In-home brain training taps into this amazing ability. It encourages the brain to form new connections. This can lead to lasting improvements in learning.

Why does this matter? Because it means children are not stuck with their learning challenges. With the right exercises, they can overcome them. This approach is backed by science, making it a reliable option for parents seeking change.


Personalized Approach Benefits

Every child is unique, and so is their learning journey. In-home brain training offers personalized programs that fit each child's needs. This means your child gets the right support at the right time. The benefits are clear: better focus, improved academic performance, and a boost in confidence.

Parents play a key role in this process. With personalized programs, you can be involved every step of the way. This partnership makes the difference in achieving real progress.



Drug-Free Solutions For Learning Challenges

Choosing drug-free solutions can be a relief for many families. In-home brain training goes beyond temporary fixes, aiming for long-term success. Here's why it's a smart choice.


Targeting Root Causes

The key to solving learning challenges is understanding what causes them. In-home brain training focuses on identifying and addressing these root causes. By doing so, it helps children overcome obstacles that hold them back. Instead of masking symptoms, this approach digs deeper. It aims to create a solid foundation for learning.


Advantages Over Medication

While medication can help, it's not always the best option. Brain training offers a natural alternative without side effects. It empowers children to develop skills and strategies that last a lifetime. This approach allows families to avoid the pitfalls of medication, such as dependency and limited effects.

It's about providing a holistic solution that respects each child's individuality. Most people believe medication is the only answer, but brain training offers a different path.


Real-Life Success Stories

Many families have seen incredible transformations through in-home brain training. Take Emily, a 9-year-old who struggled with reading. After months of personalized exercises, Emily not only improved her reading skills but also gained confidence in school. Her story is not unique.

·        Improved grades

·        Increased self-esteem

·        Greater motivation

These success stories prove that in-home brain training works. They offer hope and inspiration for others on a similar journey.


Empowering Families Through Neurodevelopment

Families are at the heart of the in-home brain training process. This section explores how parents and educators can play a vital role.


Parental Involvement and Support

Parents are crucial in their children's learning journey. With in-home brain training, you can actively support and guide your child. This involvement strengthens the learning process and fosters a positive environment.

Imagine being part of your child's progress every step of the way. This empowerment helps you understand and meet their needs effectively.


Educator Insights and Techniques

Educators seeking new methods can benefit from brain training techniques. These insights can enhance teaching strategies, making them more effective for diverse learners. By incorporating brain training exercises into the classroom, teachers can support students in overcoming challenges.

Educators play an essential role in this process, bridging the gap between home and school. By working together, families and teachers can create a supportive learning environment.

Improved Learning Abilities Are Available

by Dr. Jan Bedell • 24 August 2022
HOW THE NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH CAN IMPROVE LEARNING ABILITIES Little Giant Steps, a NeuroDevelopmental Consulting Group has been helping families for over twenty years to improve the learning abilities of children, teens, and adults. We use an approach that changes the functional abilities in the brain. It may sound like rocket science, but it is actually a natural developmental process every human being goes through. Unfortunately, many of our children miss these vital steps, however, through the plasticity of the brain, can be picked up by following specific programs, many are like games, that increase learning abilities. The NeuroDevelopmental Approach is a practice of stimulating the brain with specific activities that will bring about an increase in neuro-pathways, resulting in better neuro-efficiency. With better neuro-efficiency one can receive, process, store and retrieve information more easily resulting in improved organization, short term memory, long term memory, coordination and academic abilities. If an individual has certain number of symptoms that are observed for at least six months, they typically receive a label. In our experience, help for a loved one with learning challenges is much more beneficial than a label. We work with the root causes of learning difficulties as opposed to teaching coping and compensating skills or medicating. Whether you or your child has been labeled, or is having difficulties with tasks such as handwriting or math proficiency, the NeuroDevelopmental approach offers the solution many have searched for.

LEARNING MADE EASIER

by Dr. Jan Bedell • 22 August 2022
Learning can be made easy! How? With all learning problems there is a root cause that can be identified and remedied. When the brain and body are communicating efficiently then sensory input is improved and the learning process can become a joy. Learning Disabilities has become an epidemic in the United States. Labels like Dyslexia, ADD/ ADHD, PDD (Pervasive Developmental Delays), and Autism. These labels have invaded the lives of children and their families and have forever changed the landscape of education. Has the joy of learning been diminished? Yes, it has without a doubt. The professionals at Little Giant Steps are trained to utilize The Neurodevelopmental Approach and have had many years of success in making learning fun again! We address these "symptoms" by using a two-fold assessment. First, using a battery of educational tests, a baseline for math, reading and comprehension are established. Next, a developmental evaluation where nine levels of development in six areas of function are assessed. This information gives the Neurodevelopmentalist or Neuro-Educational Specialist the basis for writing an individualized program. The program will address the root causes. The one common element in all learning issues, from our point of view, has to do with sensory dysfunction. Built into the brain is the element of neuroplasticity which is the natural ability of the brain to change, or repair those areas that are deficient, incomplete, or damaged. We know we can make a difference in the lives of our clients, because we've seen it over and over again. Learning can truly be made a joyful experience that will last a lifetime. "Learning Disabilities Don't Have To Last A Lifetime!"

Tummy Time

by Dr. Jan Bedell • 19 August 2022
MOST IMPORTANT INFANT'S DEVLOPMENT You know how important a solid foundation is for a building. Did you know, for infants, time spent on their tummy is just as foundationally important to their learning abilities, if not more so? God gave us infants who are not developmentally "complete" once out of the womb. They have "Big Developmental Activities" that must be completed - (especially in developing their brain and body connections). The way to accomplish these crutial events is by being on their tummies most waking hours. This is how the brain is mapped (connected) to their body parts. The brain must learn through the largest sensory system of the body - the skin. The way to get the skin totally involved is by the baby being on their tummy! Without signals from stimulation, pressure, temperature, stretching, pushing, pulling, eye-tracking, lifting their head and shoulders, the lower levels of the brain don't start to get organized, and many other bodily-system connections don't develop properly. To grow neuro-connections that send signals from the brain to various body parts, the infant must have daily encounters on a hard surface, so they can have the "workout" that's required to build brain/body connections, muscles in arms, legs, necks, shoulders, back, development of eye-tracking, focusing, looking, and developing sensory knowledge of the world around them ~ hard, soft, cold, warm, hot, wet, dry, etc. These much-needed connections growing between their brain and body is responsible for developing intentional acts rather than random movement. Without the neuro-connections, the neuro-muscular development, the child will suffer from lack of integration, physical, mental and functional delays. The good news is that these infants, toddlers, children, teens, and even adults can always receive a NeuroDevelopmental Program that will bring about the functional abilities that were missed in the early years. Life without being a whole, functionally-rich person is frustrating, causes depression, hopelessness, self-hatred, behavior issues, and poor adapting abilities along with very poor self-esteem. It's like competing in a world with your hands and brain tied behind your back! When a person can't learn due to neuro-inefficiencies it is devastating. Please know that having a learning disability does not have to last a lifetime. The intervention of a Brain Training Program can bring about a totally new life and an approach that is healthy, strong and vital! Learn More with our articles , and free webinars and podcasts PLEASE.... HAVE YOUR BABY ON THEIR TUMMIES DURING THEIR WAKING HOURS! All this results in their brains being stimulated so neuro-connections are made and they develop into functionally coordinated and organized children and later adults! They deserve the best learning foundation possible!

To Label or Not To Label? That is the question.

by Dr. Jan Bedell • 17 August 2022
This podcast discusses whether or not labels are effective and the amazing work from Dr. Jan Bedell at Little Giant Steps. The latest podcast discusses the challenging world out there for parents of struggling learners. Take a few minutes to listen and learn. All types of questions arise like these and Dr. Jan will address: Why can’t my child stay focused on his work? Why can’t she remember from one day to the next? Is she just not paying attention or is there something else at the bottom of this? Is this a character/behavior issue or is there another reason for this inability to follow directions? Why is reading, math, spelling and/or writing so hard for her/him? Why are textures of food such an issue? Shouldn’t getting dressed in the morning be a little easier? After all it is just a sock! Do I need to get him/her tested for a learning disability? The NeuroDevelopmental Approach takes a different look at the symptoms in the questions listed above. Looking for what causes these challenges is the first step toward finding the way to stimulate the brain so it changes. A changed brain produces changed abilities. Changed abilities causes changed behaviors. Many times labels like dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia frequently come with a vague list of things that could be tried and often leave parents confused as to what to do next. Sometimes labels come with recommendations for expensive therapies. The “Brain Coach Tip” here is that these type labels can and often should be avoided.
