BrainTools

Since its inception in 2001, BrainTools® has been steadfastly creating the methodologies and tools needed to help give rise to the limitless potential in every child. BrainTools® is a highly specialized therapy center that is dedicated to developing children’s learning capacity using scientifically based clinical tools and practices supported by the latest research in neuroscience and educational psychology. A tool is something that helps us perform tasks with greater ease and efficiency and facilitates the attainment of goals. At BrainTools® we create Tools for the Brain so that children learn how to learn and awaken a lifelong love of learning. BrainTools® approaches learning from an integrative framework, and recognizes that oral language, cognition, and executive control processes are mental tools that underlie our ability to read, write, and do math. When children lack the mental tools required to focus their attention, process information, remember and reflect, their capacity for learning is decreased. This has an immediate and cumulative impact over time which increases the likelihood that a child will struggle academically. Our speech and language therapy program intentionally integrates methodologies that strengthen executive skills and executive functions. Our mission is to help children acquire skills while simultaneously strengthening the underlying cognitive-linguistic and executive processes that underpin learning. Our vision is to be drivers of change in our local and international community by serving as the model for assessment, therapy, and teaching for children with language-based learning disabilities or learning differences. We envision a future where academic challenges are prevented from taking place and all children have the opportunity to be successful emotionally, socially, and academically.
