LEARNING AND THE BRAIN
Lynn recently joined Learning & the Brain Society because they are doing the research that she is currently using in therapy. It goes along with preparing the mind and body to do your best no matter what you need to do.
“Neuroscience has found a strong link between the brain's networks and motivation, memory, motor skills and executive functions.”
Lynn will be sharing this exciting brain research and show how we can use it to enhance attention, memory and motivation for ourselves, our children or our parents.
Location: Lynn's Office and Therapy Space in Accord
Cost: $ 20.00

Lynn is thrilled to announce that her proposal was accepted and she will presenting at the Apraxia Conference this year.
PREPARING THE MIND and BODY for SPEECH THERAPY with YOGA and BRAIN GYM
Participates will be better understand their own sensory system and then learn ways that work to focus, calm and balance primarily through YOGA and BRAIN GYM. The use of Music will also be discussed and experienced for focus and balance. The underlying premise is that a relaxed body assists in clearing the mind of distractions, and learning is enhanced. The focus of Yoga will be on the breath and phonation - specifically breathing exercises and chanting not poses/asanas. Brain Gym is simple and easy movements that optimize brain function that can be done sitting or standing up.

Lynn WILL BE DOING A PILOT STUDY with a Computer Program for Auditory Processing Skills
“One of Lynn’s greatest strengths is her power positive attitude and her high energy.”
“Lynn possesses an amazing combination of knowledge, talent, and energy that makes her work with the special child singularly unique. She takes the time to know the child and to know the family as well.”
“Lynn views and treats the child as a whole…an important concept since often times issues in one area can affect performance in others. Lynn also treats the parents, whether it be with carry-over ideas and exercises for the home or a strong shoulder to lean on in times of need.”
