An Extension of Little Giant Steps
Parent Coaching - Advanced
Parent Coaching-Advanced (PC-A) is a NeuroDevelopmental in-home program for ages 7+. It is designed to pinpoint challenges and provide individualized brain-building activities. Brain Sprints believes that all future abilities are determined by what is presented to the individual’s brain, not what a label attempts to dictate. The focus of PC-Advanced is to further brain pathway development by addressing the root causes of symptoms associated with labels or learning struggles. The results – accelerated functional and academic abilities!
All PC-A In-Home Programs address brain function in 6 areas on 9 levels of brain development:
gross motor
fine motor
speech/language
auditory
visual
tactility
PC-A programs can also address concerns with behaviors, metabolic and academic challenges.
How Does it Work?
The PC-A program is a series of in-home, individualized, NeuroDevelopmental programs. This year long program implements unique activities in four-month cycles that build and strengthen neurological connections.
