Each pack is based on the following underlying concepts:

1. To achieve improvement in any area, children must practise those skills with enough intensity and frequency.
2. Building on the strengths and interests of the child will increase the likelihood that they will repeat the activities that are developing their skills, to achieve the frequency of practise that they need.
3. Generalizing learning is important to ensure that a child is able to perform in the required ways in all areas that they need or want to.
4. To generalize learning, it’s necessary to practise skills in a variety of different ways, in a variety of different settings and with different tools.
5. Activities must be flexible enough to be adapted to any child’s abilities.
6. As children with learning or developmental challenges often have brothers and sisters, it is important to be able to include them wherever possible to increase the ease of use for you as a parent and to increase the chances that your children will naturally return to favourite activities together independently, thus reducing the “work” of to get to your goals.
7. Programs are easier to follow when there is little need for special equipment

We believe for best results that it is important to work in three ways at the same time.

Improve capacity by addressing underlying sensory and motor skills, while supporting children with modified teaching strategies and environmental adjustments, and finally skills development and practice.

For these reasons, Brain Boosters Pack activities are specially designed to develop and practise multiple skills simultaneously in most cases.

In the Classic/Comprehensive Brain Boosters Pack, you receive access to 5 new activities every week, rotating every fortnight as described in the table below:

In our Focussed Booster Packs, you can select from 3 different types of programs which give you 24 specially designed activities to address specific skills sets. You can either follow our suggested sequence of 3 activities per week, or mix and match according to your needs. The choice is yours.

The programs are:

• Attention, Memory & More – every week you receive one each of specific attention, memory and problem solving activities.
• The Three R’s – foundational reading, writing and maths activities are provided founded incorporating movement and sensory experience to reinforce learning
• Talking Plus – logically work through speech, listening and comprehension activities

No they aren’t. These are gamesa and activities that you download the directions and materials from and play offline with your children.

Some activities do require technology (smart phones/cameras) but are always secondary to the main aims of the games that involve them.

Good question!

Over the last 18 months we have had dozens of clients through the early version of the program. With their feedback we have designed the packs to address specific issues:

• Attention, Memory & More – children who are very distractible, have trouble following directions or have been diagnosed with attention or working memory difficulties benefit from the activities in this pack. They are a gentle introduction to developing working memory skills before starting more intensive training.
• Talking Plus has been specifically designed for children participating in speech pathology, with activities that develop a range of speech and language skills including articulation, vocabulary, phonation, oral awareness and listening.
• The Three R’s – this pack provides playful opportunities to develop foundational reading, writing and maths skills and is great for children who are resistant to engaging in homework activities with you.

The Classic Brain Boosters Pack has been a favourite of clients whose children have more significant delays or difficulties because it covers  the basics of development and learning. This 9 month program gives you 180 activities once completed. This makes it ideal for children who need a lot of support in varying their play, developing flexiblity of thinking and who struggle with planning and organization – such as those with dyspraxia and mild to moderate Autistic Spectrum Disorder, although children of all abilities enjoy the activities.

That’s a reasonable question. There are a number of reasons why….

1. Our  Packs are unusual because they’re truly multidisciplinary. Lisa is a Speech Pathologist and Julia is an Occupational Therapist. We combine ideas and strategies from both our professions to create more powerful activities. In addition, we have consulted with professional from the fields of teaching, psychology and physiotherapy in preparation of the programs.

Every game works on more than one learning or developmental skill.This means that if your child has strengths in some of these areas they are more likely to enjoy these activities – and therefore repeat them, thus gaining more benefit from those activities. 

Additionally, if your child has needs in more than one area, by having a multiple focus, you save time – making life a little easier! Most programs available online come from the perspective of only one discipline.

2. We provide strategies to make games easier or more difficult, allowing children of different ages to play together and still be challenged in the right way to enhance learning. This gives you the benefit of being able to save time and give attention to more than one child at a time.

3. To our knowledge, we have the largest library of videos ever prepared by developmental clinicians for this purpose. While you may find activities online little by little, it will take a lot of trial and error and time to gather sufficient games and activities to reach your goals.

For you to take the time to read or listen to the information, and to be sure that it’s doing what you need can be very time consuming. At times it can be confusing as you then you have the problem of putting it all together into a coherent program that actually applies it to your own situation!

It took us many years to do just that – years of clinical practice and development went into each program pack. It has been quite a slow and expensive process!

The result of all this development is that  you receive practical, proven, fun activities that are simple to understand and do that practise the skills you need to work on at home to help you to achieve your goals for your children.

That’s a good question. As practising developmental clinicians with a special interest in children, over many years, we have studied vast amounts of research-based literature and attended numerous seminars on subjects relating to child development, health, wellbeing, parental thinking patterns, attitudes and mindset, etc. The information we are sharing with you is based on:

• Experience – we  share our experience as clinicians and parents;
• Scientific research – we introduce you to cutting-edge research into maximizing your child’s development in all domains;
• Clinical observation – our work with those who have struggled with issues related to child development

The Brain Boosters Packs have been designed using a variety of clinical approaches. They have not been specifically researched, but are backed by evidence from a variety of fields. We are in the process of developing an internal QA measure in order to be able to report perceived benefits of the program.

We strive to keep up to date with research and apply those findings to the activities we’ve designed, so that it reflects best practice in our fields and for early childhood education.

This is a reasonable concern. However, the sessions are broken down into succinct and easy to follow steps.

We’ve worked closely with parents in the development of our program to make sure that the materials are readily understood, so the chances are excellent that you will understand each and every concept just fine.

If you do find yourself struggling with anything, just contact us and we will make sure you get it straight in your mind, so you move through to the next level.
