Homeschool and Adoptive Parents
Dr. Brown’s presentation “Naturalistic or Biblical View of Human Development: Renewing the Mind” at the Homeschooling Special Needs EXPO
We are privileged to work with many parents who homeschool and have adopted children worldwide. Our desire is to equip parents to implement Equipping Minds with all of their children. We want to join you on this journey to bring hope and help your child reach all that God desires for them. If you have a child struggling academically, behaviorally, socially, or personally, or who seems to “learn differently,” please contact us. Carol and her educational therapists can work with you and your student individually, in person or online. We request that parents participate in the sessions to equip them to develop their child’s cognitive abilities throughout their academic career. Parents can also purchase the ROSES program on the SHOP and begin with 12 online sessions to help them get started. An Equipping Minds therapist can conduct all sessions if needed.
Classroom Connection with Equipping Minds
Once the underlying cognitive skills are strengthened, the academic skills become easier. Though we do not train specifically in math, reading, or other academic subjects, the students are taught to make the connection to those subjects through vocabulary development, visualization of letters for spelling and reading, oral and written expression, reading comprehension, attention skills, study and outlining skills, and visualization of numbers for math facts and math sense. All of these skills are required throughout life. The key to learning fast and efficiently lies in improving and automating these skills. The Equipping Minds specialist can support writing and curriculum selection if needed.

Astounded
I have been astounded at the progress he has made in his cognitive development. As a homeschooling mom, it has been much easier to teach him because his mind is assimilating things much quicker. Amy
