Description
The Level 1 & 2 Equipping Minds Conference trains educators, parents, therapists, and other specialists in our multi-disciplinary approach, which increases anyone’s capacity to learn. You can receive PD and CEU credits as well as certification. If you are unable to join us in person, the online course will be interactive and engaging. You will receive the 2018 Equipping Minds Cognitive Development Curriculum (teacher workbook) and the student workbook. You will have access to the sessions for one year. If you are not able to join us in person, you can purchase the online course or USB recording and watch it at your own pace.
You will be introduced to the theories of neuroplasticity, the role of nutrition, neuro-developmental and primitive reflex therapy, sound therapy, vestibular therapy, vision therapy, and cognitive developmental therapy. You will be provided with a proven set of exercises in these areas through a hands-on approach. This conference is designed for those who want to implement this program into their school, private practice, learning center, workplace, adult living center, treatment center, church, orphanage, or home. This is a crucial time to equip more parents, therapists, and educators in Equipping Minds. Having the conference online is an excellent way to train you if you cannot join us in person.

“Growing self-confidence, willingness to take on challenges, positive attitudes, faster processing, increased working memory, better comprehension, and higher standardized test scores are some of the many blessings of the Equipping Minds cognitive training program. Dr. Brown has designed a program for all ages and skill levels. She has worked hard to make it readily accessible to all who need it. Our school begins every school day with the Equipping Minds program. We are seeing significant changes in our students. They love the games and are becoming more strategic and efficient in their work.”

My staff and I participated in the Equipping Minds ONLINE Conference and found it extremely rewarding because it was easy to follow, understand, and participate although we were not physically present. An added benefit was the extended access to the recording which enabled us to review any aspect of the training which needed reinforcement. I highly recommend ONLINE as a viable option given our current restrictions.

“I just want to say a big thank you for the wonderful conference! I started implementing some of the new things I learned at 7:30 this morning with my first student! The seemingly infinite mutations of each exercise keep the program new and exciting. Was it you who said that our minds love variety? This is a huge difference between Equipping Minds and other programs. I always felt like a rebel! You have not only given us very powerful tools, but you have also given us the freedom and vision to keep pushing the envelope while we love and enjoy each student. Thank you, thank you for such inspiration! Thank you for sharing your God-given gifts with us so freely!”
Most sincerely,
Mary
