A Word from Dr. Lise DeLong
Director of Education for NeurOptimal® & Proud Parent
As parents, when we think about our children and their success in school, most of us typically think we want them to be happy as they make new friends. We want them to study their school subjects and learn how to be independent as they grow. As an educator, I hear those points and translate them to refining socialization, cognitive and problem solving/reasoning skills.

So What Does That Mean?
When we, as educators, break those skills down even more, we think of:
- Socialization Skills help with being happy, communicating with others, resolving conflict and learning to compromise.
- Cognitive Skills cover what we think of as reading, writing, math, science, history, health, and P.E.
- Problem Solving/Reasoning Skills relate to the “what if’s” (problem solving) and the “yeah buts” (reasoning), skills needed for them to survive on their own.
To develop these skills, we find other related areas important for our children to master: Attention and focus, listening, remembering, organizing and understanding how things relate to one another as examples. This is of course an over-simplification of a massive skill set; we can nonetheless understand how important so many of these areas are for our children’s day-to-day, affecting everything from completing homework and following topics at school to staying organized enough to put their backpack together.

The Power of Training Your Brain
NeurOptimal® represents the cutting-edge of neuro-technology today. With the required expertise built into the system and its unsurpassed ease of use, millions of hours of experience have shown NeurOptimal® to be the effective, safe choice for those seeking the most out of life.
Our brain is unique in its complexity and ability; it determines our daily habits, establishes mindset and creates function. We train for the discovery of what our brain is capable of. We train for promoting wellness. We train for continued growth.
Training Your Mind & Your Body
School is most beneficial when the students, staff and parents are in peak mental condition. NeurOptimal® Brain Training does exactly that, allowing the individual to perform at their optimal level. NeurOptimal® does not specifically work on any one skill. Instead, it works globally, by developing the ability for transition, to respond and react when needed and to adjust to change flexibly.
Can you imagine how all the basic skills mentioned above would flourish if your child were able to respond and adjust more quickly and effectively? Every brain, and so every child, is capable of this, and each one will train differently. But even though how they learn will be different, a common thing we have found among them is how their personal journeys are subtle ones – without much of a cue, they will soon start doing things that give the impression of maturing faster than their peers. Many parents report their child getting their backpacks together on their own, finishing their homework without being reminded and thinking ahead to be more organized. The ability to perform optimally in Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Language, Problem Solving and Social Personal skills will promote better performance in all areas of school, from sports to grades. Who wouldn’t want that for their child?
