Objective
The Lecture Series Program enables graduates of the What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child Course who are not enrolled in the Intensive Treatment Program to attend ongoing lectures in child brain development in order to apply this knowledge to their children at home.
Eligibility
To be eligible to enroll, a parent must have attended the What To Do About Your Brain-Injured Child Course. If both parents are eligible and wish to attend together, then one parent pays tuition and the other parent is awarded a full scholarship.
Content
This six-part program consists of more than eighty hours of lectures, which include demonstrations by the staff, parents, and children enrolled in our Intensive Treatment Program. In addition, there is a comprehensive review of the results of treatment of the children in the Intensive Treatment Program.
Each two-day lecture series contains lectures on mobility growth, intellectual growth, and physiological growth. As the lecture series advances, social growth is included.
Parents may enroll in one lecture series, two lecture series, or all, but the series must be attended in the correct sequence.
Aspirant parents who have attended one or all of these lectures, and who are waiting for an appointment, will be eligible for more advanced home programs than would otherwise have been available to them.
Parents who attend the lecture series will have a deeper and stronger understanding of the principles of child brain development and will be able to create more successful home programs for their children.
Parents not already enrolled in the Aspirant Program have found the results they have achieved as a result of the Lecture Series Program so encouraging that they have sought admission to a higher and more successful program level, The Aspirant Program (Program Five).
Please see the Lecture Series Schedule for lecture titles and the current schedule.
