Maximize Learning
for All
by Maggie Dail
We at the Center for Neuro Development and Family Academy Online have combined forces to provide a number of online learning opportunities for those committed to Family Directed Education.
Family Academy and its affiliate school, Academy Northwest, have been serving families since 1981, and we at the Center for Neuro Development have been working with families through FA / ANW for 20 years.
As our world changes, we use different tools and platforms for providing our services. While many of the FA/ANW Teacher Consultants continue to serve families face to face / in person, some of us are working with those families who prefer using online services exclusively, or in combination with the in-person services.* A pre-assessment (to determine needs and starting point) via video conferencing is also included in our offerings.
Who would benefit from these services or combinations?
All of these services benefit students of any age and any level of achievement.
- College bound high schoolers wanting to improve reading and study skills
- Students who struggle academically in some way
- Parents who are teaching their children and want to improve their own skills
New Combo Packages Available
For many years we have offered Brain Training. In February, 2013, we began using Scientific Learning’s Fast ForWord, and later added their Reading Assistant. Research studies and personal experience have proven their effectiveness. Some families have found that what they needed to maximize their learning has been a combination of five days of Fast ForWord or Reading Assistant along with Brain Training (which was an additional fee). However recent research shows that significant progress can be made with Scientific Learning’s products three days a week rather than five. This has led to our new offerings and savings for you.
So, for those who would like to have the advantage of both Scientific Learning and Brain Training, at a lower cost, we offer the following combo packages for the same fee as 5 days a week of Scientific Learning. Keep in mind that families working from home are saving the costs of time and transportation to get to another location.
- 3 sessions/week Scientific Learning (FFWD or RA) plus 2 sessions/week Brain Training using video conferencing (New)
- 4 sessions/week Scientific Learning (FFWD or RA) plus 1 session/week Brain Training using video conferencing (New)
- 5 sessions/week Scientific Learning (FFWD or RA) (Continuing)
Our next session begins November 17. By paying the fee and scheduling the pre-assessment, you reserve one of the limited slots for one of the Scientific Learning products and Brain Training. At the time of the pre-assessment our neurodevelopmentalist will help you decide which plan is best for your student.

*Students enrolled in Academy Northwest can fulfill their 1 hour/week contact time with the Teacher-Consultant by video conferencing.
