San Francisco, CA – April 14, 2011- BrainPro, an innovative home learning software program , will be highlighted at the Parent’s Education Network’s conference, EdREV 2011 at ATT Park on Saturday, April 16th. The program combines proven techniques with the remote support of a highly experienced and trained tutor to correct students’ reading problems, increasing their skills to grade level or above by exercising the brain and developing cognitive skills in a fun and engaging way. BrainPro incorporates the Fast ForWord family of products, which are proven to improve reading by as much as two grade levels in as little as 6 to 12 weeks of high intensity, focused learner engagement.
BrainPro incorporates patented technologies based on the science of brain plasticity. Scientists now know that the brain is not hardwired, but can change and be strengthened through intensive, adaptive exercise. BrainPro monitors the user’s progress and continuously adapts to accelerate learning. “Brain imaging and electrophysiological studies show that the brains of children who struggle with reading look more like those of kids reading at grade level after using this type of software,” said Paula Tallal, Ph.D., Co-Director of the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers University. “These changes are what produce gains in attention, language and reading skills.”
Scientific Learning chose to showcase BrainPro at the EdREV conference because its mission is to provide resources for students with learning and attention difficulties, to their parents and educators. “BrainPro is a resource that empowers parents to help improve their children’s ability to read, which is integral to everything we do,” said Andy Myers, President and CEO of Scientific Learning. “Most exciting, teachers of students who use BrainPro and Fast ForWord products report that they are more focused, more engaged, more confident and participate more in class.
Exhibitors must be invited to participate in the EdREV Conference. The exhibit hall is on level 3 of ATT Park and will be open from 9-2 on Saturday.
