Demystification

Through a process called "demystification," we help students (and their parents) understand the characteristics of his or her specific profile. The team links this neurodevelopmental profile of strengths, weaknesses, and affinities to academic skills to help answer, in very specific terms, why a student is struggling with an aspect of school. A clinician carefully explains to the student and parents the connections between the student's neurodevelopmental strengths and weaknesses and academic performance.

We believe this empowering and respectful process makes children part of the solution and helps them feel better about themselves. It encourages optimism and collaboration among children, parents, and teachers, and restores motivation by giving students a positive vision of their futures. We believe that "demystified" students are far better prepared to implement bypass strategies or direct interventions and can also better recognize and appreciate individual differences in others.
