From July 5-8 2016 Learning & the Brain is offering a Summer Institute in Boston, MA. This Institute will focus on how to apply neuroscientific research to develop individualized interventions for students with learning disabilities. You will learn how to classify learning disorders into distinct categories or subtypes based upon critical neurodevelopmental markers inherent within the child.

Dr. Feifer will show how to link each learning disorder's subtype in reading, writing, spelling and math with scores of evidence based interventions. The use of neuropsychological assessment will be discussed as the primary means to identify children who have not responded to standard protocol interventions. All participants will have the opportunity to create individualized interventions for children with learning needs. The Institute is designed to be an intense, hands-on workshop with group projects and therefore is limited to 40 participants.

You Will Learn to
