At this time of year many of us looked for the right costume for Halloween.  Children get very excited about "what they are going to be this year".  At our house, it looks like the "Caveman" costume will prevail.

As I think about children dawning masks and disguises, I immediately think about those daily challenges children with learning issues hide or cover up.  #Little Giant Steps#, a neuro-educational consulting group, is all about eliminating the need for children, teens or adults to wear a disguise about what they are able to learn or understand. In fact, there is a name for this behavior of "covering up".  It's called "Coping and Compensating". 

Relying On Coping and Compensating Is Always Second Best.

There are programs, and many of them grace the halls of our educational systems, that only teach coping and compensating.  Unfortunately, that is not the best solution for us  today especially in light of the research and development concerning the function of the brain and body and how most learning issues can be eliminated if we address the root cause of the problem.  When I say root cause, I am talking about the symptoms that the individual displays.  How do you think our society decides on the diagnosis of learning issues? They look at the symptoms.  Now the big brave question is, "Can these symptoms be treated at the source"?  Where's the source? It's in the brain. Yes, they can and have been addressed through the Little Giant Steps Neuro-Educational Program quite easily, because we are talking about the root cause of our functional abilities, which is reflected by what happened to a person as an infant  with our early steps of development.

What Intervention Is The Best?

What Little Giant Steps has seen over the years is this. By utilizing the feature of the brain called "plasticity," specific stimulating activities that mimic early developmental steps and stages can, in fact, cause the brain to become organized at the most primitive levels of the brain (the Pons) and can also positively affect the mid-brain.  Plasticity allows the brain to create many new connections not only within the brain itself (that have been delayed in developing for a variety of reasons), but also establishes effective and efficient communication - neuro-pathways (connections) between the brain and body. Our programs have been likened by The Brain Coach this way, "It's like going from a dial-up connection to high speed Internet."  

Little Giant Steps' intervention methods are totally natural. No drug therapy is needed, allowing the areas of dysfunction and deficiency to heal or change and develop into what God had originally intended.  When a child, teen or adult reaches their appropriate level of function or grade level, the individual graduates from the program. The assist (completed development) that was needed to get the "connections" functioning properly has set the course for an even more complete and totally functioning brain and body. Then everything is in order, as was designed by the Master of Creation.

Please see part of the thousands of children we've helped to become whole and reach their full God-given potential by viewing the results of our testing them on math, word recognition and comprehension.  All programs are done at ones convenience at home with parents, siblings, or if a family prefers with a tutor trained by Little Giant Steps.  We've made the whole process easy, convenient, and while you may be busy for a time, there comes a time when you'll see your child (or maybe yourself) making progress in academics, coordination, behavior, conceptual abilities, and most important ~ you'll see an individual who has mastered his or her abilities and now approaches the world with a healthy curiosity, and confidence to seek and enjoy the many mysteries of life and learning.  The need to disguise, mis-direct, act out, or create distractions are no longer needed. The coping and compensating that drains energy disappears. Life does not need a mask any longer.  And, as one little boy who was on program for the #symptoms of dyslexia# told his father, "Dad, I don't have dyslexia anymore.  I'm over it!"  Now, the whole family has a new outlook on life as what he said is true. He is no longer required to struggle.  In fact, when he finished his LGS program, he was functioning five years above grade level!  Not bad for someone with a label of dyslexia.  Now he has neuro-efficiency to reach his full potential!    It's all a matter of fixing developmental function for those at Little Giant Steps, and it's the best lifelong answer!

P.S. Please check out our Professional Programs and our At-Home Programs : "#Developmental Foundations# or pre-school: "#Early Learning Foundations#" . If math is the problem, see "#Rapid Recall System#" ~ you may what to check out the research done in public & private schools on this one! It's amazing!  OH!  I almost forgot those of us over 18:  #Memory & Motion#.  God bless!
